Applications
Choose the AM850 where thermal performance matters most, such as heated or cooled warehouses, cold storage perimeter openings and openings exposed to extreme conditions, where the optional EPDM outer bulb seal is recommended. For less demanding openings, compare the AM599 (R-17.5) and the AM426 (R-7.35).
