3.

a.

Where fasteners are subject to loosening or turning out from thermal and structural
movements, wind loads, or vibration, use self-locking devices.
Reinforce members as required to receive fastener threads.

b.
4.

B.

Where aluminum will contact dissimilar metals, protect against galvanic action by painting
contact surfaces with primer or by applying sealant or tape recommended by manufacturer
for this purpose.

Framing: Provide automatic windows and doors as prefabricated assemblies.

Complete
fabrication, assembly, finishing, hardware application, and other work before shipment to Project
site.

1.

Fabricate tubular and channel frame assemblies with manufacturer's standard welded or
mechanical joints. Provide subframes and reinforcement as required for a complete system
to support required loads.
Perform fabrication operations in manner that prevents damage to exposed finish surfaces.
Form profiles that are sharp, straight, and free of defects or deformations.
Provide components with concealed fasteners and anchor and connection devices.
