DESCRIPTION
The Series 5500 Sliding Door is new for 2009 and incorporates the latest design in impact resistant and high windload and structural sliding glass doors – The Series 5500 is a fully THERMAL door!
It is engineered to meet the rigid impact & hurricane standards under ASTM E1886/1996 as well as high structural loading to be tested under AAMA A440-05.
This door is designed for high load and impact requirements and yet maintains the same aesthetic lines and ease of functionality associated with all Arcadia products.
This product will utilize 1 1/16” insulated impact resistant laminated glass for impact applications and can accommodate 1”, 1 1/16” or 1 1/8” Insulated tempered non impact glass for high structural loading applications.
FEATURES
- All framing members are thermally broken (filled and de bridged).
- Panel members are thermally broken using a filled and de bridged pocket and some using an Iso Strut thermal barrier.
- Two-Three-and four panel units (handed).
- Frames & Panels are 100% thermally improved.
- The Frame dimension has a 4 1/2” Frame Depth.
- Exterior sliding door panel.
- Offered in standard 6’ 8” height and higher sizes up to 10’ 0” in height - Bigger Sizes may be possible for project specific applications and may require testing.
- All frame & panel components are assembled with 18-8 or 410 stainless steel fasteners.
- Standard Sill With 2 1/2 ” backleg.
- Full stainless steel track cap & heavy duty stainless steel tandem rollers are standard.

SHORT FORM SPECIFICATION
Aluminum Sliding doors shall be Arcadia
Series 5500.
PERFORMANCE
The Series 5500 Thermal has been tested with 10 ft. tall panels and the following performance tests are available:
- AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S. 2/A440-05 -HC 45 for Air, Water & Structural higher loads available with shorter panels
- ASTM E 1886-02/05 & E 1196-02/05 - Small & Large Missile Impact Cycling Design Pressure 70Psf
- ASTM E 283-04 (Air) & ASTM E 331-00 (Water), ASTM E 547-00 (Water) & ASTM E 330-02 (Structural)
- NFRC 102 Physical (u,r factor & condensation)
- NFRC 100 Computer Simulation (u,r factor & condensation)
MATERIALS
All doors shall be fabricated from aluminum extrusions of 6063-T5 alloy & temper with a minimum wall thickness of 0.090” for the door frame sill member and a minimum of 0.072” for all other members including frame and panels. The aluminum shall be free of defects which impair strength and appearance. Component parts and accessories shall be of aluminum alloy, stainless steel or non-metallic materials which will neither deteriorate nor promote corrosion. The sill shall have a full length roll-formed 0.025” thickness, stainless steel track cap. All panel members shall have a minimum of 1- 1 1/4” glass penetration into the aluminum to provide extra protection against “blow-out” during high wind conditions.
The operable panel shall be equipped with two stainless steel tandem ball bearing rollers (standard on all doors). Adams-Rite maximum security lock MS+1950 stainless steel mortise lock standard. Operating panels shall have as standard an extruded 3/4” diameter 8” O.C. aluminum wire pull handle set in either clear or black anodized finish-(other colors available).
All horizontal members shall have three contact points incorporating silicone treated woven pile with mylar center fins. All vertical members shall have four contact points of silicone treated woven pile with mylar center fins. All shall be held in integral extruded slots and secured to prevent movement or loss while operating panel.
All fixed and/or sliding panels shall be constructed to allow for either factory or field glazing. Panel glazing shall be accomplished using a “marine” style reusable, wraparound black flexible EPDM material without the need for separate glazing beads or putty style bedding compounds. This process renders obsolete the “WET GLAZING” methods.
|
The glazing channel shall be provided with the unit for 1 1/16” IG impact glass or 1”, 1 1/16”or 1 1/8” IG tempered glass.
All assembly and installation fasteners shall be 18-8 or 410 stainless steel.
All sliding doors can be furnished with an optional interior Rollaway screen or conventional rolling screen door on the interior track. All screen mesh shall be 18x16 charcoal fiberglass and be secured to the screen frame by a vinyl spline. The frame shall be made of extruded hollow tubular aluminum.
CONSTRUCTION
The standard frame is 4 1/2” deep. The jambs are straight cut and fastened to head and sill to ensure a weather resistant seal and must be back caulked. Each frame corner joint shall be secured with 2 stainless steel screws which heads must be caulked. The profile of the fixed jamb and the latching jamb shall include 3 weather stripped pockets to receive the fixed and latching stiles. Fixed & sliding panels shall have a nominal 1 1/2” depth and shall have overlapped joints to provide extra strength and interlocking mechanically fastened hairline joints. Interlockers and latching stiles shall be heavy gauge tubular sections assuring precise alignment and to resist twisting under load conditions.
FINISH
Available finishes are as follows:
- Clear Anodized Class I (215-R1)
- Dark Bronze Anodized Class 1 (215-R1)
- Standard finish is White baked on enamel Duracon paint PPG UC-42737
- Standard finish is Quaker Bronze baked on enamel Duracon paint PPG UC-88426
Custom colors in a baked-on enamel, Duranar (70% Kynar) or Valspar finish are also available and are subject to minimum square footage requirements. |
