Type of Test Testing Results

Air Infiltration 1

ASTM E-283

@ 1.57 psf (75 Pa): 0.46 cfm/ft2 (without weep holes)

@ 1.57 psf (75 Pa): 0.56 cfm/ft2 (with weepholes)

Water Penetration 1

ASTM E-331, E-547

Subject to the following adaptation of the sill in the field by others:

  1. Drill weep holes through the bottom of the inner channel to the chamber below (about 2 x 3/8″ weep hole per panel).
  2. Drill weep holes through the lower front face of the sill to the chamber below the inner channel (about 2 x 3/8″ weep hole per panel).
  3. Drain the water from the outside weep holes away from the sill.
