� <br /> � GLASS AND GLAZING <br /> SEC'I.TUN 0880U <br /> � THIS SECTTON USES THE TERM ARCHITECT. � <br /> PART 1 -GENERAL <br /> � 1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS <br /> � A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary <br /> Conditions and Division 1 Specification Sections,apply to this Section. <br /> � 1.2 SUMMARY <br /> A. This Section includes glazing for the following products,including those specified in other <br /> Sections where glazing re,quirements are specified by reference to this Section: <br /> � ADNST LIST BELOW TO SUIT PROJECT. <br /> 1. Window units. <br /> � 2. Sliding glass doors <br /> B. ReIated Sections: Ttte foliowing sections contain requirements that relate to this Section. <br /> � 1.3 DEFINITIONS <br /> � A. Manufacturer is used in this Section to refer to a firm that produces primary glass or <br /> fabricated glass as defined in the referenced glazing standard. <br /> B. Deterioration of Laminated Glass: Defects developed from normal ase that aze attributed <br /> � to the manufacturing process and not to glass breakage and practices for maintaining and <br /> cleaning laminated glass contrary to manufacturer`s directions. Defects include edge <br /> separation, delamination materially obstructing vision through glass, and blemishes <br /> ' exceeding those allowed by referenced laminated glass standard. <br /> C. Deterioration of�nsulating Glass: Failure of the hermetic seal under normal use due to <br /> causes othes than glass breakage and improper practices for maintaining, and cleaning <br /> � insulating glass. Evidence of failure is the obstruction of vision by dust,moisture,or film <br /> on the interior surfaces of glass. Improper practices for maintaining and cIeaning glass do <br /> not comply with the manufacturer's directions. <br /> � 1.4 SYSTEM PERF�RMANCE REQiJIREMENTS <br /> A. Genera.l: Provide glazing systems that are produced,fabricaterl,and installed to withstand <br /> � normal thermal movement,wind loading,and impact loading(where applicable),without <br /> failure including loss or glass breakage attributable to the following: defective manufacture, <br /> fabrication,and installation;failure of sealants or gaskets to remain watertight and airtight; <br /> � deterioration of glazing materials;and other defects in construction. <br /> B. Glass Design: Provide glass lites for the variaus size openings in the thicknesses and <br /> strengths(annealed or heat-treated)to meet or exceed the following criteria: <br /> � 1. Minimum glass thickness,aominally,of lites in exteriorwalls is 6.0 mm(0.23 inch). <br /> 2. Minimum glass thicknesses of Iites,whether composed of annealed or heat-treated <br /> � glass, are selected so the worst-case probability of failure does not exceed the <br /> following: <br /> GLA5S AND GLAZING Page 1 of 8 <br /> � <br />
