Installation Notes - Ykk ap YES 45 FS Installation Manual

YES 45 FS/FI Storefront System

Installation Notes

1. Do not drop, roll or drag boxes of aluminum framing. Move and stack boxes with proper support
to prevent distortion. If fork lifts are used be especially careful about striking the boxes when lifting
or moving.
2. Store in a dry, out of the way area. If rain exposure, condensation or any water contact is likely,
then all packaging material should be removed. Wet packaging materials will discolor and may stain
aluminum finishes and paints.
3. All materials should be checked for quality and quantity upon receipt, YKK AP must be notified
immediately of any discrepancies in shipment. Check to make sure that you have the required
shims, sealants, supplies and tools necessary for the installation.
4. Carefully check the openings and surrounding conditions that will receive your material.
Remember, if the construction is not per the construction documents, it is your responsibility to
notify the general contractor in writing. Any discrepancies must be brought to the general
contractor's attention before you proceed with the installation.
5. Gather your shop drawings, materials, packing list, and this installation manual. Carefully review
parts location, the sequence it goes therein, when you glaze it and how you seal it. Installation
instructions are of a general nature and may not cover every condition you will encounter. The shop
drawings and/or installation manuals were prepared specifically for the product.
6. Any material substitutions must be of equal or greater quality.
7. Make certain that material samples have been sent for compatibility testing for all manufacturer's
sealants involved. Make certain sealants have been installed in strict accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations and specifications.
8. Remember to isolate, in an approved manner, all aluminum from uncured masonry or other
incompatible materials.
9. System-to-structure fasteners are not supplied by YKK AP. Fasteners called out on shop
drawings are to indicate minimum sizes for design loading.
10. Entrances are to be installed plumb, square, level and true.
11. If any questions arise concerning YKK AP products or their installation, contact YKK AP for
clarification before proceeding.
12. YKK AP storefront and/or curtain wall framing is typically completed before drywall, flooring and
other products which may still be in process. Take the extra time to wrap and protect the work pro-
duced.
13. Cutting tolerances are plus zero (0"), minus one thirty second (-1/32") unless otherwise noted.
