STRUCTURL LIGNMENT FLUSHGLZE 7500 3.1 Review shop drawings prior to installation to verify that structural members are in the correct location. 3.2 Installer must examine the alignment of the structural steel before installation of the window system. The walls must be square, and support members to which extrusions are attached must be in the same plane, flat and free of obstructions such as weld marks, bolts or screw heads. Support members shall be: a. Plus or minus 1 /8 (3.17 mm) in 5 feet (1524 mm) in any direction along plane of framing. b. Plus or minus 1 /4 (6.35 mm) in 20 feet (6096 mm) cumulative in any direction along plane of framing. c. Plus or minus 1 /2 (12.7 mm) from framing plane on any elevation. d. Plumb or level within 1 /8 at all changes of wall direction for preformed corner panel applications. ny variance from tolerances can affect performance, aesthetics, and installation and must be reported to the general contractor, and corrected by the responsible party before panel installation begins. 5
