• Where wedge-shaped gaskets are driven into one side of channel to
pressurize sealant or gasket on opposite side, provide adequate
anchorage so gasket cannot walk out when installation is subjected to
movement.
• Square cut wedge-shaped gaskets at corners and install gaskets in a
manner recommended by gasket manufacturer to prevent corners from
pulling away; seal corner joints and butt joints with sealant
recommended by gasket manufacturer.
- Sealant Glazing:
• Install continuous spacers, or spacers combined with cylindrical sealant
backing, between glass lites and glazing stops to maintain glass face
clearances and to prevent sealant from extruding into glass channel
and blocking weep systems until sealants cure. Secure spacers or
spacers and backings in place and in position to control depth of
installed sealant relative to edge clearance for optimum sealant
performance.

• Force sealants into glazing channels to eliminate voids and to ensure

complete wetting or bond of sealant to glass and channel surfaces.
•Tool exposed surfaces of sealants to provide a substantial wash away
from glass.
- Tape Glazing:
• Position tapes on fixed stops so that, when compressed by glass, their
exposed edges are flush with or protrude slightly above sightline of
stops.
• Install taps continuously, but not necessarily in one continuous length.
Do not stretch tapes to make them fit opening.
• Cover vertical framing joints b applying tapes to heads and sills first
and then to jambs. Cover horizontal framing joints by applying tapes to
jambs and then to heads and sills.
• Place joints in tapes at corners of opening with adjoining lengths butted
together, not lapped. Seal joints in tapes with compatible sealant
approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not remove release paper from tape until right before each glazing
nit is installed.
• Apply heel bead of elastomeric sealant.
• Center glass lites in openings on setting blocks and press firmly
against tape by inserting dense compression gaskets formed and
installed to lock in place against daces of removable stops. Start
gasket applications at corners and work toward centres of openings.
• Apply cap bead of elastomeric sealant over exposed edge of tape.
- Gasket Glazing:
• Cut compression gaskets to lengths recommended by gasket
manufacturer to fit openings exactly, with allowance for stretch during
installation.
• Insert soft compression gasket between glass and frame or fixed stop
so it is securely in place with joints miter cut and bonded together at
corners.
• Installation with Drive-in Wedge Gaskets: Center glass lites in openings
on setting blocks and press firmly against soft compression gasket by
inserting dense compression gaskets formed and installed to lock in
place against faces of removable stops. Start gasket applications at
corner and work toward centres of openings. Compress gaskets to
produce a wether-tight0seal without developing bending stresses in
glass. Seal gasket joint with sealant recommended by gasket
manufactures.

• Installation with Pressure-Glazing Stops: Center glass lites in openings

on setting blocks and press firmly against soft compression gasket.
Install dense compression gaskets and pressure glazing stops,
applying pressure uniformly to compression gaskets. Compress
gaskets to produce a weather0tight seal without developing bending
stresses in glass. Seal gasket joints with sealant recommended by
gasket manufacturer.
• Install gaskets so they protrude past face of glazing stops.
- Lock-Strip Gasket Glazing:
• Comply with manufacturer's written instructions. Provide
supplementary wet seal and weep system unless otherwise indicated.
- Cleaning and Protection:
• Protect exterior glass from damage immediately after installation by
attaching crossed streamers to framing held away from glass. Do not
apply markers to glass surface. Remove no permanent labels and
clean surfaces.
• Protect glass from contact with contaminating substances resulting
from construction operations. If, despite such protection, contaminating
substances do come into contact with glass, remove substances
immediately as recommended in writing by glass manufacturer.
• Examine glass surfaces adjacent to or below exterior concrete and
other masonry surfaces at frequent intervals during construction, but
not less than once a month, for build-up of dirt, scum, alkaline deposits,
or stains; remove as recommended in writing by glass manufacturer.
• Remove and replace glass that is broken, chipped, cracked, or
abraded or that is damaged from natural causes, accidents, and
vandalism, during construction period.
• Wash glass on both exposed surfaces in each area of Project not more
than four days before date scheduled for inspections that establish
date of Taking Over. Wash glass as recommended in writing by glass
manufacturer.

start.
- Execution:
• Keep plant and banker boards clean at all times.
• Measure materials accurately by volume using clean gauge boxes or
clean, undamaged buckets. Proportions of mixes are for dry sand;
allow for bulking if sand is damp.

• Mix ingredients thoroughly to a consistence suitable for the work and

free from lumps. Mix mortars containing air entraining admixtures by
machine, but do not overmix.
• Do not mix mortar when the air temperature is at or below 3°C and
falling or below 1°C and rising.
• Use mortar within about two hours of mixing at normal temperatures.
Use retarded mortar within the time and site temperatures
recommended by the manufacturer. Mortar may be retempered to
restore workability, but only within these time limits.

Z22 SEALANTS
1. GENERAL

- Read with: H72, K21, L20, M10, N13
- Preconstruction Compatibility and Adhesion Testing: Submit to joint-

sealant manufacturers, for testing indicated below, samples of materials that
will contact or affect joint sealants
• Use CYS EN 15651-5:2017 to determine whether priming and other
specific joint preparation techniques are required to obtain rapid,
optimum adhesion of joint sealants to joint substrates.
• Submit not fewer than 4 pieces of each kind of material, including joint
substrates, shims, joint-sealant backings, secondary seals, and
miscellaneous materials.
• Schedule sufficient time for testing and analysing results to prevent
delaying the Work.
• For materials failing tests, obtain joint-sealant manufacturer's written
instructions for corrective measures including use of specially
formulated primers.
• Testing will not be required if joint-sealant manufacturers submit joint
preparation data that are based on previous testing, not older than 24
months, of sealant products for adhesion to, and compatibility with,
joint substrates and other materials matching those submitted.
•Test elastomeric joint sealants for compliance with requirements
specified by reference to CYS EN 15651-5:2017, and where
applicable, to other standard test methods.
- Product Testing:
• Testing Agency Qualifications: A qualified independent testing agency
to conduct the testing indicated, as documented according to CYS EN
15651-5:2017.
• Test elastomeric joint sealants for compliance with requirements
applicable, to other standard test methods.

• Test other joint sealants for compliance with requirements indicated by

referencing standard specifications and test methods.
- Preconstruction Field-Adhesion Testing: Before installing sealants, field
test their adhesion to Project joint substrates as follows:
• Test elastomeric joint sealants for compliance with requirements
applicable, to other standard test methods
• Locate test joints where indicated on Project or, if not indicated, as
directed by Engineer.
• Conduct field tests for each application of each kind of sealant and joint
substrate indicated
• Notify Engineer seven days in advance of dates and times when test
joints will be erected.
• Arrange for tests to take place with joint-sealant manufacturer's
technical representative present.
• Report whether sealant failed to adhere to joint substrates or tore
cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each kind of
product and joint substrate. For sealants that fail adhesively, retest
until satisfactory adhesion is obtained.
• Evaluation of Preconstruction Field Adhesion Test Results: Sealants
not evidencing adhesive failure from testing, in absence of other
indications of noncompliance with requirements, will be considered
satisfactory. Do not use sealants that fail to adhere to joint substrates
during testing.
Certificates.
- Preconstruction Compatibility and Adhesion Test Reports: From sealant
manufacturer, indicating the following:
I. Materials forming joint substrates and joint-sealant backings have been

3. EXECUTION

- Execution:
1. Examine joints indicated to receive joint sealants, with Installer present, for
compliance with requirements for joint configuration, installation
tolerances, and other conditions affecting joint- sealant performance.
2. Proceed with Primer where indicated.
3. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected.
- Preparation:
1. Surface Cleaning of Joints: Clean out joints immediately before installing
joint sealants to comply with joint-sealant manufacturer's written
instructions and the following requirements:
 Remove all foreign material from joint substrates that could
interfere with adhesion of joint sealant, including dust, paints
(except for permanent, protective coatings tested and approved
for sealant adhesion and compatibility by sealant manufacturer),
old joint sealants, oil, grease, waterproofing, water repellents,
water, surface dirt, and frost.
 Clean porous joint substrate surfaces by brushing, grinding,
mechanical abrading, or a combination of these methods to
produce a clean, sound substrate capable of developing
optimum bond with joint sealants.
2. Joint Priming: Prime joint substrates where recommended by joint-sealant
manufacturer or as indicated by preconstruction joint-sealant-substrate
tests or prior experience. Apply primer to comply with joint-sealant
manufacturer's written instructions. Confine primers to areas of joint-
sealant bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining surfaces.
3. Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of
sealant or primer with adjoining surfaces that otherwise would be
permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by cleaning methods
required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape immediately after tooling
without disturbing joint seal.
- Cleaning: Clean off excess sealant or sealant smears adjacent to joints as
the Work progresses by methods and with cleaning materials approved in

writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints

occur.
- Protection: Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact
with contaminating substances and from damage resulting from construction
operations or other causes so sealants are without deterioration or damage at
time of Taking Over. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration
occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants
immediately so installations with repaired areas are indistinguishable from
original work.
