EACN-601 is a combination louver/damper designed to protect air
intake and exhaust openings in building exterior walls that, at times,
require tight air shut off. Design incorporates a drainable head member,
J style stationary blades and operable blades. When the operable
blades are open, airflow is permitted through the louver, when the
blades are closed, a tight seal is created to prevent the passage of air.
The EACN-601 is an extremely efficient louver with AMCA LICENSED PERFORMANCE DATA enabling designers to select and apply with
confidence.

The AMCA Water Penetration Test provides a method for comparing
various louver models and designs as to their efficiency in resisting
the penetration of rainfall under specific laboratory test conditions.
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.

weather proof or stormproof and should be used in combination with other
factors including good engineering judgement in selecting louvers.

EACN-601INSTALLATION DETAILS
Maximum Size and Installation Information
The maximum single section size for the EACN-601 is 60 in. W x 96 in. H. Larger openings require field assembly of multiple louver
panels to make up the overall opening size. Individual louver panels are designed to withstand a 25 PSF wind-load (please consult
Greenheck if the louvers must withstand higher wind-loads). Structural reinforcing members may be required to adequately support
and install multiple louver panels within a large opening. Structural reinforcing members along with any associated installation
hardware is not provided by Greenheck unless indicated otherwise by Greenheck. Additional information on louver installation may
be found in AMCA Publication #501, Louver Application Manual.
“Best.” The premier fi nish for extruded aluminum. Tough,
long-lasting coating has superior color retention and
abrasive properties. Resists chalking, fading, chemical
abrasion and weathering.
“Better.” Tough, long-lasting coating has excellent color
retention and abrasive properties. Resists chalking, fading,
chemical abrasion and weathering.
“Good.” Provides good adhesion and resistance to
weathering, corrosion and chemical stain.
“Two-step” anodizing is produced by following the normal
anodizing step with a second, colorfast process.
