GLASS AND GLAZING <br /> SECTION 08800 <br /> THIS SECTION USES TI-�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 requirements are specified by reference to this Section: <br /> 1. Window units. <br /> 2. Sliding glass doors <br /> B. Related Sections: The following 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 use that are attributed to <br /> the manufacturing pmcess and not to glass breakage and practices for maintaining and cleaning laminated <br /> glass contrary to manufacturer's directions. Defects include edge separation, delamination materially <br /> obstructing vision through glass, and blemishes exceeding those allowed by referenced laminated glass <br /> standard. <br /> C. Deterioration of Insulating Glass: Failure of the hermetic seal under normal use due to <br /> causes other than glass breakage and 'unproper practices for maintaining, and cleaning insulating glass. <br /> Evidence of failure is the obstruction of vision by dust,moisture,or film on the interior surfaces of glass. <br /> Improper practices for maintaining and cleaning glass do not comply with the manufacturer's directions. <br /> 1.4 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS <br /> A. General: Provide glazing systems that are produced, fabricated,and installed to withstand <br /> normal thermal movement,wind loading,and impact loading(where applicable),without failure including <br /> loss or glass breakage attributable to the following: defective manufacture, fabrication, and installation; <br /> failure of sealants or gaskets to remain watertight and airtight;deterioration of glazing materials;and.other <br /> defects in construction. <br /> B. Glass Design: Provide glass lites for the various size openings in the thicknesses and <br /> strengths(annealed or heat-treated)to meet or exceed the following criteria: <br /> 1. Minimum glass thickness,nominally,of lites in exterior walls is 6.0 mm(0.23 inch). <br /> 2. Minimum glassthicknesses of lites,whether composed of annealed or heat-treated glass,aze <br /> selected so the worst-case probability of failure dces not exceed the following: <br /> 3. Temperature Change (Range): 120 deg F (67 deg C), ambient; 180 deg F (100 deg C), <br /> material surfaces. <br /> 1.5 SUBMI'ITALS <br /> A. General: Submit the following according to Conditions of Contract and Division 1 <br /> Specification Sections. <br /> Page 1 of 8 <br />
