About this file

This is a technical specification section (08 80 00) for glazing work at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center Cath Lab 1 Site Prep project in Charleston, SC (Project #534-CSI-714, effective 01-01-21). The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for glass installation, glazing materials, and accessories for both factory and field-glazed assemblies.

The specification mandates minimum 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick clear glass units complying with ASTM C1036 (Type I, Class 1, Quality q3), with thicknesses coordinated with framing system manufacturers and designed per ASTM E1300 and ASCE 7 wind load provisions. Laminated glass must comply with ASTM C1172, utilizing polyvinyl butyral, ionomeric polymer, or cast-in-place resin interlayers with minimum thicknesses of 0.75 mm (vertical glazing), 1.5 mm (horizontal/sloped glazing and acoustical applications), or 2.28 mm (performance-driven applications). Glazing accessories include silicone setting blocks per ASTM C864 (Shore A hardness 80-90 Durometer, 50-150 mm lengths), elastomeric spacers (Shore A hardness 40-50 Durometer), preformed glazing tapes per AAMA 810.1, and glazing sealants per ASTM C920 (silicone neutral or acetoxy cure, Type S, Shore A hardness 25-30 Durometer). Installation methods encompass both dry method (tape and gasket spline glazing) and wet/dry method (preformed tape with sealant), with setting blocks positioned at quarter points no more than 150-152 mm from corners. Manufacturers must provide certificates of compliance for fire-protection glazing, solar heat gain coefficients, thermal resistance values, bullet-resistive ratings, and blast-resistant performance. Warranty requirements include ten-year sealing for insulating glass units and five-year lamination warranty for laminated glass units. The specification references extensive industry standards including GANA Glazing Manual, IGMA guidelines, NFPA fire standards, ASTM testing methods, and IBC code requirements, with compliance required for all glass quality marking per ANSI Z97.1 and SGCC certification standards.
