GENERAL: Furnish and install where indicated on the drawings C/S 2 (50.8 mm) HIGH

PERFORMANCE DRAINABLE FIXED MULLION LOUVER MODEL A2097 as manufacturedby Construction Specialties, Inc. Cranford, New Jersey and Mississauga, Ontario. Complete detailsshall be submitted to the architect for approval prior to fabrication. Supplier must be a member of

AMCA or BSRIA

MATERIAL: Heads, sills and jambs to be one piece structural members of 6063-T6 alloy withintegral caulking slot and retaining beads. Mullions shall be sliding interlock with internal drain(s).Blades to be one piece extrusions with gutter(s) designed to catch and direct water to jamb and

mullion drains. Extrusion thicknesses shall be as follows: Heads, Sills, jambs and blades:

0.063(1.60 mm). Closed cell compression gaskets shall be provided between bottom of the

mullion or jamb and the top of the sill to insure leak tight connections. All fasteners to be

aluminum or stainless steel. All louvers to be furnished with 5/8 (15.87 mm) flattened expanded

mesh, aluminum bird screen with a .055 (1.4 mm) thick extruded aluminum frame. Screens and

screen frames to be standard mill finish.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN: Structural supports shall be designed and furnished by the louvermanufacturer to carry a wind load of not less than_______ psf (Pascals). (Note: If this paragraph is

omitted or if the design wind load is not specified, the louvers will be manufactured in self-supporting units up to a maximum of 5 (1524 mm) wide by 8 (2438 mm) high. Any additional

structural supports required to adequately secure these units within the opening shall be theresponsibility of others.)

TEST DATA: The louver manufacturer shall submit test data on a 4 x 4 (1.22 m x 1.22 m) unitshowing that the louver conforms to the following: (Based on a 15 min. test duration)

Free area: 8.84 ft2 (0.821 m2)

Free area velocity @ point of beginning water penetration (0.01 oz/ft 2 904 FPM (4.59 m/s))

Intake pressure drop @ 0.01 oz ft2 0.13 in. H. free area velocity 2O (32.3 Pa)

Exhaust pressure drop at 1000 FPM (5.09 m/s) free area velocity: 0.16 in. H2O (39.7 Pa)

FINISH: All louvers shall be finished with C/S Powder Coat, a coating to be 1.5 to 3 mil. thick full

strength 100% resin Fluoropolymer coating. Finish to allow zero VOCs to be emitted intofacility of application. Finish to adhere to a 4H Hardness rating. All finishing procedures shall beone continuous operation in the plant of the manufacturer. The coating shall meet or exceed all

requirements of AAMA specification 2605-5 Voluntary Specification for High PerformanceOrganic Coatings on Architectural extrusions and Panels. The louver manufacturer shall supply anindustry standard 20-year limited warranty against failure or excessive fading

of theFluoropolymer Powder Coat finish. This limited warranty shall begin on the date of material

shipment.

Water Penetration Statement

AMCA defines the point of beginning water penetration as the free areavelocity at which the AMCA water test has yielded 0.01 or less ounces of

water per square foot of louver free area during a 15-minute test period.

Tests on non-drainable louvers have shown that the point of beginning

water penetration for 4 and 6-inch deep louvers usually occurs at between

600 and 800 FPM free area velocity. In addition, the total amounts of waterpenetration for non-drainable louvers significantly higher in comparison to

drainable louvers when intake velocities exceed the 600 to 800 FPM range.

Because of these characteristics, C/S recommends that drainable blade

louvers be used for air intake applications whenever water entrainment mustbe minimized. In addition, we suggest that non-drainable louver air intakevelocities be held to 600 FPM through the free area. This will help to limit

significant water penetration during times of average rain conditions.
