Adjustable Louver
Drainable Blades
Application and Design
EAD-601 is an adjustable louver designed to protect air intake
and exhaust openings in building exterior walls that require tight
air shut off. Design incorporates a drainable head member and
adjustable drainable blades to channel water to the jambs which
guides the water through vertical downspouts for escape at the
sill. The EAD-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.
penetration for Model EAD-601 is 1007 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.
