Stationary Louver
Drainable Blade
Application and Design
ESD-435 is a weather louver designed to protect air intake and
exhaust openings in building exterior walls. Design incorporates
drain gutters in the head member and horizontal blades to
channel water to the jambs where water is further channeled
through vertical downspouts and out at the sloped sill. The ESD435 is an extremely efficient louver with AMCA LICENSED
PERFORMANCE DATA enabling designers to select and apply
with confidence.

Free Air Velocity
Model ESD-435 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

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 ESD-435 is 1151 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.
