ESD-403

Stationary Louver

Drainable Blade

Application and Design

ESD-403 is a weather louver designed to protect air intake and exhaust openings in building exterior walls. Design incorporates a drainable head member and stationary horizontal blades to

channel water to the jambs which guides the water through vertical downspouts for escape at the sill. The ESD-403 is an extremely efficient louver with AMCA LICENSED PERFORMANCE DATA enabling designers to select and apply with confidence.

Free Air Velocity

Model ESD-403 resistance to airflow (pressure drop) varies depending on louver application (air intake or air exhaust). Free area velocities (shown) are higher than average velocity through the overall louver size. See louver selection information.

																			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. *The beginning point of water penetration for Model ESD-403 is 1007 fpm free area velocity.

These performance ratings do not guarantee a louver to be weatherproof or stormproof and should be used in combination with other factors including good engineering judgement in selecting louvers.
