FOREWORD
‘This third edition ofthe manwal has been prepared to provide architects and specifiers with a
continuingly reliable reference forthe proper design and installation of architectural sheet metal
‘Compared to the former edition, many changes in fastening methods, support methods and metal
forming style have taken place. The drawing details and text material reflect the experience and
knovledge of nationally respected sheet metal contractors, The information here has been selected
from hundreds of drawings, chars, tables and recommendations examined by the committee
Several alternative methods of design and installation have been shown for many items in the
‘manual. This has been dane to give the architect choice in the application and to reflect area
practices and varying climatic conditions throughout the country. Not all Ical area practices are
slscussed or illustrated. Deviations from these recommendations may be permissible, depending
‘upon verification of satisfactory service under conditions other than those contemplated by the
content ofthis manual. Careful examination ofthe information herein and local climatic conditions
will enable the architect to select the proper detail for practically any architectural sheet metal
requirement. However, architects are encouraged to consult local sheet metal contractors aboutany
application of architectural sheet metal. Local sheet metal contractors can make suggestions on
choice of metals, the relative economies of different techniques, et, and can otherwise share their
‘experience with designers, Itis suggested that the architect use this manual asa guide in determin-
Ing items to be included in the architectural sheet metal section of the specifications. Direct
reference to this mania by plate number is encouraged.
The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors! National Association expresses its ap-
_precation to the committees and to the numerous architects, sheet metal contractors, journeymen
sheet metal workers and manufacturers who have contributed their ime, knowledge andl experi-
ence in the development ofthis edition and the former editions.
