GENERAL INFORMATION

PRODUCT USE

The Reliance -TC curtain wall system is intended for installation by glazing professionals with
appropriate experience. Subcontractors without experience should employ a qualified person to provide field
instruction and project management.

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope does not control the application or selection of its product configurations, sealant

®

or glazing material and assumes no responsibility thereof. It is the responsibility of the owner, architect and
installer to make these selections in strict compliance with applicable laws and building codes.

Consult sealant manufacturer for review and recommendation of sealant application. Follow sealant
manufacturer’s recommendations and literature for proper installation.

The air and water performance of the Reliance -TC curtain wall system is directly related to the
completeness and integrity of the installation process both the seal installed at the shear blocks and the glazing
gasket installed at the interior side of the glass. All pressure plates must also be installed properly. To insure top
performance for this system, particular attention should be given the following procedures:

1. Surfaces to be sealed should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or solvent and dried as recommended by
sealant manufacturer to remove all dirt and cutting oils. Sealant at shear blocks should be a minimum 3/16˜
diameter nominal placed completely around the top, face and bottom of the shear block without gaps in the
sealant. Exposed surfaces should be cleaned after installing the horizontal. Inspect joint for complete
sealant contact, especially where the horizontal meets the face of the vertical member. Repair joint as
required.

2. The interior glazing gasket should be installed so as to avoid stretching, buckles or tears. Corners must be
cut square, sealed and butted together. To avoid damage to gasket and corner joints during glazing, glass
should be level and straight during installation.

3. Vertical movement of mullion at intermediate floors requires special expansion joints and glazing materials.
See page 13 for details which permit 1/4” movement. For designs and applications that may require greater
movement or special considerations please contact your local Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope facility.

®

Variations on the details shown are inevitable and are not the responsibility of Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope
when drawn by others. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope strongly encourages its customers to use its Engineering

®

department for calculations and shop drawings.

For Structural Silicone Glazing (SSG) applications, the stress on the silicone should not exceed 20 PSI. Consult
sealant manufacturer for specific applications to ensure proper loading on silicone joint. Alternate spacer gaskets

are available to accommodate larger sealant contact widths. Consult your nearest Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope
facility for assistance.

Consult glass manufacturer for correct setting block location and length for glass sizes in excess of 40 sq.ft.

PROTECTION AND STORAGE

Handle all material carefully. Do not drop from the truck. Stack with adequate separation so the material will not
rub together. Store material off the ground, protecting against the elements and other construction hazards by
using a well ventilated covering. Remove material from package if wet or located in a damp area. For further
guidelines consult AAMA publication ˆCare and Handling of Architectural Aluminum From Shop to Site.˜

CHECK MATERIAL

TM

GENERAL INFORMATION

Check glass dimensions for overall size as well as thickness. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope cannot be held

®

responsible for gaskets that are not water tight due to extreme glass tolerances. The Reliance-TC
curtain wall system is designed to accommodate glass or panels measuring 1 3/4” and 2” in thickness. (+/− 1/32”)

Check all material upon arrival at job site for quality and to determine any shipping damage.

Using the contract documents, completely check the surrounding conditions that will receive your materials.
Notify the general contractor by letter of any discrepancies before proceeding with the work. Failure to do so

constitutes acceptance of work by other trades.

Check shop drawings, installation instructions, architectural drawings and shipping lists to become 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. Due to varying job conditions all

sealant used must be approved by the sealant manufacturer to insure it will perform per the conditions shown on
the instructions and shop drawings. The sealant must be compatible with all surfaces in which adhesion is

required, including other sealant surfaces. Use primers where directed by sealant manufacturer. Properly store

sealant at the recommended temperatures and check sealant for remainder of shelf life before using.

FIELD CONDITIONS

All material to be installed must be plumb, level and true. Aluminum to be placed in direct contact with masonry
or incompatible material should be isolated with a heavy coat of zinc chromate, bituminous paint or non−metallic

material.

After sealant is set and a representative amount of the wall has been glazed (250 square feet or more), run a
water hose test in accordance with AAMA 501.2 specifications to check installation. On large projects the hose
test should be repeated during the glazing operation.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Cement, plaster terrazzo, alkaline and acid based materials used to clean masonry are very harmful to finishes.
Any residue should be removed with water and mild soap immediately or permanent staining will occur. A spot
test is recommended before any cleaning agent is used. Refer to the Architectural Finish Guide in the
detail catalog.

EXPANSION JOINTS

Expansion joints and perimeter joints shown in these instructions and in the shop drawings are shown at nominal
size. Actual dimensions may vary due to perimeter conditions and/or differences in metal temperature between

the time of fabrication and the time of installation. For example, a 12 foot unrestrained length of aluminum can
expand or contract 3/32” over a temperature change of 50º F. Any movement potential should be accounted for
at the time of the installation.

GENERAL INFORMATION

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING SYSTEM THERMAL PERFORMANCE

To maintain or improve your wall installation the following items should be considered.

A. Blinds or drapes prevent warm air from adequately flowing over the window surface.

B. Warm air ventilators too f ar from the window will not adequately wash the window with air to prevent

condensation.

C. In extreme conditions the fa n of the heating system should not cycle on and off, but should run

continuously.

D. Some heating systems have a water injection feature that can raise humidity levels. The higher the

humidity levels the more likely condensation or frost will form. Raising the temperature and reducing
humidity will usually solve the problem.

E. On rare occasions an extremely cold storm may cause frost to appear on the glass framing. A space

heater and electric fan blowing along the plane of the window wall can reduce or eliminate this temporary
condition.

3.3 Note: To avoid silicone curing before glass is s et i n place and contamination from job-site debris,

glazing prep must be done as each opening is glazed. Do not pre-seal the gaskets in the entire frame; install
and seal gaskets as you are ready to set glass in each opening. Install interior gaskets into backmembers, both
horizontal and vertical, installing vertical gaskets fir st. If the vertical mullion is spliced, run gasket through the splice
joint, setting gasket in fresh silicone at splice joint, trimming the gasket dart as necessary to form an airtight seal.
Glazing gaskets at verticals run through; horizontal gaskets butt into vertical gaskets. Crowd the gaskets into corners,
cutting the horizontal gaskets at an angl e to match bevel on vertical gaskets. Pulling the horizontal gasket back, seal
joint between the corners of the gaskets just prior to s ettin g the glass. Release the gasket back to its original position,
making sure sealant fills the entire joint. Tool corner joints after glass is set and temporary glaz ing retainers are
installed.

NOTE:

Sealant is not required at the horizonta l gasket abutting an SSG mullion. This gap will be sealed during

application of structural silicone.

3.4 Position setting blocks at correct location (two per lite). Refer to approved shop drawings or dead load charts.

Lubricating the bottom of setting block will assist in pr oper setting of glass.Consult glass manufacturer for corre ct
setting block location and length for glass sizes in excess of 40 sq. ft, and recommended lubricants.

3.5 Set glass in opening from the exterior . When using Type I vertical mullions, place one edge of th e
glass into the deep pocket of the vertical. Swing the glass into the adjacent vertical pocket,
ensuring that the glass bite is equal on all sides. See FIGURE 19
CAUTION: Be certain that glass is placed firmly against interior gasket to ensure a proper
seal and to avoid binding of the glass on the setting block .

3.6 When glazing Type I, temporarily hold glass in place at each corner and at every 24" on
center with 4" long GP-113 exterior wedge gaskets. Locate at the corners for proper sealing of the
gasket joint. Glazing retainers are also required at each end of the horizontals and at the center of
each horizontal if the D.L.O. is greater than 4' in length. Use WW-333-01 temporary glazing retainers
fastened with (1) FS-325 screw. Torque fasteners to 60 in-lbs .Temporary retainers are intended for
short-term use only. Additional retainers may be required to withstand full design wind load
pressures. If severe weather or high wind loads are ant icipated, full length pressure plates must be
installed. SEE FIGURE 20, below & FIGURE 21, page 25.

Follow sealant manufacturer's guidelines for proper joint width based on anticipated movement. A minimum ½”

joint is recommended. Note: Standard splice joints are engineered to accommodate thermal expansion
only. They do not allow for movement in floor levels. Refer to approved shop drawings for special
circumstances, or contact your nearest Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope facility.

®

B.1 Apply bond breaker tape to the face of splice sleeves, returning back on the sides 1” minimum. Insert

backer rod into the hollow of the vertical mullion, top and bottom. Seal between top and bottom mullion
from the front of the tongue to 1” behind glass pocket. Follow the contour of the glazing reglets with the
sealant to insure a good seal when gaskets are installed. SEE FIGURE 9, page 14.

B.2 Discontinue glazing adaptors at splice joints. Install backer rod into cavity and seal between adaptors.

Marry adaptor seal with main mullion seal. Refer to step B.1 above for sealing notes at glazing reglets.

B.3 Seal face of WW-520 and similar verticals by installing backer rod in joint and seal per FIGURE 36.

B.4 Offset pressure plates and face covers per FIGURE 37 page 37, sealing p ressure p late and face cover

joints as shown in FIGURE 38, page 37.
