Minimiz ing Condensation

NOTE: Please reference EFCO's "Underst andi ng Condensat i on" broc hure whi ch c an 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 exc ess i ve c ondensat i on is a concern, it is highly recommended that a design
professional is utilized to perform an analysis of the shop drawings to recommend the best installation methods. Please contact
EFCO representative for informat i on on EFCO's Thermal Analysis Services.
Many current install ation 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 likely to occur:

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

2. System exposure to cold air cavities.

3. Interior relative hum idity level s 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 t he shop drawing stage that result in bridging thermal breaks of one or all products
involved.

SECTION I - GENERAL NOTES

EFCO Series 960 Wall is a thermal wall system with a 1 3/4" face dimension
and has system depth dimensions from 2 3/4" to 8 1/8". The system is
exterior glazed with either 1/4" or 1" dry glazing. Entrance doors are an
engineered part of the system.

1)

Check the shop drawings, installation instructions, and the glazing
instructions to become thoroughly familiar with the project. The shop
drawings take precedence and include specific details for the project.
The installation instructions are of a general nature and cover the most
common conditions.

Check all materials upon arrival and be sure you have everything required

2)

to begin installation.
(See Section II "PARTS IDENTIFICATION")

All work should start from bench marks and/or column center lines as

3)

established by the architectural drawings and the general contractor.
Check construction for compliance with the contract documents.

4)

Sealants must be compatible with all surfaces. Consult with the sealant
manufacturer for recommendations regarding compatibility and adhesion.

All materials are to be installed plumb, level, and true.

5)

6)

Protect aluminum materials after erection. Cement, plaster, alkaline
solutions, and acid based materials can be harmful to the finish.

7)

Clean all finished aluminum surfaces with a mild detergent and water.
No abrasive agent should be used.

SECTION III - SCREW SPLINE FABRICATION

The screw spline system is a fabrication and erection method that permits
the preassembly of single units in the shop or at the job site. These
units are then erected by mating the male mullion with the female mullion
counterparts.

When an entrance is required, shear block joinery must be used to attach
the side lite horizontals to the immediate door frame. The other side of
the side lite will be fabricated for screw spline joinery as usual.

NOTE:

DUE TO THE SCREW TENSIONS REQUIRED FOR CORRECT
INSTALLATION, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO ’WAX’ THE FRAME
ASSEMBLY SCREWS TO PREVENT GALLING AND BREAKAGE.

STEP 1)

NOTE: Allow a minimum 1/

NOTE: Allow extra clearances, if necessary, to accommodate building

STEP 2)

NOTE: Verticals must run through. If the opening has an entrance,

NOTE: Door jambs run to the floor and are cut longer than other verticals.

Measure the opening to determine the cut length of the frame
components.

2" shim and caulk space around the perimeter.

tolerances.

Cut the verticals and vertical face caps to the frame size.
see the appropriate frame and door fabrication and

installation sheets.

STEP 3)

STEP 4)

Drill holes for the assembly screws on the vertical members.

See the drilling template on page 19 or the drill jig guide on
page 20.

Cut the horizontal members to the day lite openings (between the
vertical mullions).
Cut the horizontal face caps to day lite openings minus 1/16".
