ESJ-401

Stationary Louver
J Blade
Application and Design
ESJ-401 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-401 is an extremely efficient louver with AMCA LICENSED
PERFORMANCE DATA enabling designers to select and apply with
confidence.

Maximum Size and Installation Information Extruded Aluminu

Maximum single section size for model ESJ-401 is 120 in. W x 84 in. H or 84 in. W x 120 in. H (70 sq. ft). Larger openings require
field assembly of multiple louver sections to make up the overall opening size. Individual louver sections are designed to withstand
a 25 PSF wind load (please consult Greenheck if the louvers must withstand higher wind-loads). Structural reinforcing members
may be required to adequately support and install multiple louver sections within a large opening. Structural reinforcing members
along with any associated installation hardware is not provided by Greenheck unless indicated otherwise by Greenheck. Options
and accessories including, but not limited to, screens, filter racks, louver doors, and blank off panels are not subject to structural
analysis unless indicated otherwise by Greenheck. Additional information on louver installation may be found in AMCA Publication
#501, Louver Application Manual.
