SPECIFICATIONS

• General: All projecting windows are the thermally improved Series P-600 as manufactured by Universal Window and Door. They Include all neces-sary hardware and related items described and shown on the plans.
• Material: Aluminum used is heavy commercial quality extruded aluminum 6063-T5 alloy with an internal polyurethane-filled structural thermal barrier. Frame and sash are designed for inside glazing using snap-in aluminum ex-truded bead.
• Construction: All ventilator corners shall be mitered and reinforced with extruded keys that are crimped into place. All joints are sealed weathertight. Corners of frame are closely fitted, butt-jointed and tightly joined by mechanical means. Ventilator sections will be double weather-stripped, with flexible bulb seals keyed into extruded grooves.
• Hardware: Universal’s ventilator windows incorporate two four-bar, heavy duty friction hinge assemblies securely fastened to the frame and vent mem-bers, operating in a track provided with an adjustable nylon friction feature that conceals when closed. Standard locking hardware consists of cam locking han-dles cast of white bronze, and secured with stainless steel fasteners. Optional mechanical operators are available.
• Glazing: At frames and vents, all glazing legs are 7/8” high with serrations on inside surface to secure shimmed butyl glazing tape. Glazing beads are extruded, snap-in type, no less than .050” and accommodate up to and includ-ing 1” glass, panels or louvers.
• Screens: The optional screens have extruded aluminum frames securely joined at the corners, and finish will match that of the window frame. Projected window frames feature a wicket door as standard. Screen cloth is 18 x 16 mesh fiberglass standard. WARNING: Insect screens are in-tended to provide reasonable insect control, and are not intended to provide for the retention of objects or persons from the interior.
• Thermal Barrier: The thermal barrier consists of a two-part, chemically curing, high strength polyurethane casting resin. This barrier provides a continu-ous, uninterrupted break around the entire perimeter of the frame and vent, and it is not bridged by any metals, conductors or other materials.
• Finish: Aluminum surfaces on the Series 600 are undercoated with a 5-stage chromate pre-treatment, then have an electrostatically applied, baked-on enamel finish conforming to AAMA 603.8 standards. Standard colors are white, black, bronze, green and beige. Special colors, architect-specified finishes and ano-dized finishes are available at an added cost.
• Erection: Window frames must be installed straight, plumb and level without springing or twisting, and securely fastened in place in accordance with manu-facturer details and appropriate building codes.. Windows are to be caulked with a suitable compound and using appropriate joint design to accomplish a thoroughly water-tight installation around the interior and exterior perimeter of the window frame and wall opening. .
