1600 x 1118* (63 x 44*); and Test Specimen #4: HS-LC40 1600 x 1118* (63 x 44*). This
report is a reissue of the original Report No. 86433.04-501-44. This report is reissued in the
name of through written authorization of Chelsea Building Products. Test specimen description
and results are reported herein. The samples were provided by the client.

General Note: An asterisk (*) next to the size designation indicates that the size tested for
optional performance was smaller than the Gateway test size for the product type and class.

Test Specification: The test specimens were evaluated in accordance with
AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-05, Standard/Specification for Windows, Doors, and Unit
Skylights.
