1. Fabricate glass and other glazing products in sizes required to glaze openings indicated for project, with edge and face clearances, edge and surface conditions, and bite complying with recommendations of product manufacturer and referenced glazing standard as required to comply with system performance requirements.

1. Examine glass and framing, with glazier present, for compliance with the following:
   1. Manufacturing and installation tolerances, including this for size, squareness, offsets at corners.
   2. Minimum required face or edge clearances
   3. Observable edge damage or face imperfections.
2. Do not proceed with glazing until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3. Clean glazing channels and other framing members receiving glass immediately before glazing. Remove coatings that are not firmly bonded to substrates.

1. Comply with referenced FGMA glazing manual and instructions of manufacturers of glass, glazing sealants, and glazing compounds.
2. Protect glass from edge damage during installation and handling. Inspect glass during installation and set aside pieces with edge damage that could affect performance.
3. Set units of glass in each series with uniformity of pattern, draw, bow and similar characteristics.
4. Cut glazing tape to length and set against permanent stops, flush with sight lines to fit openings exactly, with stretch allowance during installation.
5. Place setting blocks located at quarter points of glass with edge block no more than 8 inches from corner.
6. Glaze vertically into labeled frames with the same fire rating as glass and push against tape for full contact at perimeter of pane or unit.
7. Place glazing tape on free perimeter of glazing in same manner as described above.
8. Install removable stop and secure without displacing tape or glazing compound.
9. Knife trim protruding tape.
