LOUVER TYPE AFG501 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS AIROLITE LOUVER TYPE AFG501 is a 5.5-inch (140 mm) deep, severe duty extruded aluminum louver designed to protect exterior wall penetrations on FEMA 320 or 361 compliant storm shelters or safe rooms. Louver type AFG501 may be installed in any exterior wall penetration that requires protection. Design incorporates inverted V style blades which lend high free area and very little airflow resistance while providing maximum protection against extremely high wind loads and wind-borne debris. Louver Type AFG501 withstands wind loads up to ±250 PSF (11.97 kpa) and tested per FEMA 320-08, FEMA 361-08, and ICC 500-08 for debris impact only, which simulates a 15 lb. 2 x 4 traveling at 100 MPH. Airolite Louver Type AFG501 has AMCA Licensed air performance and water penetration ratings that enable designers to select and specify this product with confidence. Please contact your local Airolite representative or the factory for assistance. INSTALLATION DETAILS - CHANNEL FRAME RECESSED/FLUSH MOUNT (DEFAULT) Minimum Rough Opening Section Size: 12 in.

The ratings shown are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA Publication 511 and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program. The AMCA Certified Ratings Seal applies to air performance and water penetration ratings. Airflow Resistance (Standard Air -.075 lb/ft 3 ) Water Penetration (Test Size 48 in. x 48 in. Test Duration of 15 min.) Model AFG501 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. (Tested to AMCA Figure 5.5) 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 0.01 oz. of water (penetration) per sq. ft. of louver free area. *The beginning point of water penetration for Model AFG501 is 634 fpm free area velocity. These performance 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.
