TERMINOLOGY

The following terminology is used throughout this manual :

Standard Configuration :

Windows of this configuration provide an equal glass sight line by using the VS03 small sash for the top vent, and VS04 for the bottom vent.

Heavy Duty Configuration :

For windows of larger overall dimensions, the standard sash (VS04) may be used to produce both the bottom and top sash. The aluminium interlock is required to give additional rigidity. (see section 4)

SAFETY

It is important to emphasize to the fabricators and fitters of this window, that the

balances are supplied pre-tensioned, therefore care should be taken when :

- working with unglazed windows,

- working with windows where the weight of the sash is not held by the balance

(i.e. when the window is on its side or lay flat).

The following precaution should be taken to ensure the safety of the fitter during

fabrication :

A length of VS10 Sash stop should be clipped into the top balance channel to

restrict the lower sash movement to a minimum.

CUTTING CALCULATIONS

PROFILES.

The tables and calculated examples on the following pages cover vertical sliding windows with the following characteristics:

VS01 Outer frame VS02 150mm Cill VS14 210mm Cill VS03 Small Sash VS04 Standard Sash VS05 Sash Bottom Rail VS09 Interlock

VS10 Sash Stop VS14 210mm Cill Glass Clearance = 6mm Internally Glazed Only.

CRITERIA.

Basic dimensions for manufacturing calculations are:

- Overall outer frame.

CILLS AND PACKERS.

Survey dimensions include cill and stacking packers. Allow for these when deriving basic dimensions for manufacturing.

WELD BURN-OFF.

All PVC-u cutting dimensions for welded construction include a burn-off allowance of 2.5mm per end, per weld i.e. 5mm per bar.

MECHANICAL JOINTS.

Cutting dimensions for mechanical joints are to suit Spectus recommended cutters for end milling.

DEDUCTIONS.

The tables on the following pages show the amounts to be added to or subtracted from the basic dimensions to give correct bar lengths for fabrication and the correct glass sizes allowing clearance for spacers and packing blocks.

Note: All cutting sizes calculated from the following tables are to the longest points of the bars.

ie. VS01 jambs are measured from the end of the mitre to the point of the 5deg end.

REINFORCEMENT.

Reinforcement requirements and calculations for cutting sizes are shown in ‘Section 6’.

SASH STOP.

Bottom sash stop lengths for unequal sash splits the following applies:

For every 25mm that the top sash is smaller than equal split, 50mm must be added to the bottom sash stop length. This is to compensate for the 25mm shorter balance length and the loss of 50mm of travel.

REINFORCEMENT

Reinforcement Requirements.

Spectus aluminium / steel reinforcement must be used where applicable. In

all cases, reinforcement should be continuous and unbroken, otherwise the

Spectus warranty will be invalidated.

Spectus

recommended minimum reinforcement requirements are as follows:

WHITE PROFILE

In the head and side jambs of the outerframe. In all members of both the top and

bottom sashes. Where ‘trickle’ vents are to be fit to the head section, reinforcement

should be broken around routed area to allow ventilation.

FOILED PROFILE

As white profile.

DRAINAGE

Drainage slots can be machined using a preset drainage machine or by a hand router.

All horizontal member, except the heads of frames and vents, require water slots

- 5mm wide x 30mm long.

Drainage slots should be cut in the outside chamber of the profile, never in the reinforcement chamber.

Drainage slots should be staggered to avoid blow back.

Spectus recommend that cill / concealed drainage is the normal practice. However a situation where face drainage is required, drainage slots should be positioned appropriately for aesthetics. They can then be concealed using a face drain cover cap. Cross sectional positions and horizontal drainage locations are shown below.

HARDWARE PREPARATION

After fabrication of internally glazed windows, 5mm diameter pressure equalisation holes should be drilled into the head to aid drainage by preventing partial vacuum.

All woodgrain and dark surfaced profiles must have ventilation holes into any chambers which are sealed due to welding. The holes should be positioned in non visible areas.

Insert Hole Location.

Holes are required in the outerframe for the balance inserts to be located in. They are of diameter 7mm. They are located centrally in the balance chamber, and vertically as indicated in the diagram below. A jig (VSJ01) is available to assist in the drilling of the outerframe. The hole should be drilled through the whole section of the profile. 25 25 45deg. Diagram showing jig VSJ01 location

Part No. 900001

The inserts are applied to the outerframe using the appropriate tooling.

Note : The compression force of the insert applicator should be tested and tuned before it is used to apply the insert to the window. This is to ensure that it does not distort or damage the profile.

(36)

HARDWARE PREPARATION

Sash Preparation for Pivot bars.

A hole is required in the bottom corners of each of the sashes side members to provide clearance for the plastic split pin that is used to secure the pivot bars in the housing units. An 8mm hole is required to give sufficient clearance for the split pin. The hole position is as shown. The hole needs only to go through one wall of the plastic extrusion.

The pivot bar channel may be used to locate the position of the hole. The channel should be

located in the corner of the balance channel. _148.5

Sash Preparation for Restrictor Quick Release.

‘x’

12.0

8mm dia.

A slot is required on each side member of the sashes. They are required to give clearance when the restrictor quick release device is used.

Dependant on the length of the tilt restrictor arm, the distance ‘x’ is derived.

- ‘x’ for short restrictor arm = 380mm - ‘x’ for long restrictor arm = 510mm

If transom height or drop is 649 or less, use the short restrictor arm.

If transom height or drop is 650 or over use the long restrictor arm.

The slot passes through one wall of the extrusion, and is has overall size of 8mm x 20mm as shown.

Note: When horns are fitted dim ‘x’ is measured from the bottom of the horn. Alternatively deduct 70mm from dim ‘x’ and measure from the bottom of the sash.

Routing Details for Trickle Vents

Trickle vents can be fitted through the head of the top sash. The VS03 sash will accomodate vent slots up to 10mm only. If wider slots are required ie. to achieve 8000mm sq free area then the top sash must be made using the VS04 sash profile. Alternatively there are many glazed in vents available to suit any air flow specification that can be used with any sash profile.

Where ‘trickle’ vents are to be fit to the head section, reinforcement should be broken around routed area to allow ventilation.

Note: Glazed in vents will affect the glass size and may affect the sash weight. Consult the balance supplier for advise.

Bottom Rail End Preparation

:

The bottom rail should be end milled with the detail shown below. This ensures a flush joint with the side members of the sash.

Drilling Details

:

The two side members of the bottom sash must be prepared before the bottom rail is fixed to it. The bubble seal should be cut back 60mm (as shown), and then the profile should be pre-drilled using the VSJ05.

The jig (VSJ05) is located as shown. Two 5mm diameter holes are then drilled through the section, these are to provide clearance for the two screws used to mechanically join the bottom rail.

Bottom Rail & Sash

Assembly

:

The VSM06 mouldings (left & right handed) are required when assembling the bottom rail with the side members.

1) Insert the moulding into the bottom of the sash side member. The screws pass through the clearance holes in the moulding and into the screw ports in the side members profile.

2) Locate the moulding in the bottom rail using the location lugs. Then using two screws, secure the side member to the bottom rail. The screws pass through the clearance holes in the side members and into the screw ports in the bottom rail reinforcement (VSR4S).

Cill Drilling Details

:

The cill (VS02 or VS14) is to be drilled at both ends. The drill jig (VSJ02) is positioned as shown. The arrows show the direction of the force required to locate the jig.

Four holes are to be drilled through the cill section. The holes are required for mechanically joining the outer frames vertical members to the cill. A 5mm diameter drill should be used to give clearance holes for the screws used to secure the outer frame.

Fastening Side Jambs

:

Each of the side jambs is attached to the cill using four screws. The screws pass up through the cill (through the clearance holes), they are then screwed into the screw ports in the outerframe profile. This ensures that the side jambs are located correctly.

When fixing the cill, ensure the following has been done :

1) The pile seal has been put in both the cill and the outerframe.

2) That all of the necessary slide gearing has been put into the relevant chambers.

3) The bottom of each of the side jambs has been cut at 5 degrees (in the correct direction).

Self tap screw

Note:

The cill jig is designed for use with cills cut to the overall width of the window. If the cill size has been adjusted to allow for the end caps then they must be fitted prior to positioning the jig.

b. In the case of the bottom sash, no head stop.

Replace with the correct balance.

Check if the head stop fitted and is of correct dimensions. Noisy operation of the

balance. Bent rod. Replace balance.

Balance takes tension then suddenly loses tension. Rotation often accompanied by clicking noise.

Reverse turns have been applied somewhere down the line.

Replace balance, but if this fault becomes common, supplier should be contacted as a basic error is occurring in fixing.

Sash not holding up. Insufficient Tension. Apply more turns equally to each balance.

Sash jumping up. Too much tension. Reduce number of turns equally on each balance. Sash will not hold even after

the application of more turns. a. Balance broken probably. See (E). b. Balance is not strong enough for the sash weight.

Check sash weight against the limitations of the sash. Balance totally jams on

applications of too many turns. Rod will not move at all.

Balance has been tensioned and spring has collapsed ‘gripping the rod’.

Balance broken. Check weight of sash and ensure correct balance has been incorporated.

Sash drops at top position

but jumps from cills. Too strong a balance for this application. Use balance of lower capacity. Pivot bars bending. a. Window is ‘bowed’ as a

result of installation. b. Jamb section too small. c. Pivot bars inserted too far.

Adjust window fixing. Consult profile supplier. Adjust pivot bars.

Non-Tilt Sashes.

For applications of the window where there is no tilting of the sashes required, or where the weight of the sashes exceeds 35kg, the tilt latches can be locked in position.

This can be achieved by locking of the tilt latches in their closed position. This is done by drilling a 4mm hole through the tilt bar, insuring that the hole is in line with the countersink in the casing. A screw can then be fastened through this hole and into the sash. This prevents the movement of the tilt latch.

Tape supplier recommendations.

Clean all application surfaces.

All surfaces should be clean and free of dust, moisture and oil residues. Normally a clean paper towel should be sufficient to remove most surface contaminants, but the use of a Isopropanol wipe may be benificial.

Apply pressure for secure adhesion.

These are ‘pressure sensitive adhesive products’ and require good overall pressure to secure the adhesive to the first surface, and the same pressure again for the second surface.

Allow time to achieve full bonding capability.

These adhesives should perform well in many difficult enviromental conditions, but will activate more redily if applied at normal room temperature. The bond strength will then continue to increase after the initial application. Many of the adhesives will reach their full bond strength within an hour, but the PURE Acrylic adhesives may take longer depending on application temperature conditions.

Apply in correct temperature conditions.

If the surface, or the tape, are too cold this will affect the bonding ability of the adhesive. This will tend to make the adhesive dryer to the touch, and could therefore, take longer to achieve its full bonding potential.

Preferred applying temperature :

no less than 10C, and ideally between 20C and 25C.

Allow for atmospheric changes.

Be aware of atmospheric changes, such as taking a glazed unit from the stores into a warm work area. This may cause surfaces to be coated with an invisible layer of condensation.

Correct storage conditions.

These adhesive products should be stored upright, in the original cartons, in dry conditions, away from direct heat sources. Stock should be rotated and used within 12 months.

INSTALLATION

Frame Fixing.

As well as the method shown below, frames can also be fixed through the balance channels, but care must be taken not to distort the chamber when tightening the screws. To position a fixing in the top half of the window it will be necessary to remove the balances.

Extreme care should be taken when removing balances, as they will be under tension and the sash weight will not be supported.

(Refer to the balance manufacturers instructions before removing balances).

Alternative fixing positions

(see note above).

The new frame should be placed into the opening and packed under the cill ensuring that it is level. The frame should then be wedged temporarily with timber to hold it in position. Adjust the wedging until the frame is standing vertically, and the jambs are true from side to side. This is of utmost importance for the correct operation of the window.

Fixing should be a minimum of 250mm from the corners with maximum centres of 600mm. Before final tightening, the frame should be packed at screw positions with approved shims.
