Note: Please reference EFCO's "Understanding Condensation" brochure which can be obtained through your EFCO representative. Condensation will form on any surface when unfavorable conditions (interior temperature and relative humidity and exterior temperature) are present. When the formation of excessive condensation is a concern, it is highly recommend ed that a design professional is utilized to perform an analysis of the shop drawings to recommend the best possible installation methods. Please contact your EFCO representative for information on EFCO's Thermal Analysis Services. Many current installation practices lead to an increase in the possibility of the formation of condensation. Though not all inclusive, the list of examples below illustrates conditions under which condensation is lik ely to occur:

1. Bridging system thermal break with non-thermally broken metal flashing or lintels th at are exposed to the exterior

2. System exposure to cold air cavities

3. Interior relative humidity levels not maintained at recommended levels, see EFCO’s “Understanding Condensation” brochure

4. Inadequate separation between system and surrounding condition at perimeter

5. Product combinations during the shop drawing stage that result in bridging thermal breaks of one or all products involved

Note: Assembly Instructions are provided as a supplement, and should be used in conjunction with the approved shop drawings.

Section 15 - General Notes and Guidelines

1. Below illustrates the recommended hardware locations for various unit config urations.

2. The exact lock locations and quantities will be determined on a job by job basis and will vary with the design pressure and vent configuration for a given project. Refer to the final approved shop drawings for quantities and locations. Snubbers at the vent head may not be required depending on structural loads and the size of the vent.

3. Opening limiting hardware is required for all vent installations. The maximum opening size for vents will be determined by local code, but may not exceed more than opening at a 20 degree angle normal to the plane of the wall for safety reasons.

Section 22 - SSG Vent Unit Glazing at Fixed Horizontal : D. Weather Seal Application

1. Using an approved solvent or cleaner, clean the sealant contact surfaces of the glazing and adapters of all oils and other contaminants.

2. If sealant primer is required, apply it per the primer/sealant manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Insert 3/8” diameter backer rod between the glazing and adapters around all four corners of each lite of glazing. Refer to Volume 2, Figure 38 page 17 for more information.

4. Apply sealant into the void between the adapters and glazing to form the weather seal and tool smooth. If the sealant is properly and carefully applied, masking tape on the adjacent surfaces is not necessary.

5. Seal the ends of adapter at the head of the vent, running the sealant to the face of the vertical, but not across the face of the vertical. This allows weeps for the glazing pocket of the lite above the vent. Tool the sealant neatly into the adjacent surfaces. Slide the WS00 gasket out of the way to apply this seal. Return WS00 to its former position after sealing. See Figure 38.

6. Seal the ends of the adapter at the sill of the vent, running the sealant to the vertical and across the face and around to where the adapter meets the horizontal. Lift WA07 gasket out of the way to apply this seal. Tool the sealant neatly into the adjacent surfaces. Return WA07 to its former position after sealing. See Figure 39.

7. Before the sealant begins to cure or skin over, tool the sealant into the joints smoothly, taking care to smooth and blend the sealant in the corners and intermediate intersections as shown below. See Figures 37 through 40. Seen in section view, the sealant should have an hourglass shape and maintain a 2:1 width to depth ratio as shown in Volume 2, Figure 38 on page 17. Remove any excess sealant from the surrounding surfaces before the sealant begins to cure.

Section 23 - SSG Vent Unit Glazing at Stack Sill : D. Weather Seal Application

1. Using an approved solvent or cleaner, clean the sealant contact surfaces of the glazing and adapters of all oils and other contaminants.

2. If sealant primer is required, apply it per the primer/sealant manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Insert 3/8” diameter backer rod between the glazing and adapters around all four corners of each lite of glazing. Refer to Volume 2, Figure 3 8 pag e 17 for more information.

4. Apply sealant into the void between the adapters and glazing to form the weather seal and tool smooth. If the sealant is properly and carefully applied, masking tape on the adjacent surfaces is not necessary.

5. Seal the ends of adapter at the head of the vent, running the sealant to the face of the vertical, but not across the face of the vertical. This allows weeps for the glazing pocket of the lite above the vent. Tool the sealant neatly into the adjacent surfaces. Slide the WS00 gasket out of the way to apply this seal. Return WS00 to its former position after sealing. See Figure 56.

6. Before the sealant begins to cure or skin over, tool the sealant into the joints smoothly, taking care to smooth and blend the sealant in the corners and intermediate intersections as shown below. See Figures 54 through 57. Seen in section view, the sealant should have an hourglass shape and maintain a 2:1 width to depth ratio as shown in Volume 2, Figure 38 on page 17. Remove any excess sealant from the surrounding surface s before the sealant begins to cure.

6. Using an approved solvent or cleaner, clean the surfaces of the sash to receive the WC18, WS10 s pacer gaskets and sealant of all oils and other contaminants. The sealant manufacturer’s preparation and application instructions should be followed exactly.

7. If sealant primer is required, apply it per the primer/sealant manufacturer’s instructions. See the note in Figure 97 below.

8. Frames must be true and square before being structurally glazed. Improperly squared units will ca use significant problems during vent operation. Check the frame for squareness by comparing the difference between the two diagon al measurements of the frame by measuring from corner to opposing corner for the two diagonal dimensions. The vent frame must be absolutely square for glazing.

9. Apply WS10 offset spacer gaskets to the vertical sash members. Ensure the gaskets are applied as shown in Figure 99 and are flush with the side of the sash at the D.L.O. WS10 runs through at the corners, with WC18 running in between. Cut the gasket long, so it can be trimmed flush with the WC18 gaskets, as shown in Figures 100 and 101. Notch the gasket dart on each end of WS10 to clear the miter at the corners of the frame.

10. Apply WC18 offset spacer gaskets to the head and sill sash members. WC18 runs between the WS10 gaskets at the vertical sash members.

Note: After cleaning and priming the glazing substrates (priming when required), the glazing must be set and the structural silicone applied immediately. The time between cleaning, priming, and applying the structural silicone should be less than two hours. Otherwise, the substrates may become contaminated, and the primer will oxidize. If units have been prepared for glazing at the end of the day, and sealant has not yet been applied, cleaning and priming must be redone prior to glazing the next day.

11. Inspect the I.G. unit for the vent frame. Any excessive sealant or irregularities at the perimeter should be cleaned and trimmed. Check the glass for damage, particularly along the glass edges and discard any unacceptable units. The secondary sealant joints of the insulated glass units should be checked for proper size. The approved shop drawings will indicate the required secondary sealant joint size for the gl azing on the general information page. Check the alignment of each pane making up the I.G. unit to ensure they are within acceptable limits. The I.G. unit overall dimensions should be verified for proper size.

12. Using an approved solvent or cleaner, thoroughly clean the edges of the glazing that will contact the structural silicone and spacer of all oils and other contaminants. Once the glass has been cleaned, it should be han dled with gloves or glass manipulator to avoid to avoid contaminating the edges that come into contact with the structural silicone glazing joint.

13. Set the glazing on the silicone spacer gaskets positioned as shown below. The edge of the glazing extends past the edge of the vertical sash by 15/16”. Refer to Figures 103 and 105 below. Ensure the glazing is positioned with the exterior side out, and the bottom of the glazing to the setting blocks. Care should be exercised to avoid shifting or rolling the spacer gaskets when adjusting the position of the glass.

14. Temporarily insert the HS32 setting blocks between the sill sash fin and glazing to position the glazing to the sill. Remove the blocks after final alignment of the glazing to apply the structural silicone. See Figure 104.

The time between cleaning, priming, and applying the structural silicone should be less than two hours. Otherwise, the substrates may become contaminated, and the primer will oxidize. If units have been prepared for glazing at the end of the day, and sealant has not yet been applied, cleaning and priming must be redone prior to glazing the next day.

11. Inspect the I.G. unit for the vent frame. Any excessive sealant or irregularities at the perimeter should be cleaned and trimmed. Check the glass for damage, particularly along the glass edges and discard any unacceptable units. The secondary sealant joints of the insulated glass units should be checked for proper size. The approved shop drawings will indicate the required secondary sealant joint size for the gl azing on the general information page. Check the alignment of each pane making up the I.G. unit to ensure they are within acceptable limits. The I.G. unit overall dimensions should be verified for proper size.

12. Using an approved solvent or cleaner, thoroughly clean the edges of the glazing that will contact the structural silicone and spacer of all oils and other contaminants. Once the glass has been cleaned, it should be han dled with gloves or glass manipulator to avoid contaminating the edges that come into contact with the structural silicone glazing joint.

13. Set the glazing on the silicone spacer gaskets positioned as shown below. The edge of the glazing is flush with the edge of the vertical sash as shown. Refer to Figures 173 and 175 below. Ensure the glazing is positioned with the exterior side out, and the bottom of the glazing to the setting blocks. Care should be exercised to avoid shifting or rolling the spacer gaskets when adjusting the position of the glass.

14. Temporarily insert the HS32 setting blocks between the sill sash fin and glazing to position the glazing to the sill. Remove the blocks after final alignment of the glazing to apply the structural silicone. See Figure 174.

15. Apply structural silicone sealant into the void between the glass and mullion per the sealant manufacturer’s application instructions. See additional notes, and figures below for sealant application and tooling instructions. A 90 degree nozzle may be required at the sill sash due to the fin bar at this location.

16. Immediately tool the sealant joint after application to insure the joint is completely filled with sealant on all four sides of each piece of glazing. Make sure no air bubbles or voids are present in the sealant joint. See Figure 180.

17. Insert the HS32 setting blocks between the sill sash fin and glazing at quarter points or as directed per the final approved shop drawings. See Figure 174 on page 70.

Section 31 - Gasket Application and Hardware Mounting On Vent Frame

1. The figures below show a vent configuration for a SSG vent with a fixed horizontal at the vent sill. All other vent configurations will receive the WA07 preset gasket in the same fashion. See Figures 197 - 200, page 77, 201 - 204, page 78, and 205 - 208, page 79.

2. Apply the interior WA07 preset gasket starting at the center of the head sash. The interior WA07 gasket wraps around on all four sides of the vent with one continuous piece. Form as tight a radius as possible at the corners with the gasket. Ensure the gasket is not stretched during application. Butt the ends together at the head, crowding in extra gasket to ovoid gaps later due to gasket shrinkage. See the Figures below and 194 - 196 on page 76.

3. Apply the exterior WA07 preset gasket to the jamb starting and ending 3” above the sill sash wrapping aro und the corners at the head. The exterior WA07 wraps around both jambs and the head on only three sides of the vent as one continuous piece. (See Figure 192).

4. Apply a piece of the WA07 preset gasket to the exterior leg of the sill sash of the vent that starts and stops 6” short of the jamb sash. See Figure 192 below.
