Free area velocities (shown) are higher than average velocity through the overall louver size. See louver selection information.

The beginning point of water penetration is defined as that velocity where the water penetration curve projects through.01 oz. of water (penetration) per sq. ft. of louver free area. * The beginning point of water penetration for Model is 1151 fpm free area velocity. These perfor mance ratings do not guarantee a louver to be weather proof or stormproof and should be used in combination with other factors including good engineering judgement in selecting louvers.
INSTALLATION DETAILS Maximum Size and Installation Information Model is a Florida Product Approved louver and must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions shown herein. Model is qualified for installation within masonry, steel stud, structural steel or wood framed building conditions. Model is structurally calculated to withstand positive and negative wind-loads up to 200 PSF. The louver section size will determine the actual maximum wind-load that the louver sections will withstand. The maximum single section size can be either 84 in. W x 144 in. H or 120 in. W x 84 in. H. The maximum opening width may be unlimited as multiple sections may be installed side by side in accordance with installation instructions. Wood Opening Minimum Single Section Size 12 in. W x 9 in. H Maximum Single Section Size 84 in. W x 144 in. H. or 120 in. W x 84 in. H. Masonry Opening
