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
information.
Test size 48 in. x 48 in. Test duration of 15 min.
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.

ESD-435INSTALLATION DETAILS
Maximum Size and Installation Information
Maximum single section size for model ESD-435 is 120 in. W x 84 in. H or 84 in. W x 120 in. H (70 sq. ft). 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.
Clear, colorless and hard oxide aluminum coating that resists
weathering and chemical attack.

Greenheck offers a number of industrial coatings such as Hi-Pro Polyester, Epoxy, and Permatector®.
Consult a Greenheck Product Specialist for complete color and application information.
Materials may be supplied in natural aluminum or galvanized steel fi nish when normal weathering is
acceptable and there is no concern for color or color change.
Finishes meet or exceed AAMA 2605, AAMA 2604, and AAMA 2603 requirements. Please consult www.greenheck.com for complete information on standard and
extended paint warranties. Paint fi nish warranties are not applicable to steel products.
