GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MC600 is a new stick build curtain wall system suitable for low to high rise installations in commercialbuildings.
Designed for quick and easy workshop preparation and on-site installation, MC600 is a cost effective systemwhich offers a high quality finish.
PROFILE SPECIFICATION
The sections are constructed of aluminium alloy extrusion to BS EN 755-9 and BS EN 12020, extruded from6060 T6 alloy.
The aluminium alloy extrusion is pre-treated and finished either:-
a) Anodised to BS 3987: 1987, grade AA25 to a natural self colour.
b) Polyester powder organic coating to BS 6496.
GENERAL MANUFACTURING
After careful inspection of the extrusions, all visible areas shall be taped using our recommended protectivetape to help protect against any scratches.
Sections are cut with accurate 90° ends using Tungsten Carbide Tipped Saw Blades, operating atapproximately 3000 rpm. The isolator MC601 can be inserted into the mullions/transoms prior to cutting.
The mullions are marked and drilled using the recommended drill jig ACMC695.
Transoms are drilled using recommended drill jig ACMC691 in preparation for the fixing bracket ACMC600which is secured into position using ACET060 stainless steel self tapping screws.
On polyester powder coated finishes, great care should be taken to avoid getting gap sealer on visiblesurfaces and should be removed as soon as possible with a clean cloth.
Care should be exercised when using products not supplied by Smart Systems Ltd as no responsibility canbe accepted.

DRAINAGE
As with all dry glazed systems, it is recommended that the system is adequately drained and ventilated.Refer to drainage details in manual, if in doubt ask the Technical Department.
WORKSHOP MANUFACTURING INFORMATION
After careful inspection of the extrusions, all visible areas shall be taped using our recommended protectivetape to help protect against any scratches.
Sections are cut with accurate 90° ends using Tungsten Carbide Tipped Saw Blades, operating atapproximately 3000 rpm. The isolator MC601 can be inserted into the mullions/transoms prior to cutting.
The mullions are marked to show the centre line of the transoms and are drilled with a 4mm dia. drill bit forthe ACMC600 brackets and a 6.5mm dia. drill bit for the ACMC650 anti-rotation spring pin using therecommended drill jig ACMC695.
Transoms are drilled with a 3mm dia. drill bit using recommended drill jig ACMC691 in preparation for thefixing bracket ACMC600 which is secured into position using ACET060 stainless steel self tapping screws.The ACMC650 anti-rotation spring pin is slid into the position and secured by tightening the grub screw.
All gaskets and transom end pads may be fitted in the workshop to save time on site.
ON SITE ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
After mullions are secured into position, the transoms are inserted between the vertical members until theACMC650 anti-rotation spring pin engages into the predrilled hole. Care should be taken to ensure thetransom end pads are not dislodged at this point. The transom is secured into position via the ACMC600brackets using PUA028 stainless steel self tapping screws.
Moulded corners shall be fitted between the gaskets and sealed using ACMX09830 EPDM adhesive.ACMC630 glazing supports shall be positioned in preparation for the double glazed units.
GLAZING
Double glazed units shall be positioned on plastic packers on ACMC630 glazing supports with equaldistance on all sides.
Units are secured in position using DK154 with ACDK066 fixing plate held in place by ACMC610 Hex HeadSelf Tapping Fixing Screw taking care not to exceed torque of 4Nm at the recommended speed of1500-1800rpm. Stitch plates may be used to secure the units temporarily until all units are in position.Pressure plates shall be fitted at the top first, working downwards to help avoid uneven fixings.
The cover caps are clipped in position using a rubber mallet taking care to strike the corners only to avoiddenting the section. Vertical cover caps are fitted first followed by the horizontal caps.

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
The MC600 Curtain Walling System may be installed as a stick,ladder frame or as a screwed system.
Stick build is a fast method of fabrication and installation. TheCurtain Wall is taken to site in stick form and the mullions arefirst to be assembled - usually from the centre outwards. Thetransoms are then fitted from the front to form the Curtain Wall.Spring Pins (ACMC650) fixed to the transoms, locate inpre-drilled holes in the mullions and the transoms are thensecured using a face mounted bracket - ACMC600.
Where ladder frames are used, Shear Blocks(ACMC602/ACMC603) are fixed to the mullions in the factoryand 'ladders' built and taken to site ready assembled. Theladders are connected together on site by placing open sidedtransoms (MC615/MC617) over the shear blocks, fixing fromthe front through the transom face, into the shear blockscrewports. A clip plate (MC650/MC651) is then pushed intoplace to close the transom.
A final method of construction is to use two partmullions/transoms (MC615/MC650 and/or MC617/MC651)and fix using screws through the mullions into screwportswithin the transoms.

The selection of suitable mullions andtransoms should be based on the design windload of the structure based on criteria includinglocation; exposure; average wind speeds etc.The following pages will assist with theselection of suitable mullions and transoms.For specific details regarding wind loadinglimitations or further advice, please contact ourTechnical Department.

For single span there are two possiblearrangements of these fixings for a singlestorey mullion. The top hungarrangement is more common but thebottom supported arrangement may beused, particularly for low riseconstruction.
Where mullions span more than onestorey, restraint fixings are usuallyprovided at intermediate floors. Byproviding mid point tie back restraints therequired mullion strength may bereduced.

Brackets form the link between the curtain wall and thestructure. These are critically important to the safety andserviceability of the wall.
Brackets need to be designed to transfer all the loads from thecurtain wall to the structure safely, whilst accommodate tolerancesand movement. The screen will depend on the availability of asuitable support structure (tie back positions).
The loads will vary on the size of the screen and the location of thebuilding. Brackets need to be designed to interface with a suitablesupport structure/building frame. Detail drawings will be required toidentify the location and position of any brackets.
Dead loads - SupportThe weight of the curtain wall needs to be transferred to thestructure.
Live Loads - RestraintWind loads in the form of negative (suction) or positive pressuresare usually the dominant load case.
Brackets and fixings on curtain wall are structural and must bedesigned to relevant structural codes.BS8118. Structural Use of Aluminium

To prevent noise and air permeability (which may carry moisture), it is good practice to adjust the slotposition to ensure the slot in cover cap is not aligned with the drainage slot in the Pressure Plate.Place additional slot in mid point of Cover Cap if the Transom length is greater than 1800mm.
