GLAZING <br />Section 08800 <br />15-1207 <br />PART 3 - EXECUTION <br />3.01 INSPECTION <br />A. Inspect all sash, frames and surrounds to be glazed, and notify Contractor of any defects, <br />improper materials or workmanship or other conditions which will affect satisfactory <br />installation of glass. Do not proceed with glazing until such conditions have been corrected. <br />Absence of notification, or beginning of glazing, shall constitute acceptance of all previously <br />placed related work executed by other trades; later claims of defects in such work will not <br />relieve glazier from responsibility to produce satisfactory work. Following work will be <br />executed by other trades, but before starting glazing work, verify compliance with stated <br />requirements: <br />1. That sash and frames are firmly anchored in proper position, plumb and square within <br />1/8 inch of nominal dimensions on Drawings and approved Shop Drawings. <br />2. That all rivet, screws, bolts or nail heads, welding fillets and other projections are <br />removed from glazing rabbets to provide required clearances. <br />3. That all corners and fabrication intersections are sealed and sash and frames are <br />weather -tight. <br />3.02 PREPARATION <br />A. Sizes of glass indicated on Drawings are approximate only; determine actual sizes required <br />by measuring frames to receive glass at Project Site. Dimensions for glass and glass <br />holding surrounds shall be coordinated to provide required minimum clearances. <br />B. Preparation of Glass and Rabbets: Clean sealing surfaces, including removal of protective <br />coating from aluminum, at perimeter of glass and sealing surfaces of rabbets of stop beads <br />before applying any glazing sealant or tape. Use only approved solvents and cleaning <br />agents recommended by the compound manufacturer. <br />3.03 INSTALLATION OF GLASS <br />A. Glazing Fixed Glass Frames with Removable Stops: <br />1. Center glass in glazing rabbet to maintain required Clearances at perimeter on all four <br />sides. Maintain centered position of glass in rabbet and provide glazing tape of <br />required thickness (1/16 inch minimum) Locate setting blocks 1/4 way in from each <br />end of glass. <br />2. Apply butyl tape to each glazing leg with evenly applied pressure, and place setting <br />blocks and spacer shims as required. Press glass into position and secure in place by <br />application of removable stops. <br />3. Trim excess tape flush to provide clean sight line. Apply sealant to result in assembly <br />that is completely air and water tight and neat in appearance. <br />B. Provide safety glazing at all hazardous locations required per CBC 2406. <br />3.04 ADJUSTING AND CLEANING <br />A. Upon completing of glazing, thoroughly clean all glass surfaces, correct all imperfections and <br />replace all damaged glass, remove all labels immediately thereafter. <br />4 <br />
