400SS – Screw Spline Curtainwall
Description
Description
WAUSAU
Tubelite 400SS Screw Spline Curtainwall is an exterior glazed,
thermally improved pressure wall system. This gasket glazed, weeped
system will accept infill material up to 1” thick, positioned at the frame
exterior for a minimum of metal exposure. A screw applied pressure
plate secures the infill material and snap fits with a cover plate to
conceal fasteners and allow for two color installations. Open-back
jambs and 2-piece intermediate verticals allow screw spline joints. This
reduces the need for shear blocks, fabrication time and installation
labor costs.
400SS Curtainwall has a 2½” sight-line and is available in
variable deptsh from 5 7/8" to 13 ¼" through face cover / backmember
combinations. It is recommended for use on low to medium rise
structures.

Tubelite
Inc., Reed City, Michigan. Submit substitute product
technical literature, samples, drawings and performance
data ten (10) days prior to bid in order to make a valid
comparison of the products involved.
Performance Requirements
Air infiltration shall not exceed 0.01 cfm/ft2, when
tested in accordance with ASTM E-283 “Rate of Air
Leakage through Exterior Windows” at a test pressure of
6.24 PSF.
There shall be no uncontrolled water entry when
tested in accordance with ASTM E-331 “Water Penetration
of Exterior Windows, Curtainwalls and Doors by Uniform
Static Air Pressure Difference” at a test pressure of 15
PSF.
There shall be no buckling, stress on glass, edge seal
failure, excess stress on curtainwall structure, anchors and
fasteners, or reduction in performance when tested in
accordance with AAMA 501.5-98, at a temperature range
of 0° to 180° F.
There shall be no “Life/Safety” type failures (glass
breakage, anchor failures, or structural damage) when
tested in accordance with AAMA 501.4, seismic test
(lateral cycling).
Structural performance shall be based on a maximum
allowable deflection of L/175 of the span, or ¾” maximum.
The system shall perform to these criteria when subjected
to a wind load of (architect specify) _____ PSF.
Thermal transmittance due to conduction (Uc) shall
not be greater than 0.65 BTU/hr/ft2/F°, and the
Condensation Resistance Factor of the framing (CRF)
shall not be less than 68, when tested in accordance with
AAMA 1503.1-98.
