<br />.., <br />I <br />i <br /> <br />Project No. T217 -05 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Sealant: <br />Silicone sealant was applied to all the following: <br />1. Entire bottom of the sill to buck intersection. <br />2. Frame to wood buck intersection on exterior perimeter. <br />3. Exterior and interior wood stops to buck/frame intersection. <br /> <br />Anchorage: <br />The perimeter of the wood buck framing members consisted of2 X 12 Grade 2 S.P.F. <br />lumber. The frame was attached to the wood buck with #8 X 2-1/2" pph screws, 2 per jamb <br />each located at 4-1/2" from top and bottom. Wood stops (3/4" X 3/4") were located on the <br />interior and exterior perimeter of the frame and attached to the wood buck with 1-1/4" long x <br />18 ga. Brad nails located at 6" oc (nominal). <br /> <br />Procedure: <br />Test procedure was in accordance with "ASTM EI996-04, Standard Specification for <br />Performance of Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, Doors and Impact Protective Systems <br />Impacted by Windbome Debris in Hurricanes" and "ASTM EI886-04, Standard Test Method <br />for Performance of Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, Doors, and Impact Protective Systems <br />Impacted by Missile(s) and Exposed to Cyclic Pressure Differentials" and as provided here- <br />in. Plastic film and tape were used in the cyclic pressure test. In our opinion the tape and <br />plastic had no influence on the results of the test. <br /> <br />The impact test was performed at Missile Level "C". Per ASTM EI996-04, Missile Level <br />"c" qualifies for Basic Protection of an assembly elevation less than or equal to 30 ft. in <br />height for Wind Zone 2. (Wind Zone 2 is defined as the Basic Wind Speed greater than or <br />equal to 120 mph and less than 130 mph at greater than 1 mile from the coastline.) <br />
