AAMA 501.2 : How To Perform & Where To Purchase Equipment

An AAMA Field Quality Control Check, the AAMA 501.2 is a method for evaluating curtain wall and storefront for water penetration resistance.




The AAMA 501.2 test procedure, a field water test. (AAMA has actually re-classified the "AAMA Hose Test" procedure, as it is commonly called, to reflect it's true intent of being a Quality Control Check)



If you are preparing to begin field testing curtain wall on your project using water testing 501.2 methods, keep in mind the protocol is not intended for nor does it meet "acceptance" testing criteria.



To be certain consult your project specifications to ensure the work you're doing will meet the requirements.



After years of performing the proceedure, we have developed a 501.2 nozzle assembly that delivers performance and comfort in the field testing environment.
