Cords shall be colored black and of sufficient length to route around equipment to cord lock positions wherever required. The cords shall be diameter rope made of 4.5 Duro Nylon or approved equal and shall be attached underneath the center of the bottom of the hemline bar.

2.1.7 Shade Roller

Shades shall be mounted on 1 ¾-inch diameter metal wrapped rollers. The rollers shall be spring loaded, single piece barrel, with a reusable safety cotter key type retainer installed through both endpins and washers to prevent roller from falling out of mounting brackets. Constant tension in shade is required. Mounting brackets shall be Plastic-View, Simi Valley, CA, PV 128-205A and B, or approved equal with a 2 ¼-inch resting ledge. A label stating “This End Down” with an arrow pointing in the proper installation direction of the roller into the mounting brackets shall be placed on the spring motor end of each shade roller. A number sticker on the bottom of the K-Bars, with each shade’s number, this side in saving installation time and eliminates the possibility of putting wrong shade in wrong brackets during shade washing, cab painting, ceiling work, etc. The shade film laminate material shall be mounted on rollers to minimize ridging. Roll-off direction of material form roller shall be as directed by the architect or shade manufacturer for use in this specific tower cab. Each shade shall have a label or other suitable means required to specify and identify the proper roll-off direction, as called for by NAFEC/National Test Center.

Horizontal seam shall be located a minimum of 70 inches from the bottom of the shade. Shades in ATCT cab shall be bias cut to conform to shape of window when possible. To ensure a safe roll-up a minimum of 15 inches of shade material shall remain on the roller when the shade is fully extended.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

Shades shall be securely installed in shade recess pockets or wood or metal plates as indicated. Shades shall follow the slope of cab glass as closely as practical within physical limitations of air ducts and other equipment. No drilling is to be done in cab mullions, as some mullions contain electrical cables or rain drainage spouts. Spring tension in roller shall be manually adjusted so that shades roll up easily. The installer shall make two knots in the shade cord to safely control and limit the shade travel. The second knot is to be placed after the lock pulley to prevent the metal hemline bar from hitting and overrunning the shade roller.

Adherence to the “This End Down” label when installing shade will prevent improper roller installation which can result in a locked shade situation when the metal bar hemline is near the lock pulley and cannot be pulled down to release the spring motor cam lock. Adjust the uppermost and lowermost limits.

3.2 LOCATION

Install shades on all windows of the Tower Cab. Carefully check the dimensions of all finished openings for exact sizing of the shades.
