Low Profile Saddle Sill, Standard Flush Sill
Type of Test Inward Opening Units Outward Opening Units

Water Penetration:
ASTM E-547-86

Internally Tested

Not applicable for
standard flush sill

No uncontrolled water entry @ 6.0 psf (48 mph) subject to the following adaptations of the sill in the field by others:

  1. Remove the gaskets covering the inner channel.
  2. Drill weep holes through the bottom of this channel
    (about one 1" x 1/4" weep hole per panel.)
  3. Drill weep holes through the bottom of the sill or lower front face of the sill to drain water
    collected to a lower point (about one 1" x 1/4" weep hole per panel.)

Please note that due to varying site requirements and conditions, these sills will not be prepared for drainage by Nana Wall Systems, Inc.If this drainage system is desired, we recommend that a qualified professional construct this system on the project site strictly in accordance with instructions provided by Nana Wall Systems, Inc. and in accordance with good waterproofing techniques.If drain connections are not made or are not possible, unit may leak with wind driven rain.

* Structural Load Deflection ASTM E-330-90: pass
per engineering letter based on raised sill testing.
See design windload charts for other sized panels.
Note that the structural test pressures were 50% higher than the design pressures.
