4. Prepare and provide slots and/or holes in overhead structure for installation of glass panels suspension hangers as described in Section 3 and carry out same for glass fins.

5. Sub-assembly of top glass panel with hanger bracket as described in Section 3.

6. Erection of glass fins are described in Section 4.

7. Erect glass panels as described in Section 3 herein.

8. Check alignments of glass spacings and gap between panel and glass fin and check correct allowances for gap between:-

(a) panel to panel 5 to 6 mm
(b) panel to fin 6 to 10 mm
(c) panel to door panel vertical gap 4 to 6 mm
(d) transom panel to door panel horizontal gap 5 to 8 mm
(e) central panel and bottom panel 5 to 8 mm

HANDLING
It is essential to handle the fittings components with utmost care and protect the highly polished surfaces of the component.

Screws, bolts and nuts must be prevented from drops, knocks, or crashing against one another which may cause damage to the thread of the screws and bend the shaft of the bolts.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:

1. On completion of the installation, check all nuts and bolts that fix the Fin Brackets to the Structure. Ensure that there has been no relaxation of the fixings into the structure.

2. Check all countersunk fixings: a) Ø60 Disc tightness against the glass.
b) m10 nut fixing swivel assembly to the spider arm.

3. Check all splice fin bolts and nuts, ensuring that they stay tightened to the required torque setting.

4. Repeat check of all nuts and bolts fixing the Fin brackets to the structure 6 months after completion and then every subsequent 12 months.
