The windows considered were as follows: <br /> <br />Size <br />4' 4" x 7' 0" <br />3' 8" x 6' 5" <br />4'4" x'5' I" <br />3' 0" X 6' 0" <br /> <br />DP <br />25 psf <br />40 psf <br />40 psf <br />50 psf <br /> <br />Test Report No. <br />64874.02-501-47 <br />64874.02-501-47 <br />64874.02-501-47 <br />64874.02-501-47 <br /> <br />My analysis assumed using #8 (0.164" dia.) wood screws with a minimum penetration of <br />1-114". To safely resist the design wind pressure, 8 such anchors are req'uired. At' <br />installation, use three (3) anchors in each jamb: one near the top and bottom corners and <br />one near the midspan, and one (1) anchor in the mid span of the head and sill. For the <br />4' 4" wide by 5' 1" tall window and the 3' 0" wide by 6' 0" tall window, the anchor in the <br />sill is not required. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding my analysis, please contact me, <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />ARCHITECTURAL TESTING, INC <br /> <br />~ a. /l--<~dZ.. <br /> <br />llillIWI'..............J>..- <br /> <br />Joseph A.
