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

Free Air Velocity
Model ESJ-401LT 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 ESJ-401LT is 691 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.
