4551 Vari-Slide FAQs

The Monumental 4551 Vari-Slide is a telescoping multi-panel sliding window wall whose panels stack behind one another or pocket into the wall. The 4501 Series is Monumental’s traditional multi-panel slider. Both accept panels up to 84″ wide, a frame height up to 144″ and up to 60 sq ft of glass; the 4551 adds pocketing, flush stacking, Concealed Slim-Track™, and 135°, custom-angle, inverted and radius corner assemblies.

Pocket wall depth and rough opening for a pocketing Monumental 4551 Vari-Slide depend on panel count, panel size and stacking direction, so there is no single figure. Pocket width and depth for each configuration are shown on the 4551 CAD drawings, which registered architects and dealers can download free from the Professionals portal on monumentalwd.com.

The Monumental 4551 Vari-Slide Barefoot Sill is a 1″ flush sill that sits level with the floor inside and out over a sill pan. Standard sill pans direct water to the exterior plane of the building; draining sill pans include couplings that can be plumbed to an exterior drain line. The 4551 CAD set also shows slot-drain and concealed-drain details at pocket conditions.

The Monumental 4551 Vari-Slide slides in one direction, bi-directionally, or bi-parts, in standard and pocketing versions. Configurations include OX, OXX, XX, XXX, OOX, XOO, OXOR, OXOL, OX-XO and PXX-XXP bi-parting, OXVXO and PXXVXXP corners, and PXX and PXXX pocketing layouts. Corner options are 90°, pocket corner, 135°, custom-angle, inverted and radius. Motorization is available for every configuration except bi-directional layouts, including bi-parting, corner, pocketing and radius. Other configurations are available on request.
