Round 1 Bowling and Amusement 12/09/2024 Paradigm Design <br />Main Place Mall Expansion Grand Rapids, MI <br />Santa Ana, California <br />Project #2309147GR <br />GLAZING 08 8000 - 9 <br />ed. 2024-02-20 <br />H.Set glass lites in each series with uniform pattern, draw, bow, and similar characteristics. <br />I.Set glass lites with proper orientation so that coatings face exterior or interior as specified. <br />J.Where wedge-shaped gaskets are driven into one side of channel to pressurize sealant or gasket on <br />opposite side, provide adequate anchorage so gasket cannot walk out when installation is subjected to <br />movement. <br />K.Square cut wedge-shaped gaskets at corners and install gaskets in a manner recommended by gasket <br />manufacturer to prevent corners from pulling away; seal corner joints and butt joints with sealant <br />recommended in writing by gasket manufacturer. <br />3.4 TAPE GLAZING <br />A.Position tapes on fixed stops so that, when compressed by glass, their exposed edges are flush with or <br />protrude slightly above sightline of stops. <br />B.Install tapes continuously, but not necessarily in one continuous length. Do not stretch tapes to make <br />them fit opening. <br />C.Cover vertical framing joints by applying tapes to heads and sills first, then to jambs. Cover horizontal <br />framing joints by applying tapes to jambs, then to heads and sills. <br />D.Place joints in tapes at corners of opening with adjoining lengths butted together, not lapped. Seal <br />joints in tapes with compatible sealant approved by tape manufacturer. <br />E.Do not remove release paper from tape until right before each glazing unit is installed. <br />F.Apply heel bead of elastomeric sealant. <br />G.Center glass lites in openings on setting blocks, and press firmly against tape by inserting dense <br />compression gaskets formed and installed to lock in place against faces of removable stops. Start <br />gasket applications at corners and work toward centers of openings. <br />H.Apply cap bead of elastomeric sealant over exposed edge of tape. <br />3.5 GASKET GLAZING (DRY) <br />A.Cut compression gaskets to lengths recommended by gasket manufacturer to fit openings exactly, <br />with allowance for stretch during installation. <br />B.Insert soft compression gasket between glass and frame or fixed stop so it is securely in place with <br />joints miter cut and bonded together at corners. <br />C.Installation with Drive-in Wedge Gaskets: Center glass lites in openings on setting blocks, and press <br />firmly against soft compression gasket by inserting dense compression gaskets formed and installed to <br />lock in place against faces of removable stops. Start gasket applications at corners
