PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY

A. Section Includes: Aluminum Skylight Framing Systems by Regal Manufacturing Company (SOLARVIEW 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900, 3000, 3100, 3200), Sunrooms (SUNROOM 5400) and Vertical Glazing Systems (VISTA 6200, 6300, 6400, 6500), custom engineered to specific project requirements.

B. Related Work by Others: Structural support for framing systems, including wood and steel components except fasteners connecting manufacturer supplied components; site installation of framing systems; installation fasteners for frame and flashings; anti-galvanic and corrosion protection other than factory supplied finishes; glazing, glazing tape, sealants, and glazing labor; final cleaning.

1.02 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

A. Design Requirements:

1. General: Align glazing surfaces with planes of glazing material within two (2) degrees. Use stainless steel fasteners exclusively.
2. Skylight Systems: 5/8" glazing bite, 3/8" edge clearance between glass and all other material except glazing blocks; serrated glazing surfaces for maximum sealing potential, with "T slots" for dryset materials; glazing materials clamped to glazing support surfaces by mechanically connected aluminum glazing cap bars with #10-24 Machine Screws; overlapping cascading condensation gutters to cause condensate to drop in transition from one member to next on way to exterior; gutters integral part of all glazing support members (no break metal or add on members); hooded weep holes to protect against air and moisture infiltration; ball and socket tilt mount system to eliminate need for sloped framing or special support at sill, accommodate up to 125 degrees of rotation to fit required angle of slope [Tilt mount system available on 2200 - 3200 systems; some features not available on 2100 system].
3. SUNROOM 5400 and VISTA 6200 Systems: 1/2" glazing bite; serrated glazing surfaces for maximum sealing potential; glazing materials clamped to glazing support surfaces by snap in aluminum glazing bead; condensation gutters integral part of all members (no break metal or add on members); weep holes draining into baffled pressure relief chambers to reduce differential air pressures and protect against air and moisture infiltration.

B. Performance Requirements:

1. Accommodate expansion and contraction, caused by a 100 degree Fahrenheit temperature range, without loss of structural or weather integrity.
2. Component supporting capacity to withstand: ___ p.s.f. vertical live lead, wind velocity [Zone Velocity] ___MPH at __ ft. above ground level, exposure class (B, or C). Deflection of structural glazing members, due to wind and live loads, limited to L/175 of span. [Design live loads and wind velocities from ANSI A58.1-1982 or local building code requirement, whichever is greater. Computation of wind pressure normal to glass plane based on Uniform Building Code, current edition, wind loading factors, or local building code requirement, whichever is greater.]

1.03 SUBMITTALS

A. Shop Drawings: Submit for Architect's review and approval prior to fabrication, including pertinent details for installation and anchorage of framing members, recommended details for glazing, sealing, terminating flashing at systems, and adaptation of systems to specific Project. Installer shall provide final certified dimensions to manufacturer prior to fabrication. No fabrication or prefabrication processes shall begin until signed Shop Drawings ar received by manufacturer.

B. Engineering Calculations: If requested by Architect, Manufacturer shall provide engineering calculations, stamped and certified by registered professional engineer attesting adequacy of system(s) to meet required loads.

1.04 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Manufacturer's Qualifications; Manufacturer shall have minimum of ten (10) years experience designing and manufacturing custom structural skylight framing systems.

B. Installer's Qualifications: Installer shall use trained, skilled workers for proper installation.

1.05 WARRANTY: [Regal Manufacturing Company warrants its products to be free of significant defects in materials or workmanship for period of one year from the date of shipment. Actual Warranty text provided as part of each invoice.]
