SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS:
GENERAL: Furnish and install where indicated on the drawings C/S 4 (101.6 mm) HIGH
PERPROMANCE FIXED EXTRUDED MULLION LOUVER MODEL A4080-A4085 as
manufactured by Construction Specialties, Inc. Cranford, New Jersey and Mississauga, Ontario.
Complete details shall be submitted to the architect for approval prior to fabrication.
MATERIAL: Heads, sills, jambs and mullions to be one piece structural members of 6063-T52
alloy with integral caulking slot and retaining beads. Mullions shall be sliding interlock with
integral internal drain(s). Heads to be one piece extrusion with gutter(s) designed to catch and
direct water to jamb and mullion drains. 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.
Blades to be one piece extrusions with reinforcing bosses. Extrusion thicknesses shall be as
follows: Heads, Sills, jambs and mullions: 0.081" (2.06 mm) or 0.125 (3.18 mm). Fixed Blades:
0.081 (2.06 mm). 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 (1.40 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 louver
manufacturer 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 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 the
responsibility of others.)
TEST DATA: The louver manufacturer shall submit test data on a 4 x 4 (1.22 m x 1.22 m) unit
showing that the louver conforms to the following: (Based on a 15 min test duration)
Free area:
Free area velocity @ point of beginning water penetration (0.01 oz/ft2):
Intake pressure drop @ 0.01 oz.ft2 free area velocity:
Exhaust pressure drop at 1000 FPM (5.08 m/s) free area velocity:

8.65 ft2 (0.804 m2)

804 FPM (4.08 m/s)
0.12 in. H2O ( 29.8 Pa)
0.19 in. H2O ( 45.5 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 into
facility of application. Finish to adhere to a 4H Hardness rating. All finishing procedures shall be
one 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 Performance
Organic Coatings on Architectural extrusions and Panels. The louver manufacturer shall supply
an industry standard 20-year limited warranty against failure or excessive fading of the
Fluoropolymer Powder Coat finish. This limited warranty shall begin on the date of material
shipment.

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 water penetration 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
must be minimized. In addition, we suggest that non-drainable louver
air intake velocities be held to 600 FPM through the free area. This
will help to limit significant water penetration during times of average
rain conditions.
