b. Verify structural integrity of the header for deflection with live and dead loads limited to the lesser of L/720 of the span or 1/4 inch (6 mm). Provide structural support for lateral loads, and both wind load and eccentric load when the panels are stacked open.
NOTE: Prior to installing Nana Wall, it is recommended that all building dead loads be applied to the header. Allow a reasonable amount of time for the dead load’s effect on the header; only then can the building’s live load be used to meet the above requirements of L/720 or 1/4 inch (6 mm). If this is not done, both dead and live loads need to be considered. -
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
