450 STOREFRONT SERIES

The 450 (1-3/4 x 4-1/2) series is most versatile for exterior applications, since its design to meet higher performance standards. All the systems components are designed to allow interchangeability making them ideal for either exterior or interior application. The series are industry standard center glazed systems that receive all standard entrance door hardware and the door type single or double action door hardware.
This system will receive ¼ glass in a ½ glass pocket width and can be shop or filed fabricated. The extrusion can be reinforced to meet more rigorous performance requirement.

LOCATION OF AIR SEAL

The air seal between the test specimen and the test wall is detailed below. The seal is made of foam weatherstripping and is attached to the edge of the test specimen buck. The test specimen buck is placed against the test wall and clamped in place, compressing the weatherstripping and creating a seal.
PROJECT CONDITIONS

A. Maintain environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, and ventilation) within limits recommended by manufacturer for optimum results. Do not install products under environmental conditions outside manufacturer's recommended limits.
