The EME520V wind-driven rain-resistant stationary louver is the newest louver offering from Ruskin®. The company says this 5-in vertically-oriented louver has best-in-class wind-driven rain performance (Class A at 29 and 50 mph) along with good pressure drop. The EME520V is constructed of extruded aluminum for low maintenance and high resistance to corrosion, and is AMCA certified for both wind-driven rain protection and air performance.
Ruskin® has introduced the EME720 7-in horizontal louver. The EME720 louver features 56% free area and combines a continuous-blade architectural appearance with the performance of a wind-driven rain-resistant louver.
The louver’s architectural mullion is recessed, notched in the blade, and utilizes drain pockets allowing water to drain away while contributing to an appearance of one continuous louver.
The Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) is seeking technical committee members for the revision of AMCA Standard 500-L, Laboratory Methods of Testing Louvers for Rating.
