PAC-4000 RV

PAC-4000 RV is the Reveal system of the PAC-4000 metal composite wall family made by PAC-CLAD | Petersen. It is a field-assembled system that gives the look of a fabricated panel wall. It is a barrier wall that uses a low profile batten and reveal molding of 1/2 inch. It is used in metal wall panel and composite cladding work on walls, canopies, fascia and accent bands.

The RV system uses one-piece extruded aluminum moldings. The moldings are mechanically fastened to the substrate. Each panel is inserted into the moldings with sealant and fixed to the substrate with construction adhesive at intermediate locations. Reveal moldings are 1/2 inch typical, with 3 inch also available, and batten profile moldings are standard. Moldings are coated with a Kynar 500 paint system and can be painted to match any standard or custom panel color.

Lead time is 15 business days.

The panel has a prefinished smooth aluminum face of .024 inch minimum, a .105 inch thermoset phenolic resin core and a .010 inch primed aluminum back. The nominal thickness is 4 mm and the weight 1.25 lbs/ft². Other thicknesses are 3 mm and 6 mm. Tolerance is plus or minus 1/32 inch on thickness. The 4 mm is the most common thickness.

Panels are 48 or 60 inches wide and 96, 120 or 144 inches long. Cut-to-size sheets are made to a maximum of 60 x 144 inches. Length and width tolerance is plus 0, minus 1/16 inch, and squareness is 1/64 inch per lineal foot.

System tests are ASTM E283, ASTM E330, ASTM E331 and NFPA 285. The RV carries ICC-ESR-1015 and Florida approval FL14436.3.

Panel tests include ASTM E84 Class A surface burning, ASTM D1781 peel strength at 34.5, ASTM D1929 ignition temperature of 900 degrees F, and ASTM D5420 impact resistance.

Panels have a smooth aluminum skin finished in Kynar 500, standard and metallic colors being coil coated, with anodized and custom spray-applied finishes available. The panel warranty is 10 years, the anodized finish 20 years, spray-applied Kynar 500 20 years, and coil-coated Kynar 500 30 years.

The arrow on the protective film points the same direction on all metallic and anodized panels. Cutting uses a carbide-tipped blade that pulls into the face aluminum. Bent panels are formed above 70 degrees F, and the slope limit for PAC-4000 is 25 degrees from vertical.

The panel is a prefinished smooth aluminum face, a thermoset phenolic core and a primed smooth aluminum backer. Material ships to the jobsite, where it is cut to size with standard carpentry tools. Prefinished trim moldings and accessories are supplied with the panels.

Finishes are PVDF and anodized. The system has its own PAC-4000 color set. Warranty terms are a 10-year panel warranty, a 20-year anodized finish warranty and a 30-year warranty on coil-coated Kynar 500.

Building types named are hospitals, office buildings, schools and retail. Published drawings include isometric, molding, base foundation, horizontal and vertical, intersection, corner, parapet, curve and dissimilar-material details. Data sheets exist for 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm panels, with LEED statements for the same thicknesses. The related systems are the PAC-4000 DRV and the PAC-3000 CS and RS.
