Ensure bolts are not overtightened.
3.3.4 Non-mechanical Installation:
08 84 00-13
3.3.4.1
3.3.4.2
Use wet or dry gaskets compatible with plastic glazing material.
Insert glazing tape between metal frame and plastic glazing and ensure there is
no contact between frame and glazing material.
3.3.5 Employ only sealants and glazing accessories that have been approved by manufacturer of
plastic glazing sheet.
3.3.6 Remove protective masking immediately after all glazing operations are completed.
3.4
PROTECTION
3.4.1 Protect installed products until completion of project.
3.4.2 Affix polyethylene film or other covering approved by plastic glazing sheet manufacturer to
framing members, as required to protect plastic glazing from other construction operations.
