E. 	Performance Requirements

1. 	When tested according to Miami-Dade County test protocols, meets the design pressures stated in the Miami-Dade County Notice(s) of Acceptance for this product.

2. 	Air Infiltration: 0.3 (ft^3)/min/ft maximum when tested per ASTM E 283 at a 1.57 psf static air pressure difference.
	
3.	Water Resistance: no water leakage when tested per ASTM E 547 at a static air pressure difference of 15% of the positive design pressure.
	
4.	Uniform Load Structural: after testing per ASTM E 330 with a load equal to 150% of the positive design pressure, the unit must be operable, with a maximum permanent deformation in any member of 0.4% of the member’s length.

B.	Finish: Bronze - PC-501, high-speed rotary atomizer applied or electrostatically sprayed, 1.0 mil dry film thickness minimum; Supplier Indalex or equivalent.

C.	Finish: Gray, high-speed rotary atomizer applied or electrostatically sprayed, 1.0 mil dry film thickness minimum; Supplier Indalex or equivalent. 

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1  EXAMINATION

A.	Verify that openings provide an acceptable anchoring surface, being clean, level, plumb, and dimensionally within the manufacturer’s tolerance of clearance spacing.
	
B.	Correct unacceptable openings as required prior to installation.

3.2  INSTALLATION

A.	Install doors and accessories in accordance with approved shop drawings and manufacturer's recommendations.
	
B.	Securely fasten frames and jambs, and set units level, plumb, and square with respect to the surrounding structure, without twist or bow. 
	
C.	Place insulation materials around shim spaces as required to ensure continuity of the thermal barrier of the structure.
	
D.	Apply caulk all around between the aluminum frame and the structure, ensuring that a continuous airtight and watertight perimeter seal results.  Leave exposed surfaces clean and free of caulk.

3.3  ADJUSTING AND CLEANING 

A.	Ensure that units freely operate in a normal fashion without scraping or excessive noise, and that door slabs make proper contact with weatherstripping perimeter seal.  Adjust frame, door slab, or hardware as needed.
	
B.	Leave units thoroughly clean and free of dirt or other construction residue.
