PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Examination and Acceptance of Conditions per Section 01 70 00 and as follows:

1. Carefully examine rough openings with Installer present, for compliance with requirements affecting Work performance.
   a. Examine surfaces of openings and verify dimensions; verify rough openings are level, plumb, and square with no unevenness, bowing, or bumps on the floor; and other conditions as required by the manufacturer for readiness to receive Work.
   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 NanaWall, 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.

2. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.02 INSTALLATION
A. General: Install Folding Glass Storefront system in accordance with the Drawings, approved submittals, Dade County NOA, manufacturer’s recommendations and installation instructions, and as follows:

1. Properly flash, waterproof and seal around opening perimeter.
2. Securely attach anchorage devices to rigidly fit frame in place, level, straight, plumb, and square. Install frame in proper elevation, plane and location, and in proper alignment with other work.
3. When lower track is designed to drain, provide connections to allow for drainage.
4. Install panels, handles, lockset, screens, and other accessories in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions.

3.03 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Field Tests and Inspections per Section 01 40 00 of the following:

1. Verify the Folding Glass Storefront system operates and functions properly. Adjust hardware for proper operation.

B. Non-Conforming Work: Repair or replace non-conforming work as directed by the Architect; see General and Supplementary Conditions, and Division 01, General Requirements.
