GENERAL INFORMATION
The information in this manual has been prepared to assist the designer
and installer with the proper application of Armetco’s RWC4 ACM Wet
Seal System. Since each project is unique, the information is intended
to be used as a guideline and in no way ensures proper application of
ACM Wet Seal System panels.
ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is the material of choice
when panel flatness and a high performance finish are a must.
Made from two sheets of aluminum bonded to a thermoplastic core,
ACM is strong yet lightweight and, with the right product knowledge
and equipment, can be fabricated into panel systems that will
accommodate most of your cladding needs.
Armetco Systems offers a complete line of ACM products, systems
and services. With multiple attachment systems and access to all of
the major Aluminum Composite Material manufacturers, Armetco
has an ACM solution for all applications.
Armetco’s RWC4 rout and return system is a wet seal ACM wall
cladding system. The perimeter of the panel is routed and folded to
form a 1” return leg. The corners are sealed and reinforced with
corner plates. Extruded aluminum stiffeners are applied with
structural adhesive on panels over 20 sf. Factory applied .080
aluminum attachment clips are applied with modified truss screws
in a staggered application. Panels shall attach to 18 gauge (min.)

B. Design Requirements:
1. Fabricator shall provide system design including
anchorage to structural system and modifications that
are necessary to meet specified requirements and
maintain visual design concepts.
2. Drawings and specifications are an outline of criteria
and performance requirements for the System.
Requirements specified or indicated by details are
intended to establish basic dimensions of module and
sight lines and profiles of members. Include
modifications or additions required to meet specified
requirements and maintain the visual design concept.
3. Contract Documents do not necessarily indicate or
describe total work required for completion of Work.
Furnish and install all items required for complete

END OF SECTION
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 INSPECTION
A. Surfaces to receive panels shall be even, smooth, sound,
clean, dry and free from defects detrimental to work.
Notify contractor in writing of conditions detrimental to
proper and timely completion of the work. Do not
proceed with erection until unsatisfactory conditions have
been corrected.
B. Surfaces to receive panels shall be structurally sound as
determined by a registered Architect/Engineer.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Erect panel plumb, level, and true.
B. Attachment system shall allow for the free and noiseless
vertical and horizontal thermal movement due to
expansion and contraction for a material temperature
range of -20° F to +180° F (-29° C to +82° C). Buckling
of panels, opening of joints, undue stress on fasteners,
failure of sealants or any other detrimental effects due to
thermal movement will not be permitted. Fabrication,
assembly, and erection procedure shall account for the
ambient temperature at the time of the respective
operation.
C. Panels shall be erected in accordance with an approved
set of shop drawings.
D. Anchor panels securely per engineering
recommendations and in accordance with approved
shop drawings to allow for necessary thermal
movement and structural support.
E. Conform to panel fabricator’s instructions for installation
of concealed fasteners.
