PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1                    EXAMINATION

A.              Examine substrates to which gypsum board shaft wall assemblies attach or abut, with Installer present, including hollow-metal frames, elevator hoistway door frames, cast-in anchors, and structural framing.  Examine for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance.

B.              Examine panels before installation.  Reject panels that are wet, moisture damaged, or mold damaged.

C.              Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2                    PREPARATION

A.              Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials:  Coordinate with gypsum board shaft wall assemblies so both elements of Work remain complete and undamaged.  Patch or replace sprayed fire-resistive materials removed or damaged during installation of shaft wall assemblies to comply with requirements specified in Section 07 81 00 "Applied Fireproofing."

B.              After sprayed fire-resistive materials are applied, remove only to extent necessary for installation of gypsum board shaft wall assemblies and without reducing the fire-resistive material thickness below that which is required to obtain fire-resistance rating indicated.  Protect remaining fire-resistive materials from damage.

3.3                    INSTALLATION

A.              General:  Install gypsum board shaft wall assemblies to comply with requirements of fire-resistance-rated assemblies indicated, manufacturer's written installation instructions, and ASTM C 754 other than stud-spacing requirements.

B.              Do not bridge building expansion joints with shaft wall assemblies; frame both sides of expansion joints with furring and other support.

C.              Install supplementary framing in gypsum board shaft wall assemblies around openings and as required for blocking, bracing, and support of gravity and pullout loads of fixtures, equipment, services, heavy trim, furnishings, wall-mounted door stops, and similar items that cannot be supported directly by shaft wall assembly framing.

1.              Elevator Hoistway:  At elevator hoistway-entrance door frames, provide jamb struts on each side of door frame.

2.              Reinforcing:  Where handrails directly attach to gypsum board shaft wall assemblies, provide galvanized steel reinforcing strip with 0.033-inch (0.84-mm)  minimum thickness of base metal (uncoated), accurately positioned and secured behind at least one layer of face panel.

 D.             Penetrations:  At penetrations in shaft wall, maintain fire-resistance rating of shaft wall assembly by installing supplementary steel framing around perimeter of penetration and fire protection behind boxes containing wiring devices, elevator call buttons, elevator floor indicators, and similar items.

E.              Isolate perimeter of gypsum panels from building structure to prevent cracking of panels, while maintaining continuity of fire-rated construction.

F.               Firestop Tracks:  Where indicated, install to maintain continuity of fire-resistance-rated assembly indicated.

G.             Control Joints:  Install control joints at locations indicated on Drawings  while maintaining fire-resistance rating of gypsum board shaft wall assemblies.

H.             Sound-Rated Shaft Wall Assemblies:  Seal gypsum board shaft walls with acoustical sealant at perimeter of each assembly where it abuts other work and at joints and penetrations within each assembly.

I.                Installation Tolerance:  Install each framing member so fastening surfaces vary not more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the plane formed by faces of adjacent framing.

3.4                    PROTECTION

A.              Protect installed products from damage from weather, condensation, direct sunlight, construction, and other causes during remainder of the construction period.

B.              Remove and replace panels that are wet, moisture damaged, or mold damaged.

1.Indications that panels are wet or moisture damaged include, but are not limited to, discoloration, sagging, and irregular shape.

2.              Indications that panels are mold damaged include, but are not limited to, fuzzy or splotchy surface contamination and discoloration.
