Product Description

The FDI-L60 Forced Entry Resisting Louver System is capable of resisting 60 minutes of forced entry assault and defeating multiple impacts of 7.62mm NATO and 5.56mm projectiles as defined by applicable U.S. Government Standards.

 

Basic Use

This louver system is used to provide protection in those areas susceptible to mob or terrorist attacks. Applications are likely to be at safe haven rooms where prolonged protection is required. The primary application of louvers is areas where ventilation is required, such as generator room walls.

 

Limitations

It is recommended that each end user determine the ballistic and forced entry threat and choose the appropriate product to meet and resist that threat.

Specifications/Construction

Louver construction: Louvers are constructed of ballistic steel plates and ¾” round.

Louver Frame Construction: Louver frame assembly is constructed of steel tubes and plates. Framing dimensions are 3¼” wide x 10” deep. Louver frames are completely fabricated at factory and shipped with louvers loose. All louvers are pre-tested for fit to ease field installation. All joint connections are welded to provide a rigid assembly when installed. The louver stop is built into the frame. Frames are predrilled to accept ½” anchors 12” on center. Shims are provided to take up a space at each anchor.

Subframes: To meet forced entry requirements of DOS SD.STD-01.01 (Rev. G amended), steel tube subframes ¼” wall thickness minimum, must be attached to concrete or masonry with Hilti® Epoxy Anchoring System. An acceptable alternative is the use of steel embeds, ½” thick minimum. These systems are included as options in our product line.

Finish: All Louvers and frames are furnished prime painted, ready for final finish in field. Options: Factory can apply polyurethane enamel; link to color chart is available on the main page.
