Orange County Southern Expansion Smith Sinnett / 2017027 <br />Phase 1 – Seymour Center Renovation and Addition Orange County <br /> <br />GLAZING 08 80 00 - 9 <br />H. Provide edge blocking where indicated or needed to prevent glass lites from moving sideways in glazing <br />channel, as recommended in writing by glass manufacturer and according to requirements in referenced <br />glazing publications. <br />I. Set glass lites in each series with uniform pattern, draw, bow, and similar characteristics. <br />3.4 TAPE GLAZING <br />A. Position tapes on fixed stops so that, when compressed by glass, their exposed edges are flush with or <br />protrude slightly above sightline of stops. <br />B. Install tapes continuously, but not necessarily in one continuous length. Do not stretch tapes to make <br />them fit opening. <br />C. Cover vertical framing joints by applying tapes to heads and sills first and then to jambs. Cover <br />horizontal framing joints by applying tapes to jambs and then to heads and sills. <br />D. Place joints in tapes at corners of opening with adjoining lengths butted together, not lapped. Seal joints <br />in tapes with compatible sealant approved by tape manufacturer. <br />E. Do not remove release paper from tape until just before each glazing unit is installed. <br />F. Center glass lites in openings on setting blocks and press firmly against tape by inserting dense <br />compression gaskets formed and installed to lock in place against faces of removable stops. Start gasket <br />applications at corners and work toward centers of openings. <br />G. Apply cap bead of elastomeric sealant over exposed edge of tape. <br />3.5 GASKET GLAZING (DRY) <br />A. Fabricate compression gaskets in lengths recommended by gasket manufacturer to fit openings exactly, <br />with allowance for stretch during installation. <br />B. Insert soft compression gasket between glass and frame or fixed stop so it is securely in place with joints <br />miter cut and bonded together at corners. <br />C. Center glass lites in openings on setting blocks and press firmly against soft compression gasket by <br />inserting dense compression gaskets formed and installed to lock in place against faces of removable <br />stops. Start gasket applications at corners and work toward centers of openings. Compress gaskets to <br />produce a weathertight seal without developing bending stresses in glass. Seal gasket joints with sealant <br />recommended by gasket manufacturer. <br />D. Install gaskets so they protrude past face of glazing stops. <br />3.6 SEALANT GLAZING (WET) <br />A. Install continuous spacers, or spacers combined with cylindrical sealant backing, between glass lites and <br />glazing stops to maintain glass face clearances and to prevent sealant from extruding into glass channel <br />and blocking weep systems until sealants cure. Secure spacers or spacers and backings in place and in <br />position to control depth of installed sealant relative to edge clearance for optimum sealant performance. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: ECCAC5A0-6CC8-4B37-8AD3-89D69F0AE1AE
