Submittals should be kept to the minimum required for adequate quality control. A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project. For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy, Air Force, and NASA projects. Choose the first bracketed item for Navy, Air Force and NASA projects, or choose the second bracketed item for Army projects. Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are [for Contractor Quality Control approval.][for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.] The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES: _{SD-02 Shop Drawings Window units} Indicate the elevations of windows, half-size sections, thicknesses and gages of metal, fastenings, proposed method of anchoring, the size and spacing of anchors, details of construction, method of glazing, mullion details, casings, sills, trim, other related items, and installation details. _{SD-03 Product Data Window units Fasteners Accessories} Include finishes. _{SD-06 Test Reports Air infiltration Water infiltration Mullion and transom bar wind load} 1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE The requirements specified in this section govern where there is a difference between this section and the referenced industry specifications. 1.3.1 Test Reports 1.3.1.1 Air and Water Infiltration Tests ASTM E 283 and ASTM E 331. _{Air infiltration} shall not exceed 0.8 L/s per meter one-half cubic foot per minute per foot of crack length when subjected to a static pressure of 75 Pa 1.56 pounds per square foot (equivalent to a wind velocity of 40 km/hr 25 miles per hour). The amount of _{water infiltration} shall be "zero" when tested in accordance with ASTM E 331. 1.3.1.2 _{Mullion and Transom Bar Wind Load} Tests NOTE: Specify wind loading requirements in areas subject to high wind velocities in excess of 110 km/hr 70 MPH; otherwise delete.

Use cadmium or zinc-coated nuts, bolts, and other fasteners for ferrous material. 2.8 SHOP PRIMED FINISH After fabrication, clean surfaces of windows, fins, mullions, cover plates [and screen frames], provide a hot-dip galvanized, phosphate-treated and shop primed finish. The methods of cleaning, chemical treating, galvanizing, and painting shall conform to SWI AGSW. Windows shall receive finish paint coats as specified in Section 09 90 00 PAINTS AND COATINGS. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 INSTALLATION Install windows in accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions and details, except as specified otherwise in this section. Build in windows as the work progresses. Set windows at indicated elevation, location, and reveal. Set plumb, square, level, and in alignment. Brace, strut, and stay to prevent distortion and misalignment. 3.2 ANCHORS AND FASTENINGS Place anchorage as wall construction progresses. Build in anchors or bolt anchors and fastenings to the jambs of openings and weld securely to the windows or frames and to the adjoining construction. Space anchors not more than 400 mm 16 inches apart on jambs, and install a minimum of four anchors on each side of each opening. Anchors and fastenings shall have sufficient strength to hold the member firmly in position. 3.3 SEALANTS Section 07 92 00 JOINT SEALANTS. 3.4 CLEANING Clean metal surfaces of windows, inside and outside, of mortar, plaster, paint, and other foreign matter to present a neat appearance and to prevent fouling of weathering surfaces. Clean and touch-up abraded surfaces of steel windows. Replace stained, discolored, or abraded windows that cannot be restored to their original condition with new windows.
