400 storefront series
1-3/4 x 4” SECTION
400 STOREFRONT SERIES
The 400 Series (1-3/4 x 4 system) stands out as a cost-effective system meticulously designed to meet industry-standard performance requirements efficiently. Featuring components designed for interchangeability, this series is versatile, suitable for both exterior and interior applications. It represents an industry-standard center-glazed system, seamlessly accommodating all standard entrance door hardware and door types, including those with single or double-action door hardware.
This system is capable of receiving ¼-inch glass within a ½-inch glass pocket width, providing flexibility for both shop and field fabrication. Additionally, the extrusions can be reinforced to meet more demanding performance requirements, ensuring durability and adherence to rigorous standards.
HANDLING, STORAGE AND PROTECTION OF ALUMINUM
The following precautions are recommended to protect the material against damage.
Following these precautions will help ensure early acceptance of your products and workmanship.
The mockup specimen for testing was a flat wall specimen, nominal one (1) story high, consisting of a 4 1/2″ deep, offset glazed, aluminum window wall system, measuring approx, 10´ wide by 10´ high (3 lites wide by 2 lites high). The system was glazed.
Compliance Statement: Results obtained are tested values and were secured by using the designated test method(s). The samples tested met the performance requeriments set forth in the referenced test procedures for a +1676/-2873 Pa (+35/-60psf) Design Pressure with missile impacts corresponding to Missile Level D and Wind Zone 3 for a basic protection rating.
