SCOPE
Evaluate Jeld-Wen Clipped Aluminum Tube Mullion — LMI/SMI — HVHZ for conformance to the Current Edition of
the Florida Building Code —Building and Residential Volumes including the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ).
The engineering analysis (Reference 3) determines the anchorage of the product to the supporting substrate and
mullion to span design pressures for various window combination assemblies. The product evaluation report
(this document) summarizes Current Edition FBC and Current Edition FRC code compliance verification and
appropriate Limitations and Conditions of Use.
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT - INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
See Reference l.a for a description of the product, its installation and other pertinent data related to its
approved use.
