2.4 FABRICATION
2.4.2 Form from materials of size, thickness, and shapes indicated, but not less
than that needed to support indicated loads.
2.4.3 Shear and punch metals cleanly and accurately. Remove burrs.
2.5.2 Frames and Supports: Fabricate from metal shapes, plates, and bars of
welded construction to sizes, shapes, and profiles indicated and as
necessary to receive gratings. Miter and weld connections for perimeter
angle frames. Cut, drill, and tap units to receive hardware and similar
items.
− Unless otherwise indicated, fabricate from same basic metal as gratings.
2.5.3 Equip units with integrally welded anchors for casting into concrete or
building into masonry.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
3.2.2 Cutting, Fitting, and Placement: Perform cutting, drilling, and fitting
required for installing gratings. Set units accurately in location, alignment,
and elevation; measured from established lines and levels and free from
rack.
3.2.3 Fit exposed connections accurately together to form hairline joints. Do not
weld, cut, or abrade the surfaces of units that have been finished after
fabrication and are for bolted or screwed field connections.
3.3.2 Attach units to supporting members with type and size of clips and
3.3.3 Attach non removable units to supporting members by welding where both
materials are same; otherwise, fasten by bolting as indicated above.
