1.05 DEFINITIONS A. B. elastomer: A material that has the properties of natural rubber. EPDM: Ethylene-propylene-diene-methylene terpolymer is recognized for its resistance to weathering and high temperatures. It is a high density elastomer that has better cut-through resistance than Silicone rubber. extrusion: A method of processing plastics where the material is pushed through a die under pressure to form a continuous strip of a particular shape. neoprene: A DuPont trademark. Synthetic flexible material used for gaskets and seals for its resistance to oil, ozone, heat, weather, sunlight and aging. It does not support combustion and resists abrasion and cutting. The temperature range of this material can vary from - 55 to 90C. Shore A hardness: The relative hardness of elastic materials such as rubber or soft plastics can be determined with an instrument called a Shore A durometer. If the indenter completely penetrates the sample, a reading of 0 is obtained, and if no penetration occurs, a reading of 100 results. The reading is dimensionless. silicone rubber: Rubber made from silicone elastomers and characterized by its retention of flexibility, resilience and tensile strength over a wide temperature range. terpolymer: A polymer additive used in PVC compounds as an 'impact modifier'. thermoplastic: A plastic that can be reheated and reformed. thermoplastic elastomer: A very flexible type of thermoplastic that has the properties of natural rubber. TPE: Thermoplastic elastomer. united mm: The sum of the length and width (height) of any glazing lite, measured in millimeters.

3.02 STANDARDS AND PERFORMANCE A. Watertight and airtight installation of each piece of exterior glass is required. Each installation must withstand normal regional temperature changes, wind loading, impact loading (for operating sash and doors) without failure of any kind including loss or breakage of glass, failure of sealants or gaskets to remain watertight and airtight, deterioration of glazing materials and other defects in the work. Glazing channel dimensions as shown are intended to provide for necessary minimum bite on the glass, minimum edge clearance and adequate sealant thicknesses, with reasonable tolerances. The glazier is responsible for correct glass size for each opening, within the tolerances and necessary dimensions established. The Contractor shall protect glass from edge and surface damage during handling, installation, and subsequent construction. The Contractor shall inspect each piece of glass immediately before installation, and

eliminate any, which have observable edge damage or face imperfections. 3.03 PREPARATION FOR GLAZING A. For sealant glazing, glazing surfaces shall be prepared in accordance with FGMA Sealant Manual. Glass sizes shall be determined from actual field measurements of frames to receive glass. The Contractor shall make proper allowances for expansion, contraction and movement and provide for proper bedding and bite. The Contractor shall clean the glazing channel, or other framing members to receive glass of all obstructions and deleterious substances which might impair the work, immediately before glazing. Coatings which are not firmly bonded to the substrate or which may cause adhesion failure or interfere with bond of sealant shall be removed. Lacquer shall be removed from metal surfaces wherever elastomeric sealants are to be applied. The Contractor shall clean contact surfaces with solvent and wipe dry. Porous glazing channels or recesses shall be sealed with substrate compatible primer or sealer. The Contractor shall prime surfaces scheduled to receive sealants, as determined by pre-construction sealant-substrate testing. The Contractor shall verify that sealant used is compatible with the glazing tape compound.

3.04 INSTALLATION - GENERAL A. The Contractor shall: 1. Employ glaziers who have had previous experience with the materials and systems being applied. Use tools and equipment recommended by the glass manufacturer. Set glazing without bending, twisting, or forcing of units. Ascertain that glass is not allowed to rest on or contact any framing member. Ensure that glazing materials from different sources shall not be used in the same joint system unless the manufacturer of each material has stated in writing that this material is fully compatible with the other material. Use masking tape or other suitable protection to limit coverage of glazing materials to the surfaces intended for sealant. Comply with manufacturer's recommendations for glass, sealants, gaskets and other glazing materials, except where more stringent requirements are indicated, including those of referenced standards.

Use beads or stops furnished with the items to be glazed to secure the glass in place. Locate setting blocks at the quarter points of sill rabbet, but no closer than 150 mm to corners of glass. Use blocks of proper size to support the glass in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation. Set blocks in thin course of the heel-bead compound, if any. Provide edge blocking where indicated or needed to prevent glass lites from moving sideways in glazing channel, as recommended in writing by glass manufacturer, and according to requirements in referenced glazing publications. Provide spacers of proper size for all glass sizes larger than 1270 mm, to separate glass from stops, except where continuous gaskets or tape are required. Locate spacers 914 mm on center maximum inside and out, with a minimum of 2 spacers per edge of glass. Spacers shall be located directly opposite each other on both inside and outside faces of glass. Provide 3 mm minimum bite of spacers on glass and use thickness equal to sealant or compound thickness shown, except with sealant tape use thickness slightly less than final compressed thickness of tape. Edge pressures stipulated by glass manufacturers for installing glass lites shall not be exceeded. Force sealants into channel to eliminate voids and to ensure complete "wetting" or bond of sealant to glass and channel surfaces. Voids and Filler Rods a) Prevent exudation of sealant or compound by forming voids or installing filler rods in the channel at the heel of jambs and head (do not leave voids in the sill channels) except as otherwise indicated, depending on light size, thickness and type of glass, and complying with manufacturer's recommendations.

Where wedge-shaped gaskets are driven into one side of the channel to pressurize the sealant or gasket on the opposite side, provide adequate anchorage to ensure that gasket will not "walk" out when subjected to dynamic movement. Anchor gasket to stop with matching ribs, or by proven adhesives, including embedment of gasket tail in cured heel bead. Provide for a minimum of 9 mm bite of rabbet on glass at all 4 edges. Do not use unshimmed glazing tapes. Lap ends of glazing tape shall be butted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation. Tool exposed surfaces of glazing materials. Install exposed tapes and gaskets with a slight protrusion above stops in the final compressed condition. Clean excess sealant or compound from glass and framing members immediately after application, using solvents or cleaners recommended by the manufacturer. Be sure that installation does not block weepholes.

Do not apply tape of any kind. To indicate the presence of glass in hazardous locations, signs or notices shall be placed. Glazing materials shall be protected from contact with contaminating substances resulting from construction operations, including weld splatter, sand blasting, fire proofing concrete spatter, paint, etc. Glazing adjacent to or below exterior concrete and other masonry surfaces shall be examined at frequent intervals during construction, but not less than once a month, for build-up of dirt, scum, alkaline deposits, or stains. If, despite such protection, contaminating substances do come into contact with glazing materials, they shall be removed immediately, in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. The Contractor shall maintain glass in a reasonably clean condition during construction, so that it will not be damaged by corrosive action and will not contribute (by wash-off) to the deterioration of glazing materials and other work. All glazing shall be washed and polished on both exposed surfaces in each area of project not more than 4 days before date scheduled for inspections that establish date of Substantial Completion. The Contractor shall comply with instructions and recommendations of the glass manufacturer and glazing materials manufacturer for cleaning in each case.
