Adjustable Louver
J Blade
Application and Design
EAH-401 is an adjustable louver designed to protect air intake and
exhaust openings in building exterior walls. Design incorporates
a drainable head member, adjustable J style blades and high
free area to provide maximum resistance to rain while providing
minimum resistance to airflow. The EAH-401 is an extremely
efficient louver with AMCA LICENSED PERFORMANCE DATA
enabling designers to select and apply with confidence.

Free Area Velocity
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 EAH-401 is 1023 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.

EAH-401INSTALLATION DETAILS
Maximum Size and Installation Information
Maximum single section size for model EAH-401 is 60 in. W x 96 in. H. (without seals). 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 windload (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.
