Description
FAAC Double Spring Fitting – B614 – 490186
The FAAC B614 Double Spring Fitting Pack is the genuine mounting hardware required when configuring a FAAC B614 automatic barrier with two balancing springs.
The fittings connect two FAAC B614 balancing springs into the barrier’s counterbalance mechanism, allowing both springs to operate together to correctly support heavier and longer boom configurations.
FAAC Part Number: 490186
⚙️ Double Spring Configuration
Depending on the boom length and accessories fitted, the FAAC B614 may require either a single or double balancing spring arrangement.
When two balancing springs are required, the 490186 Double Spring Fittings Pack provides the additional mounting components necessary to connect both springs to the B614 balancing mechanism.
FAAC specifically identifies 490186 for use when two balancing springs are required.
🔩 How It Works
In a double-spring configuration, the fitting pack connects the two balancing springs together at their upper and lower mounting points.
The assembly consists of:
- Lower spring mounting plate
- Upper spring mounting plate
- Associated fixing hardware
The lower bracket attaches to the appropriate mounting position within the base of the B614 cabinet, while the upper bracket connects both springs to the adjustable turnbuckle.
The turnbuckle is then adjusted to correctly tension and balance the completed boom assembly.
🚧 Required for Appropriate B614 Configurations
A double spring arrangement may be required according to:
- Boom length
- Boom type
- Boom lighting
- Skirt installation
- End foot installation
- Articulated boom configuration
- Other accessories fitted to the boom
The appropriate spring configuration should always be determined from the applicable FAAC balancing requirements.
📏 6m B614 Boom Configuration
The double spring fitting is particularly relevant when configuring the B614 for an extended 6m boom.
FAAC’s current B614 installation instructions specifically provide a double-spring mounting arrangement for the 6m beam configuration.
For a 6m beam, FAAC specifies that the lower double-spring mounting plate is fixed to the bottom of the barrier body in position A, according to the required left or right-hand configuration.
FAAC also publishes a dedicated installation document for the B614 6m round beam spring and tie-rod configuration.
🔗 Used with B614 Balancing Springs
The 490186 fitting pack is designed for use with:
- FAAC B614 Balancing Spring – 721209
Two balancing springs are installed when required by the selected B614 boom configuration.
The balancing springs themselves are separate from the 490186 fitting pack unless specifically stated as included.

⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for one FAAC B614 Double Spring Fittings Pack – 490186.
Balancing springs are not included.
Two FAAC 721209 balancing springs are required to create a complete double-spring arrangement.
The double spring fitting should only be used where the selected B614 boom configuration requires two balancing springs.
Correct spring selection and adjustment are essential to properly balance the barrier boom and minimise unnecessary load on the B614 motor and transmission.
For a 6m B614 boom configuration, the double-spring system must be installed according to FAAC’s dedicated 6m installation requirements.
