GENERAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES1. These instructions cover typical product application, fabrication, installation and standardconditions and are general in nature. They provide useful guidelines, but the final drawings may includeadditional details specific to this project. Any conflict or discrepancies must be clarified prior toexecution.

2. Materials stored at the job site must be kept in a safe place protected from possible damage byother trades. Stack with adequate separation so materials will not rub together, and store off theground. Cardboard or paper wrapped materials must be kept dry. Check arriving materials for quantityand keep record of where various materials are stored.

3. All field welding must be done in accordance with AISC guidelines. All aluminum and glass shouldbe shielded from field welding to avoid damage from weld splatter. Results will be unsightly and may bestructurally unsound. Advise general contractor and other trades accordingly.

4. Coordinate protection of installed work with general contractor and/or other trades.

5. Coordinate sequence of other trades which affect framing installation with the general contractor(e.g. fire proofing, back up walls, partitions, ceilings, mechanical ducts, HVAC, etc.).6. General contractor should furnish and guarantee bench marks, offset lines and openingdimensions. These items should be checked for accuracy before proceeding with erection. Makecertain that all adjacent substrate construction is in accordance with the contract documents and/orapproved shop drawings. If not, notify the general contractor in writing before proceeding withinstallation because this could constitute acceptance of adjacent substrate construction by others.7. Isolate all aluminum to be placed directly in contact with masonry or other incompatible materialswith a heavy coat of zinc chromate or bituminous paint.

8. Sealant selection is the responsibility of the erector, installer and/or glazing contractor and must beapproved by the sealant manufacturer with regard to application and compatibility for its intended use. All sealants must be used in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions and applied only bytrained personnel to surfaces that have been properly prepared.

9. Sealant must be compatible with all materials with which they have contact, including other sealantsurfaces. Consult sealant manufacturer for recommendations relative to shelf life, compatibility,cleaning of substrate, priming, tooling adhesion, etc.

10. Drainage gutters and weep holes must be kept clean at all times. Tubelite will not acceptresponsibility for improper drainage as a result of clogged gutters and weep holes.

11. This product requires clearances at head, sill and jambs to allow for thermal expansion andcontraction. Refer to final distribution drawings for joint sizes. Joints smaller than may be subject tofailure. Consult your sealant supplier.

12. All materials are to be installed plumb, level and true with regard to established bench marks andcolumn center lines established by the general contractor and checked by the erector, installer and/orglazing contractor.

13. Cleaning of exposed aluminum surfaces should be done per AAMA recommendations.

ELEVATION DETAILS



FRAME FABRICATIONStep 1: Determine Frame Size

Determine Width

Check that the opening issquare and plumb at both ends.Units must be installed in a truerectangle.

Measure the width of theopening at the top, middle andbottom. Select the smallest dimensionmeasured. To determine the framewidth to be used, subtract aminimum of 1/2 from the smallestmeasured width, to allow aminimum of 1/4 at each jamb forshimming and caulking. Allow a larger clearance ifnecessary to accommodatebuilding tolerances, anout-of-square opening, anticipatedthermal expansion within the unitand/or as required by project. Expansion mullions must beused every 16' to 20'. Thedimension of the expansionmullion assembly should beadjusted based on expected highand low service temperatures.Sightlines will be reduced slightlywhen installed in hot weather andincreased when installed in coldweather.

1/4" min. 1/4" min.



Determine Height

Measure the height of the openingin several places along the entirelength of the opening. To determine the frame height tobe used, select the smallestdimension measured and subtract1 1/8 to allow a minimum of 1/4" atsill and 1/4" head for shimming andcaulking. Allow a larger clearance ifnecessary to accommodate buildingtolerances, an out-of-squareopening, anticipated thermalexpansion within the unit and/or asrequired by project.

Step 2: Cut Extruded Sill Flashing to Size

Field cut extruded sill flashing to frame width + 1/8" determined in Step #1 (roughopening minus clearances). If the installation includes an entrance, flashing shouldbutt against back of door jamb (no clearance). At the quarter points of each light, drill 7/32" diameter weep holes in the extrudedsill flashing, as shown in Figure 1. Install a weep baffle in the gutter of the flashing behind each weep hole.

Step 3: Cut Mullions to Size

Verticals should be frame height found in Step #1 (rough opening height minusclearances). Vertical framing members run through. Cut horizontal framing members to the daylight opening (the distance betweenverticals).

Step 5: Split Frame Clip (shear block) For the shear block application, the P1134 must be split. Break apart the P1134 frame clip as shown below.

P1134

Step 4: Cut Glazing Adapters to Length (if necessary) For 1/4" or 1/2" glass, glazing adapters (E14036 for 1/4", E14061 for 1/2") will beneeded in the glazing pockets of the vertical and horizontal framing members thatsurround the lights to be glazed. For verticals, glazing adapters should be 3/32" longer than the vertical daylightopening. For horizontals, the length of the glazing adapters should equal the horizontal DLO.



Step 6: Drill Holes in Vertical Framing Members (screw spline) For screw spline assembly, screws are driven directly through holes in the verticalmembers into holes in the horizontal members. Drill .201" diameter holes in the vertical framing members using a P1149 drillfixture, as shown below.

FRAME INSTALLATIONStep 9: Splice the SillFlashing WhereRequired

If there is an entrance,it should be installedfirst, taking care to locateit accurately within theopening. Properly prepare floorsurface asrecommended bysealant manufacturer. Flashing longer than24' in length should bespliced as shown inFigure 2. Splices arerecommended for every16-20' of run. Allow 3/8"to 1/2" for the width ofthe splice. Set splice in a bed ofsealant at thepredetermined location. Properly shim flashingoff floor to allow forsealant joint width (referto sealant manufacturerrecommended joint widthbased on expectedexpansion/contraction ofsill flashing). Place and anchor thesill in the opening. Thegap between any twopieces of sill should be aminimum 3/8" to 1/2"wide, depending on thelength of flashing used. Apply sealant betweenthe two pieces offlashing spanning thesplice joint as seen inFigure 4.

Step 10: Attach End Dam to Sill Flashing at Structure

At a wall, attach an end dam (P1154) to the end of the sill flashing with two S196screws and seal the sill to the end dam as shown in Figure 5. Place shims (not by Tubelite) under flashing as needed to support and level it. Apply sealant along the back leg of the flashing from end to end, straight across anysplice joint, as shown in Figure 5. Apply sealant in the front lip of the flashing to provide a complete seal between theflashing and the sill. End dam must be completely sealed on all sides.

Step 11: Seal and Anchor the Sill Flashing

At jamb conditions, butt the sill flashing up against the back of the door jamb and sealthe sill to the back of the entrance frame as shown in Figure 6. Place shims (not byTubelite) under the flashing as needed to support the sill and level it. Fill the jamb pocket cavity completely with sealant. Drill holes for anchor bolts through the sill and into the masonry, and secure the sill withbolts, as specified in the approved shop drawings. Do not drill through thermal barrier. Cap seal all anchor bolts with sealant. Before the fastener is inserted, force sealant intothe hole for the sill perimeter fastener to ensure that the hole through the sill is sealed. Do not block weep holes of sill flashing. Fill the vertical glazing pockets with sealant to divert any water onto the sill.

Step 12: Secure Frame Clips to Verticals (shear block) Attach frame clips to verticals with S009 screws as shown below. Apply sealant to the perimeter of the frame clips. Apply sealant to contact edge of the horizontal. Slide horizontals onto frame clips as shown below. Match drill tap holes in the frameclips using holes in the horizontals as guides and secure horizontals to frame clips withapplicable screws. Apply sealant to the heads of the screws which secure the horizontals to the frameclips.

Step 14: Install Assembled Units (screw spline) Apply sealant to end of horizontal. Install the assembled units beginning at the entrance, and working toward thejambs. If there is no entrance, begin at one jamb and work toward the other. In the case of smaller units, the last two may need to be snapped together and thenpivoted into position together.

Step 15: Attach Frame to Structure

Install shims at head and jambs and ensure frames are installed plumb and true. Use a snap-in filler for open-back anchor points (P1148) to provide back-up supportfor shimming and P4553 between anchor points as shown below.

Step 16: Install Water Diverters

Use a solvent and a clean cloth to clean the surfaces of the horizontals where waterdiverters will be installed. Also clean the vertical reglets on both sides to at least 1above the gasket reglets on the horizontal member. When the surfaces are dry, butter the underside of the P1135 water diverter withsealant and press the diverter to the horizontal in the glazing pocket as shown inFigure 7. Pump sealant into both vertical gasket reglets, and seal the edges of the diverter onall sides EXCEPT the edge facing the pocket as shown. You must avoid gettingsealant in this area in order to allow the system to drain. Seal the joint between the vertical and horizontal members from the diverter to thetop of the horizontal gasket reglet. Cap seal screw heads and embed water diverter in sealant.

Figure 7: Install a water diverter on the surface of the horizontals. Seal the reglets and the water diverteron all edges except the one facing the vertical pocket.

All glazing pockets are 1 7/16 wide, and will accept glazing up to and including 1 1/8thick, dry glazed. Glass dimensions should not exceed daylight opening (D.L.O.) plus 3/4.This formula does not take into account out-of-square openings or glass tolerances.Consult the glass manufacturer before determining final glass sizes.

GLAZING INSTALLATION

When cutting gaskets, add 1/16 to 1/8 per foot of daylight opening for shrinkage(an eighth of an inch per foot is approximately 1%) as shown in Figure 8. Open,unsealed gasket joints are a potential source of leakage and water damage to interiorfinishes. When installing gaskets, always begin at each end of the gasket and work towardthe center. Do not stretch the gasket or it will return to its original form, creating gapsat the gasket intersections. In areas with seismic concerns, anti-walk blocks (not by Tubelite) arerecommended.

Figure 8: When cutting gaskets, add 1/16" to 1/8" per foot of daylight opening for shrinkage.



Step 17: Cut andInstall InteriorGaskets

Cut the interiorgaskets to DLO + 1". Install gaskets on theside of frame oppositeglass stop first. Apply sealant in thegasket reglet for 1from the intersectionof the verticalmember. Install the interiorvertical gaskets, ateach end and worktoward the center,firmly pushing thegasket in place, asshown in Figure 9. Apply sealant in thegasket reglet for 1from the intersectionof the horizontalmember. Install the interiorhorizontal gaskets ateach end and worktoward the center,firmly pushing thegasket in place asshown in Figure 10. Apply sealant at theintersection to marrythe vertical andhorizontal glazinggaskets as shown inFigure 11. Tool allsealant to present aneat, cleanappearance.

Step 21: Seal Perimeter of Installation

The primary, critical seal location is at the interior leg of the framing members,including the interior leg at the bottom of the sill flashing. Insert backer rod into the gap between the frame and the building substrate on top,sides and bottom of the installation as shown in Figure 15. Apply sealant to fill the void. Tool the sealant smooth.
