INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL NOTES
HANDLING, STORAGE AND PROTECTION OF ALUMINUM
The following precautions are recommended to protect the material against damage. Following these precautions will
help ensure early acceptance of your products and workmanship.
A. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
AII aluminum materials at job site must be stored in a safe place well removed from possible damage by other
trades. Cardboard wrapped or paper interleaved materials must be kept dry.
B. CHECK ARRIVING MATERIALS.
Check for quantity and keep records of where various materials are stored.
C. KEEP MATERIAL AWAY FROM WATER, MUD AND SPRAY.
Prevent cement plaster or other materials from damaging the finish.
D. PROTECT THE MATERIALS AFTER ERECTION.
Protect erected frame with polyethylene or canvas splatter screen. Cement, plaster, terrazzo, other alkaline solu-
tions and acid based materials used to clean masonry are harmful to the finish. lf any of these materials come
in contact with the aluminum, IMMEDIATELY remove with water and mild soap.

The rapidly changing technology within the architectural aluminum products industry demands that United States Aluminum reserve
the right to revise, discontinue or change any product line, specification or electronic media without prior written notice.
NOTE: Dimensions in parentheses ( ) are millimeters unless otherwise noted.
Other metric units shown in this manual are:
m - meter Kg - kilogram
Pa - pascal KPa - kilopascal
MPa - megapascal N - newton

GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES


RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS:
1. REVIEW CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. Check shop drawings, installation instructions, architectural drawings and
shipping lists to become thoroughly familiar with the project. The shop drawings take precedence and include spe-
cific details for the project. Note any field verified notes on the shop drawings prior to installing. The installation
instructions are of general nature and cover most conditions.
2. INSTALLATION. AII materials are to be installed plumb, level and true.
3. BENCH MARKS. AII work should start from bench marks and/or column lines as established by the architectural
drawings and the general contractor with guaranteed accuracy. Working from these datum points and lines deter-
mine: a) The plane of the wall in reference to offset lines provided on each floor.
b) The finish floor lines in reference to bench marks on the outer building columns.
c) Mullion spacing from both ends of masonry opening to prevent dimensional build-up of daylight opening.
4. FIELD WELDING. AII field welding must be adequately shielded to avoid any splatter on glass or aluminum.
Results will be unsightly and/or structurally unsound. Advise general contractor and other trades accordingly. AII
field welds of steel anchors must receive touch-up paint (zinc chromate) to avoid rust.
5. SURROUNDING CONDITIONS. Make certain that construction which will receive your materials is in accordance
with the contract documents. lf not, notify the general contractor in writing and resolve differences before proceed-
ing with work.
6. ISOLATION OF ALUMINUM. Aluminum to be placed in direct contact with uncured masonry or incompatible ma-
terials should be isolated with a heavy coat of zinc chromate or bituminous paint.
7. SEALANTS. Sealants must be compatible with all materials with which they have contact, including other sealant
surfaces. Consult with sealant manufacturer for recommendations relative to joint size, shelf life, compatibility,
cleaning/priming, tooling, adhesion, etc. It is the responsibility of the Glazing Contractor to submit a statement
from the sealant manufacturer indicating that glass and glazing materials have been tested for compatibility and
adhesion with glazing sealants, and interpreting test results relative to material performance, including recom-
mendations for primers and substrate preparation required to obtain adhesion. The chemical compatibility of all
glazing materials and framing sealants with each other and with like materials used in glass fabrication must be
established. This is required on every project.
8. FASTENING. Within the body of these instructions “fastening” means any method of securing one part to another
or to adjacent materials. Only those fasteners used within the system are specified in these instructions. Due to
the varying perimeter conditions and performance requirements perimeter and anchor fasteners are not specified
in these instructions. For perimeter and anchor fasteners refer to the shop drawings or consult the fastener sup-
plier.
9. BUILDING CODES. Due to the diversity in state/provincial local and federal laws and codes that govern the design
and application of architectural products it is the responsibility of the individual architect owner and installer to
assure that products selected for use on projects comply with all the applicable building codes and laws. United
States Aluminum exercises no control over the use or application of its products, glazing materials and operating
hardware and assumes no responsibility thereof.
10. EXPANSION JOlNTS. Expansion joints and perimeter seals shown in these instructions and in the shop drawings
are shown at normal size. Actual dimensions may vary due to perimeter conditions and/or difference in metal tem-
perature between the time of fabrication and the time of installation. Gap between expansion members should be
based on temperature at time of installation.
11. WATER HOSE TEST. As soon as a representative amount of the wall has been glazed (500 square feet or 46.5 m2)
a water hose test should be conducted in accordance with AAMA 501.2 specifications to check the installation.
On all jobs the hose test should be repeated every 500 square feet (46.5m2) during the glazing operation.
12. COORDINATION WITH OTHER TRADES. Coordinate with the general contractor any sequence with other trades
which offset curtain wall installation (i.e. fire proofing, back-up walls, partitions, ceilings, mechanical ducts, con-
verters etc.).
13. CARE AND MAINTENANCE. Final cleaning of exposed aluminum surfaces should be done in accordance with
AAMA. 609.1 for anodized aluminum and 610.1 for painted aluminum.

PUSH/PULL HARDWARE - RETROFIT PROCEDURE

Before retrofitting the Astral Push/Pull hardware to any door, you must determine the location
of the lock from the bottom of the door. Then follow the instructions listed below that correspond
with the lock height of your door.

FOR LOCKS AT 34":

Step 1: Remove existing push/pull hardware.


Step 2: Drill out existing push bar hole on lock stile with a 25/64 (.3906) drill.

NOTE: If door has a "collared" rivnut that is not flush with the stile,
use one of two options.
a) Counterbore base of push/pull houseing to allow fit over
collar of nutsert.
b) Drill out all rivnuts and install flush nutserts.

Step 3: Install MF-420 Nutserts into new holes and compress using a rivnut
tool or 1/4-20 hex head bolt and nut.
Step 4: Install new Astral push/pull hardware.

FOR LOCKS ABOVE 34" THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH NUTSERTS:


Step 1: Remove existing push/pull hardware.
Step 2: Drill out existing push bar hole on lock stile with a 25/64 (.3906) drill.

NOTE: If door has a "collared" rivnut that is not flush with the stile,
use one of two options.
a) Counterbore base of push/pull houseing to allow fit over
collar of nutsert.
b) Drill out all rivnuts and install flush nutserts.
Step 3: Modify two (2) MF-420 Nutserts by grinding 1/8" off the threaded side.
See Fig. 1.
Step 4: Install one (1) modified MF-420 into the lock stile for the push bar.
Install the other modified MF-420 nutsert into the lower pull handle hole.
Step 5: Install one (1) standard MF-420 (non-modified) into the hinge stile
hole for the push bar. Install the other non-modified MF-420 nutsert
into the top hole for the pull handle.
Step 6: Compress all MF-420 nutserts using a rivnut tool or 1/4-20 hex head
bolt and nut.
Step 7: Install new Astral push/pull hardware.
