2.02 PERFORMANCE / DESIGN CRITERIA
NOTE: Select one of the five Performance Criteria paragraphs below for different Sill and Opening type, deleting paragraphs not chosen.
Choose the Performance Sill, Low Profile Saddle Sill, and Low Profile Saddle Sill with UniverSILL® for Inward or Outward Opening Units.
Weeps, when provided, are to be drilled in the field by the installer to manufacturer’s requirements.
Air infiltration and water penetration testing results are only applicable if the unit matches the tested panel and unit size, direction of opening and type of sill. Results shown only apply to odd-odd, odd-even, odd-frame and even- frame configurations and NOT to even-even configurations. Even higher ratings may be possible for odd-odd and odd-frame configurations.
Structural load testing results are only applicable for the test unit size and type of locking and rods. Comparative analysis charts published by the manufacturer shows which panel sizes, if any, meets the structural loading design pressures specifically required for the project.
Check for limitations on the use of these charts in the jurisdiction of the project.
Forced entry testing results are only applicable for the test unit type of locking.
Check for requirements in the jurisdiction of the project.

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 should be 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  equirement of 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 Door system in accordance with the Drawings, approved submittals, 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 Door 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.
3.04 CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A. Keep units closed and protect Folding Glass Door installation against damage from construction activities.
B. Remove protective coatings and use manufacturer recommended methods to clean exposed surfaces.
