In accordance with Miami Dade County Test Protocols PA 201(large missile impact), PA 202 (structural pressure, air, water,forced entry), and PA 203 (cyclic pressure), Nana Wall Systems has successfully tested and passed the SL72 in both inswing and outswing applications for all stacking configurations. Please go to http://www.miamidade.gov/buildingcode to view the information at the Miami-Dade website. The SL72 System has received statewide approval in Florida with Product Approval #FL2947. This information can be viewed athttp://www.floridabuilding.org. Both inswing and outswing systems with a raised sill had no water pentration of 8.25 psf (equivalent to 55 psf design wind pressure) and also passed air infiltration and forced entry requirements. The SL72 system has also received statewide approval in Florida for hurricane resistance with Certificate of Product Approval #FL2947. Other building departments may accept taller units and/or untis with a commercial flush sill with a job-specific engineering letter. The SL72 inswing system with a raised or low profile saddle sill is approved with Miami-Dade Country, Florida NOA No. 07-0625-09. The SL72 outswing system with a raised or low profile saddle sill is approved with Miami-Dade county, Florida NOA No. 07-0625-10. With 3' X 8' panels, the inswing system achieved a negative design pressure rating of 90 psf (60 psf with the saddle sill )and a positive design pressure rating of 55 psf. The outswing system achieved a negative design pressure rating of 55 psf and a positive design pressure rating of 55 psf. The SL72 passed Miami Dade County large missile impact testing. Both systems with the raised sill had no water penetration at 8.25 psf. Both systems with both the raised sill and the saddle sill also passed air infiltration and forced entry requirements.

Running Post, Floor-Mounted System

Running Post, Floor-Mounted System

This system is ideal for applications where load-bearing capability of the header is a concern. The system's main weight is carried by the floor track. The upper track is merely a guide. The lower-running carriages ride on top of the sill track and lie above the water run-off level.

Hardware Options
