Project No. T137-03 Page 4 of 6 Glazing System: Each sash was exterior drop glazed with 718" thick insulated glass using double-sided foam glazing tape. The sash utilized two (1/8") thick clear annealed glass lites with a 5/8" continuous metal spacer. An exterior snap-in single leaf dual durorneter rigid vinyl-glazing bead secured the glass. Weep Holes: Two (318" x 3/32") weep slots were located at the glazing track through the bottom of the top sash bottom horizontal rail, one 4-1/8" from each end. Two (1/4" x 3/32") weep slots were located at the glazing track of the bottom sash bottom horizontal rail, one 2" from each end. One (318" x 3/16") weep slot were located just above each of the pivot bars on the ends of the bottom sash rail of the both sashes. Two (112" x 118") baffled weep slots were located on the exterior face of the sill, each one 1-7/3" from each end. Four (1/2" x I/8") weep slots were located on the inner charnber wall of the sill, two on very end of each side. Two (1/2" x 3/16") weep slots were located on the interior of the sill, one 1-3/4" from each end. The frame sill was a sloped sill. Three (3/8" diameter) baffled weep holes were located on the bottom rail of the screen, one weep in the center and one 5 from each end Sealant: Silicone sealant was applied to all the following areas: • Entire bottom of the sill to buck intersection.. • Screw heads hole openings used for anchorage of the frame to buck. • Exterior and interior of frame to buck intersection. • A 1/4" wood Shinn around the perimeter of the frame secured to the frame. • Cover flange at the sill and header on the exterior of the frame was sealed to the frame/flange intersection and the flange was also sealed to the buck/flange intersection. Anchorage: A 1/4" wood shim was attached with silicone to the perimeter of the buck frame. Two additional 'A" wood shim strips were attached at each jamb screw attachment to the wood buck. The frame was attached to the buck using 2" long wood screws along with silicone at the sill and on the exterior and interior perimeter of the frame to buck intersections Each jamb was attached with five sets of 2" long screws. The header was attached with three sets of wood screws. Each set of screws consisted of a screw located on the interior jamb track and one screw located on the exterior track of the frame. Each set of screws were attached parallel to each other. The sill was secured using a built up of wood that was secured to the buck and then the sill was attached with silicone to the wood. The exterior of the sill then used a trim attachment and was secured to the frame sill and buck using silicone
