PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Examination and Acceptance of Conditions per Section 01 70 00 and as
follows:
-
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. -
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.02 INSTALLATION
