INSTALLATION Install windows into prepared openings, prepared by others, in strict accordance with approved shop drawings. Set units plumb, level and true to line, without warp or rack of frames or ventilators. Anchor units securely to surrounding construction with approved fasteners. The exterior joints between the windows, trim and mullions shall be properly sealed watertight with an approved sealant and neatly pointed. Attach ventilator hardware and adjust ventilators to operate smoothly, free from twist and be weathertight when closed prior to field glazing. Ventilators remain closed and locked during glazing. The field painting of windows must be performed prior to installation and shall include paint coverage to all surfaces of the frame and ventilator. On factory finished windows, repair any abraded area of the factory finish. Cleaning of masonry and other exterior or interior surfaces prior to installation is recommended. The General Contractor is responsible for protection of the windows and related materials during storage on the job and during and after installation, and for any protection required due to cleaning of adjacent materials. Window installer shall leave the surfaces clean and the General Contractor shall be responsible for final cleaning. © The Steel Window Institute (2006) Contents are the property of the Steel Window Institute, its members or others who have licensed the information.
