PRODUCt USE

the Reliance-TC IGtm curtain wall system is intended for installation by glazing professionals with appropriate experience. Subcontractors without experience should employ a qualified person to provide field instruction and project management.

Vistawall does not control the application or selection of its product configurations, sealant or glazing material and assumes no responsibility thereof. It is the responsibility of the owner, architect and installer to make these selections in strict compliance with applicable laws and building codes.

Consult sealant manufacturer for review and recommendation of sealant application. Follow sealant manufacturer’s recommendations and literature for proper installation.

the air and water performance of the Reliance-tC IGtm curtain wall system is directly related to the completeness and integrity of the installation process. To insure top performance for this system, particular attention should be given the following procedures:

1. Surfaces to be sealed should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or solvent and dried as recommended by sealant manufacturer to remove all dirt and cutting oils. Sealant at shear blocks should be a minimum 3/16” diameter nominal placed completely around the top, face and bottom of the shear block without gaps in the sealant. Exposed surfaces should be cleaned after installing the horizontal. Inspect joint for complete sealant contact, especially where the horizontal meets the face of the vertical member. Repair joint as required.

2. The exterior glazing gasket should be installed so as to avoid stretching, buckles or tears. Corners must be cut square at verticals and mitered at horizontals, sealed and butted together. To avoid damage to gasket and corner joints during glazing, glass should be level and straight during installation.

3. Vertical movement of mullion at intermediate floors requires special expansion joints and glazing materials. See page 29-30 for details that permit 1/4” movement. For designs and applications that may require greater movement or special considerations please contact your local Vistawall facility.

Variations on the details shown are inevitable and are not the responsibility of Vistawall when drawn by others. Vistawall strongly encourages its customers to utilize Vistawall supplied calculations and shop drawings.

For Structural Silicone Glazing applications, the stress on the silicone should not exceed 20 PSI. Consult sealant manufacturer for specific applications to ensure proper loading on silicone joint. Alternate spacer gaskets are available to accommodate larger sealant contact widths. Consult your nearest Vistawall facility for assistance.

Consult glass manufacturer for correct setting block location and length for glass sizes in excess of 40 sq. ft.
