Drainable Blade Louver
Application and Design
ESD-603D is an extruded aluminum drainable blade louver
designed to protect air intake and exhaust openings in building
exteriors specifically for applications requiring extremely high
structural design loadings. Design characteristics meet the
performance requirements established by the Florida Building
Code and Miami-Dade County. Tested in accordance with and
passes TAS 201 (Large Missile Impact), TAS 202 (Uniform Static
Air Pressure), TAS 203 (Cyclic Wind Loading) and TAS 100A
(Wind-Driven Rain) with optiononal HCD-240 damper. ESD-603D
may be installed in locations where the space behind the louver is
designed to accept water penetration and houses water resistant/
water proof equipment, components or supplies. Qualified for
installation within masonry/concrete or structural steel framed
building conditions.

Free Air Velocit
Model ESD-603D 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.

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-
603D is 1027 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.
