<br />RE: Masonry Installation of 0201 Double Hung Window, 3' 0" by 6' 0"
<br />
<br />Dear Mr. Fembaugh:
<br />
<br />At your request, I have performed an installation fastener analyses into masonry
<br />block walls for Alside double hung windows, Model 0201. The testing of the actual
<br />windows was done under AT! project 05-30324.02. The fastener analyses provides a 3'
<br />0" wide by 6' 0" high window with an allowable installation design wind pressure (D.P.)
<br />of +/- 55.0 psf.
<br />
<br />To provide this D.P. in a masonry block wall requires 6 Tapcons, each 3/16" in
<br />diameter. There should be 3 Tapcons through each window jamb frame, one near the top,
<br />one at the midheight, and one near the bottom. The minimum penetration of the Tapcons
<br />into solid masonry must be 1-1/4".
<br />
<br />These results are appropriate for the size window stated in the first paragraph
<br />above, and any size smaller. If there are any questions about this analyses, please advise
<br />me.
