SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS:

GENERAL: Furnish and install where indicated on the drawings C/S 4(101.6 mm) STORMRESISTANT FIXED HORIZONTAL LOUVER MODEL RS-4300 as manufactured byConstruction Specialties, Inc., Cranford, NJ; Mississauga, Ontario. Complete details shall be

submitted to the architect for approval prior to fabrication. The supplier must be a member ofAMCA or BSRIA.

MATERIAL: Frames and blades to be fabricated from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy. Blades to be

minimum 0.060 (1.52 mm) thick extrusions and frames to be a minimum 0.080 (2.03 mm)

thick. Louver to be mechanically fastened using stainless steel or aluminum fasteners. Louvers to

be supplied with 4 (101.6 mm) high by full depth sill flashing formed from minimum 0.050 (1.27 mm) thick aluminum. Sill flashing to have welded side panels. Louvers and sill flashing to

be installed in accordance with the manufacturers recommended procedures to ensure complete

water integrity performance of louver system. Louvers to be furnished with (12.7 mm) mesh

screen secured within a 12 B & S gauge extruded aluminum frame.

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

omitted or if the design wind load is not specified, the louvers will be manufactured in selfsupporting 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.)

FINISH:All louvers shall be finished with C/S Powder Coat, a coating to be 1.5 to 3 mil. thickfull strength100% 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 supplyan industry 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.

WIND DRIVEN RAIN PERFORMANCE:

The louver test was based on a 39.370 (1.00 m) x 39.370(1.00 m) core area unit tested at a

rainfall rate of 3per hour (75 mm/hr) and with a wind directed to the face of the louver at a

velocity 29.1-mph (13 m/s). The test data shall show the water penetration effectiveness rating ateach corresponding ventilation rate.
