3.2 INSTALLATION <br />A. Inspect each piece of glass immediately prior to start of installation. <br />1. Do not install items which are improperly sized, have damaged edges, or <br />are scratched, abraded, or damaged in any other manner. <br />2. Do not remove labels from glass until so directed by the Architect. <br />3. Install glass so distortion waves, if present, run in the horizontal <br />direction. <br />B. Locate setting blocks at sills one quarter of the width of the glass in from each end <br />of the glass, unless otherwise recommended by the glass manufacturer. <br />1. Use blocks of proper size to support the glass in accordance with the <br />manufacturer's recommendations. <br />2. Provide spacers for all glass size larger than 50 united inches, to separate <br />glass; except where continuous glazing gaskets or felts are provided. <br />a. Locate spacers no more than 24" apart, and no closer than 12" to a <br />corner. <br />b. Place spacers opposite on another. <br />c. Make bite of spacer on glass 1/4" or more. <br />C. Set glass in a manner which produces the greatest possible degree of uniformity <br />in appearance. <br />D. Do not use two different glazing materials in the same joint system unless the <br />joint use is approved in advance by the Architect. <br />E. Mask, or otherwise protect, surfaces adjacent to installation of sealants. <br />F. Miter -cut and seal the joints of glazing gaskets in accordance with the <br />manufacturer's recommendations, to provide a watertight and airtight seal at <br />corners and other locations where joints are required. <br />3.3 PROTECTION <br />A. Protect glass from breakage after installation by promptly installing streamers or <br />ribbons, suitably attached to the framing and held free from glass. Do not apply <br />warning markings, streamers, ribbons, or other items directly to the glass except <br />as specifically directed by the Architect. <br />08800-3 <br />
