TMSERIES CG450INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSEective September, 2017 trulite.com Page 5PART 1 - Handling, Storing and Protection of Aluminum A. PRECAUTIONS: The following precautions are recommended to protect architectural aluminum materials against damage. Following these precautions will help ensure early acceptance of your products and workmanship. B. HANDLE CAREFULLY: All aluminum materials stored at job site must be stored with adequate separation and not stacked directly onto the concrete oor slab to prevent materials from being damaged when handling. Cardboard wrapped or paper interleaved materials must be kept dry. C. CHECK ARRIVING MATERIALS: Check for quantity and keep records of where various materials are stored. D. KEEP MATERIAL AWAY FROM WATER, MUD AND SPRAY: Prevent cement, plaster or other materials from damaging the nish. E. PROTECT MATERIALS AFTER ERECTION: Wrap aluminum section proles with polyethylene or protect by erecting a polyethylene splatter screen. Cement, plaster, terrazzo, other alkaline solutions and acid based materials used to clean masonry are very harmful to the nish and should be removed with water and mild soap IMMEDIATELY. Reference AAMA 609 and 610-2 for cleaning architectural aluminum.PART 2 - General Installation Instructions A. CHECK SHOP DRAWINGS, INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GLAZING INSTRUCTIONS to become thoroughly familiar with the project. The SHOP DRAWINGS take precedence and include specic details for the project. The INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS are of general nature and cover most common conditions. B. CUTTING TOLERANCES: Fabrication cutting tolerances are +0”/-1/32” unless otherwise noted. C. ERECTION: All materials are to be installed plumb, level and true. D. BENCH MARKS: All work should start from bench marks and/or column lines established by the ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS and the GENERAL CONTRACTOR with guaranteed accuracy. Check mullion spacing from both ends of masonry opening to prevent dimensional build-up of daylight opening. E. SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: Make certain construction which will receive your materials is in accordance with the contract documents. Notify the general contractor in writing of any discrepancies and resolve dierences before proceeding with work. F. ISOLATION OF ALUMINUM: Aluminum to be placed in direct contact with uncured masonry, pressure treated wood or incompatible materials should be isolated with a heavy coat of zinc chromate or bituminous paint. G. SEALANTS: Sealants must be compatible with all materials which they have contact, including other sealant surfaces. Consult with sealant manufacturer for recommendations relative to joint size, shelf life, compatibility, cleaning/priming, tooling, adhesion, etc. It is the responsibility of the GLAZING CONTRACTOR to submit a statement from the sealant manufacturer indicating that glass and glazing materials have been tested for compatibility and adhesion with glazing sealants, and interpreting test results relative to material performance, including recom- mendations for primers and substrate preparation required to obtain adhesion. The chemical compatibility of all glazing materials and framing sealants with each other and with like materials used in glass fabrication must be established. This is required on every project. H. FASTENING: Within the body of these instructions, “fastening” means any method of securing one part to another or to adjacent materials. Only those fasteners used within the system are specied in these instructions. Due to various substrates to which the framing may be attached, structural perimeter anchor fasteners are not specied in these instructions. For structural perimeter fasteners, reference the shop drawings, structural anchor charts or consult with the fastener supplier.
TMSERIES CG450INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS I. BUILDING CODES: Glass and glazing codes governing the design and use of products vary widely throughout the USA. Trulite does not control the selection of product congurations, operating hardware, or glazing materials, and assumes no responsibility for these design considerations. It is the responsibility of the owner, specier, architect, general contractor and installer to make these selections in strict conformance with all applicable codes. J. EXPANSION JOINTS: Expansion joints and perimeter seals shown in these instructions and in the shop drawings are shown at normal size. Actual dimensions may vary due to perimeter conditions and dierences in metal temperature between time of fabrication and the time of installation. Detailed instructions and formula used to calculate expansion joints are shown within the body of these instructions. K. FIELD TESTING: It is recommended that AAMA 501.2 Water Hose Test be conducted once a sucient portion of the framing is installed, glazed and sealed to ensure proper installation. This test should be repeated on large projects at specic intervals as deemed necessary by job conditions and acceptable quality control standards. L. COORDINATION WITH OTHER TRADES: Coordinate with the GENERAL CONTRACTOR and sequence with other trades any materials which oset your framing installation. For example, backup walls, partitions, ceilings, mechanical ducts, convectors, etc. M. FINAL CLEANING (CARE AND MAINTENANCE): Final cleaning of exposed aluminum surfaces should be done in accordance with AAMA publications 609.1 for anodized aluminum and 610.1 for applied painted coatings (liquid or powder). N. PRODUCT DESIGN CHANGES: Trulite reserves the right to change product designs without prior notice when deemed necessary for product improvement. Please check our website at www.trulite.com for the latest product installation instructions prior to commencing work.NOTE: SERIES CG450 FRAMING SYSTEM WAS TESTED USING DOW 995 SEALANT FOR ALL INTERNAL SEALS AND DOW 795 SEALANT FOR EXTERIOR PERIMETER SEALS.

TMSERIES CG450INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSPage 26 trulite.com Eective September, 2017GLAZING GASKETS FOR STOREFRONT SYSTEMSCORNER TREATMENTSGlazing gaskets are prone to shrink and pull away at the corners over a period of time. This allows for excessive air and/or water inltration at the corners. Standard glazing practice is to provide corner treatment to ensure weather tightness on the exterior and interior corner intersections.NOT RECOMMENDEDNotch Cutting Corners- The corners of the rubber gasket are notched on the underside without cutting the nearside. The gasket is installed in one length and is butt joined in the center at the horizontal or header. While this method of glazing is widely used for marine glazing residential sliding glass doors or shower doors, it is not recommended for commercial storefront glazing.RECOMMENDEDSEALED CORNERSPull gaskets back 2” in both directions from interior and exterior corners as shown in FIG. 34 and seal with sealant. This should be done on exterior and interior for best performance. While long term adhesion to the rubber gaskets with sealant is not assured, historical eld experience has proven this type corner treatment to be the next best method short of vulcanized corner gaskets.
