Product Type: Fixed Window
Series/Model #: 500 Replacement (Model: 500-PW-T001) Fixed Window
Specification: AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2-97
Designation: F-R35 (60" X 60") AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2-97 GRADE 35
General:
Test sample was comprised of 500 Replacement, Picture Vinyl Window, with
an overall master frame size measuring 60" wide X 60" high X 3-1/4" depth.
The frame was of welded mitered type corner construction.
Weather-Stripping:
None
Operators and Other Hardware:
None
Glazing System:
The fixed lite was interior drop glazed with 3/4" (nominal) thick
insulated glass. The fixed lite utilized two (1/8" nominal) thick clear
annealed glass lites with a 1/2" perimeter metal spacer. The glazing was
set on a bead of silicone along the perimeter of the frame. A interior
snap-in rigid vinyl-glazing bead secured the glass.
Weep Holes:
Two (5/16" diameter) weep holes were located on the bottom of the glazing
track, one 2-3/4" from each end. Two (1-3/8" w x 5/16"h reduced to 1-3/16"
w x 1/8" h) weep slots with flap were located on the exterior face of the
sill, one 2-3/4" in from each end. Two (9/16" w x 9/16" ht x 25/32"
diagonal) triangular weeps at each end of sill on innermost interior wall
of the sill.
Sealant:
Silicone sealant was applied to all the following areas:
* Perimeter of the glazing was set in continuous bead of silicone.
* Exterior face of frame to buck intersection.
Anchorage:
Silicone sealant was used around the exterior perimeter of the frame to
buck intersections. Two (#8 x 2" long ) screws were used for each jamb to
secure the frame to the buck, one 5-3/4" from each end.
