This letter certifies that the Front Entry Door and Sidelite as described herein meet
the requirements of the Sixth Edition 2017 FBC pursuant to Section 1709.1 &
1709.2 when installed as specified in the residence listed above.
The site-specific wind loads for the door and Sidelite, using the guidelines in the
Sixth Edition 2017 FBC and ASCE 7- 10 "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings
and Other Structures" are: Doors +40.5 psf -44.0 psf
Sidelite +42.4 psf -45.9 psf
Using the following parameters, Wind Velocity = 170 mph (Vult.); Exposure "C";
Risk Category II; Kd = 0.85; Gcpi = + 0.18; Roof mean height = 25 ft.; and Zone
4, I have analyzed the proposed Mullion for deflection, stress and allowable load,
and find the assemblies capable of sustaining a load of at least +42.4psf and
— 45.9 psf. A specification drawing and summary of the engineering analyses are
attached.
