Anchoring Cement: Factory- packaged, nonshrink, nonstaining, hydraulic- controlled expansion <br />cement formulation for mixing with water at Project site to create pourable anchoring, patching, <br />and grouting compound. <br />Water- Resistant Product: At exterior locations provide formulation that is resistant to <br />erosion from water exposure without needing protection by a sealer or waterproof coating <br />and that is recommended by manufacturer for exterior use. <br />2.5 FABRICATION <br />A. General: Fabricate railings to comply with requirements indicated for design, dimensions, <br />member sizes and spacing, details, finish, and anchorage, but not less than that required to <br />support structural loads. <br />B. Assemble railings in the shop to greatest extent possible to minimize field splicing and <br />assembly. Disassemble units only as necessary for shipping and handling limitations. Clearly <br />mark units for reassembly and coordinated installation. Use connections that maintain <br />structural value of joined pieces. <br />C. Cut, drill, and punch metals cleanly and accurately. Remove burrs and ease edges to a radius of <br />approximately 1/32 inch (1 mm) unless otherwise indicated. Remove sharp or rough areas on <br />exposed surfaces. <br />D. Form work true to line and level with accurate angles and surfaces. <br />E. Fabricate connections that will be exposed to weather in a manner to exclude water. Provide <br />weep holes where water may accumulate. <br />F. Cut, reinforce, drill, and tap as indicated to receive finish hardware, screws, and similar items. <br />G. Connections: Fabricate railings with welded connections unless otherwise indicated. <br />H. Welded Connections: Cope components at connections to provide close fit, or use fittings <br />designed for this purpose. Weld all around at connections, including at fittings. <br />1. Use materials and methods that minimize distortion and develop strength and corrosion <br />resistance of base metals. <br />2. Obtain fusion without undercut or overlap. <br />3. Remove flux immediately. <br />4. At exposed connections, finish exposed surfaces smooth and blended so no roughness <br />shows after finishing and welded surface matches contours of adjoining surfaces. <br />I. Welded Connections for Aluminum Pipe: Fabricate railings to interconnect members with <br />concealed internal welds that eliminate surface grinding, using manufacturer's standard system <br />of sleeve and socket fittings. <br />PIPE AND TUBE RAILINGS 055213 -5 <br />
