400SS SG (Shop Glaze) Screw Spline Curtainwall

Tubelite’s 400SS SG Series Screw Spline thermally broken curtainwall product has been designed to reduce fabrication and installation labor while meeting or exceeding today’s stringent energy codes. The 400SS SG has a 2-1/2″ sight line with system depth of 7-1/2”. This screw spline system has been designed with several options that allow for pre-glazing in the shop, unitized or stick fabricated for field glazing flexibility.

Dependable Performance

The thermal isolator and thick gasketing provide excellent U-Factors and CRF when using high-performance insulated glass. Glass is positioned to the system exterior which provides enhanced resistance to rainwater. 11 anodized finishes and 19 standard paint colors are available on this framing system to complement any project with warranted protection, as well as street appeal. The 400SS also accepts Tubelite’s operable windows, Therml=Block® Doors, and Maxblock® Sunshades.

400SS low- and mid-rise is recommended for use on medium- and low-rise applications. The 1/2” min. bite (see details as bit varies with application) securely grips insulated glass or panels of 1″ thickness. An improved horizontal member allows for expansion/contraction clearances which minimizes splice requirements.

Thorough testing by an independent laboratory ensures the 400SS is the highest quality curtainwall framing product the industry has to offer.

System Features

  • Standard 7-1/2″ (190.5mm) depth system have a 2-1/2″ (63.5mm) sight line
  • Outside glazed pressure-plate system available in captured and structural glazed configurations
  • Pressure plates and face caps can be pre-installed in the shop, eliminating the need to go outside in the field for this part of the installation.
  • Standard infill option 1″ (25.4mm)
  • Thermally Broken using a continuous 1/4” EPDM Isolator
  • Concealed screw spline fastener joinery creates smooth, monolithic appearance
  • Two-piece expansion vertical & two-piece “stacking” horizontal members
  • Can be shop-fabricated and pre-glazed/unitized for improved labor savings
  • Silicone compatible glazing materials for long-lasting seals
  • SSG inside and outside corners available

Optional Features

  • Steel reinforcing available
  • Optional deep profile and bull nose covers available
  • Captured & SSG verticals & horizontals available
  • Easily integrates with Tubelite’s, Entrances, 1350, 1375, Phantom 4000 and Phantom 5000 Insert Vents, and Maxblock® Sunshades (sunshades anchored at intermediate verticals).

Product Applications

  • Ideal for low to mid-rise applications where high performance is desired
  • Applications requiring shop glazed units
