The flange-mounted Ruskin® XP500 louver provides steadfast performance for data centers and community safe rooms with easier installation
Ruskin® has relaunched its patented XP500 aluminum extreme weather louver with a new, low leak flange mounting option. The new flange frame XP500 provides the same high performance as the standard model with easier installation and streamlined shipping.
“The new flange frame option for Ruskin XP500 louvers is a direct result of customer feedback,” said Andrew Jones, product manager for louvers at Ruskin. “Designed for direct mounting of the flange to the substrate, the new installation option eliminates the need for – and shipping of – mounting parts like clip angles.”
Engineered for unwavering performance, the XP500 is a stationary extreme weather louver with sight-proof blades. Tested to FEMA 361 standards and ICC500 specifications, the XP500 delivers superior protection against both large missile impact and class-A wind-driven rain within a single design. Combined with flange mounting, the XP500 meets the requirements for low leaks, making it ideal for critical environments like data centers and hurricane and tornado shelters.
With flange mounting, the XP500 can be attached directly to a wall opening – allowing it to be mounted internally, externally or in conjunction with other louvers with a five-inch-deep frame. A flange-mounted XP500 only requires mounting on two of the four sides, while single units only require mounting on each jamb. Only head and sill mount are offered for multi-section-wide assemblies.
The flange-mounted Ruskin® XP500 aluminum extreme weather louver is manufactured in an ISO9001-certified factory and is backed by a five-year limited warranty. To learn more about the XP500, visit www.ruskin.com/model/xp500. For more information about Ruskin, visit www.ruskin.com.
