      Optional Design Pressure Reduction:   14 2" x 5-5/8" Thermally-Broken Tube Mullion  
        If your Mullion's Design Pressure is much higher than what your structure's opening actually requires, you may reduce the Mullion's Design Pressure. This lowers the anchor capacity required and could give you additional anchor options or require less anchors.                      
                             
      Enter Reduced Mullion Design Pressure:  psf Your reduced Anchor/Clip Capacity required is:  lbs                      
                                                         
                           
    Knowing Your Anchor Load Requirement, you can now choose the most appropriate Anchor & Clip Type from the table below. See FL# 21144 "Legacy" for complete mullion installation instructions.

     * Indicates that the Clip & Anchor option does not meet the minimum capacity required for the mullion's required Design Pressure. It may be possible to input the Min. Required Design Pressure in the Optional Design Pressure Reduction section above to obtain more favorable anchor/clip options. N/A indicates that the anchor's tested spacing prohibits its use in this instance regardless of Design Pressure.
