3 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES: 1. These instructions cover typical product application, fabrication, installation and standard conditions and are general in nature. They provide useful guidelines, but the final drawings may include additional details specific to this project. Any conflict or discrepancies must be clarified prior to execution. 2. Materials stored at the job site must be kept in a safe place protected from possible damage by other trades. Stack with adequate separation so materials will not rub together, and store off the ground. Cardboard or paper wrapped materials must be kept dry. Check arriving materials for quantity and keep record of where various materials are stored. 3. All field welding must be done in accordance with AISC guidelines. All aluminum and glass should be shielded from field welding to avoid damage from weld splatter. Results will be unsightly and may be structurally unsound. Advise general contractor and other trades accordingly. 4. Coordinate protection of installed work with general contractor and/or other trades. 5. Coordinate sequence of other trades which affect framing installation with the general contractor (e.g. fire proofing, back up walls, partitions, ceilings, mechanical ducts, HVAC, etc.). 6. General contractor should furnish and guarantee bench marks, offset lines and opening dimensions. These items should be checked for accuracy before proceeding with erection. Make certain that all adjacent substrate construction is in accordance with the contract documents and/or approved shop drawings. If not, notify the general contractor in writing before proceeding with installation because this could constitute acceptance of adjacent substrate construction by others. 7. Isolate all aluminum to be placed directly in contact with masonry or other incompatible materials with a heavy coat of zinc chromate or bituminous paint. 8. Sealant selection is the responsibility of the erector, installer and/or glazing contractor and must be approved by the sealant manufacturer with regard to application and compatibility for its intended use. All sealants must be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer s instructions and applied only by trained personnel to surfaces that have been properly prepared. 9. Sealant must be compatible with all materials with which they have contact, including other sealant surfaces. Consult sealant manufacturer for recommendations relative to shelf life, compatibility, cleaning of substrate, priming, tooling adhesion, etc. 10. Drainage gutters and weep holes must be kept clean at all times. Tubelite will not accept responsibility for improper drainage as a result of clogged gutters and weep holes. 11. This product requires clearances at head, sill and jambs to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. Refer to final distribution drawings for joint sizes. Joints smaller than ¼ may be subject to failure. Consult your sealant supplier. 12. All materials are to be installed plumb, level and true with regard to established bench marks and column center lines established by the general contractor and checked by the erector, installer and/or glazing contractor. 13. Cleaning of exposed aluminum surfaces should be done per AAMA recommendations. 14. Due to varying perimeter conditions and job performance requirements, anchor fasteners are not specified in these instructions. For anchor fastening, refer to the shop drawings or consult the fastener supplier. 15. Check tubeliteinc.com for any updates on installation instructions.

15 FRAME FABRICATION Step 1: Determine Frame Size Determine Width Check that the opening is square and plumb at both ends. Units must be installed in a true rectangle. Measure the width of the opening at the top, middle and bottom. Select the smallest dimension measured. To determine the frame width to be used, subtract a minimum of 1 from the smallest measured width, to allow a minimum of 1/2 at each jamb for shimming and caulking. Allow a larger clearance if necessary to accommodate building tolerances, an out-of-square opening, anticipated thermal expansion within the unit and/or as required by shop drawings. 1/2" min. 1/2" min. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 15

16 Determine Height Measure the height of the opening in several places along the entire length of the opening. To determine the frame height to be used, select the smallest dimension measured and subtract 1 to allow a minimum of 1/2 at sill and head for shimming and caulking. Allow a larger clearance if necessary to accommodate building tolerances, an out-of-square opening, anticipated thermal expansion within the unit and/or as required by shop drawings. 1/2" min. 1/2" min. Step 2: Cut Mullions to Size Verticals should be frame height found in Step #1 (rough opening height minus clearances). Vertical framing members run through. Cut horizontal framing members to the daylight opening (the distance between verticals) minus 1/16" (1/32" per side). Step 3: Drill Holes in Vertical Framing Members For Shear Blocks In shear block assembly, the installer secures frame clips to the vertical members with screws, slides the horizontal members over the frame clips and secures the horizontal members to the frame clips with screws. Drill.201" diameter holes in the vertical framing members using P2091 drill fixture. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 16

17 Step 4: Drill Slots in Horizontal (concealed fasteners) Drill 0.201" x 0.281" slots in the side of the horizontal back member as shown in Figure 1 for a concealed fastener condition. Use drill fixture P2091 to locate holes. Only the top slot is needed in an open-back perimeter member..343" to center of slot Drill a pair of.201" x.281" slots Figure 1: Drill a pair of slots into the side of the horizontal back member. Step 4: Drill Holes in Horizontal (exposed fasteners) Drill 0.201" diameter holes into the top of the horizontal back member using a P2091 drill fixture as shown in Figure 2 for an exposed fastener condition. When horizontal expansion is not required, S192 fasteners may be used in countersunk holes instead of S191 fasteners. The dimension then changes from 7/8" to 29/32". 7/8".201" holes 7/8" 2-1/4" (4") 3-1/4" (5"), et. al Figure 2: Drill holes into the top of the horizontal back member. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 17

18 Step 5: Fasten Splice Sleeves in Lower Segments of Verticals (if needed) Consult the approved shop drawings to see what size fasteners to use when fastening the splice sleeves to the lower segments of the verticals. Drill and countersink four holes on both sides of the verticals (eight holes per vertical), in the locations shown on the approved shop drawings. The diameter of the holes should be appropriate for the fasteners being used. Slide a splice sleeve into the end of the vertical mullion where the holes were just drilled as shown in the two options below. The splice sleeve is 10" long. Half its length should be inside the mullion, and half should project out the end of the mullion.

19 Step 6: Cut Pressure Plates, Snap-on Face Covers and Snap-in Fillers to Length For vertical pressure plates and face covers not needing to be spliced, cut them to the same length as the corresponding vertical's (rough opening height minus 1/2") clearance at both top and bottom. If necessary to splice vertical pressure plates and face covers, allow a 3/8" gap for the splice joints. The splice in a vertical pressure plate should be 2" below the splice in the mullion, and the splice in a vertical snap-on cover should be 2" below the splice in the pressure plate as shown in Figure 3. Cut horizontal pressure plates to a minimum of the daylight opening minus 3/16" clearance at each end, or 3/8" less than the distance between verticals, and a maximum of DLO minus 1/16" clearance at each end. Cut horizontal face covers, and snap-in fillers for roll-over horizontals, to the same length as the corresponding horizontals (daylight opening). Splice sleeve Back member Face cover splice (2" lower than pressure plate splice) Pressure plate splice (2" lower than splice of back member) Figure 3: Splice face covers and pressure plates as necessary. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 19

20 Step 7: Drill Weep Holes in Horizontal Pressure Plate V-shaped notch 1/4" diameter weep holes Drill three 1/4" diameter weep holes per horizontal member -- one at its midpoint and one each halfway between the setting block and the mullion. Locate the holes in the v-shaped notch above the center line -- as shown in Figure 4. Make sure weep holes are not blocked. Pressure plates are factory punched on center as shown at right. Drill additional holes as required to ensure end holes are a minimum of 2" and maximum of 4" from vertical. Figure 4: Drill three weep holes in the horizontal pressure plate. Pressure Plate Anchor Hole Spacing M4TB63 (heavy pressure plate): 10" M4TB224 (typical pressure plate): 8" M4TB164 (splayed pressure plate): 10" M4TB96 (3" pressure plate): 10" M2411 (4" pressure plate): 10" M2289 (5" pressure plate): 10" 4" min. Step 8: Mill Weep Slot in Horizontal Snap-on Cover Mill a 1/4" by 1/2" weep slot along the bottom of the horizontal snap-on cover a maximum of 1" from the back of the cover, as shown in Figure 5. 1" max. 1/4" x 1/2" weep slot Figure 5: Mill a weep slot along the bottom of the horizontal snap-on cover. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 20

21 Step 9: Mill Sills and Heads to Clear Anchor Clips Where anchor clips would interfere with sills and heads, notches must be cut in the bottom of the sills and tops of the heads to provide clearance. The notch must not damage the vertical walls of the tube, but should remove the top or bottom of the tube leaving 1/8" on each side, to a depth of 3 1/16" from the end of the sill or head as shown in Figure 6. Mill sills and heads to clear anchor clips. This step is necessary for installations that use tubular back members for heads and sills, not for open-back perimeter members. 3 1/16" Width as required by head/sill anchor, leaving 1/8" on each side Figure 6: Mill the head and sill horizontals to fit in the anchor clips. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 21

22 Step 10: Horizontals in End Bay (roll-over horizontal) For the horizontals in the end bay, the masonry may prevent movement of the jamb to get the shear blocks into the horizontals. A few options are available. A roll-over horizontal may be used as shown in Figure 7, as no milling needs to be done to get the shear block into the horizontal. Figure 7: Install a roll-over horizontal in the end bay. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 22

23 Step 10: Horizontals in End Bay (tubular horizontal) The tubular horizontals for the end bay may need to be milled to be installed, as the masonry prevents movement of the jamb to get the frame clips into the horizontals. Mill the sill, head and intermediate horizontals in the final bay as shown in Figure 8. The vertical mullions may also be spread apart, if possible. 1/8" 9/16" 3/4" 1 3/4" 1/4" Figure 8: Mill the intermediate horizontal in the end bay so it can slide over the frame clips. Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 23

24 Step 11: Add Steel Reinforcement (if necessary) Steel Refer to approved shop drawings to determine whether the application requires steel reinforcing. If reinforcing is required, cut steel to 6 less than the frame height. Slide the steel into the vertical mullion from one end, recessing it 3 in from the end of the vertical. Drill pilot holes through the steel and the vertical mullion at the center of each horizontal, and anchor the steel to the vertical using fasteners of an appropriate size (may not be supplied by Tubelite). Consult Tubelite Engineering for anchor spacing and slotting of connection holes. Fastener location Steel Fastener (not by Tubelite) Revised September 2014 dependable@tubeliteinc.com Page 24
