-
All aluminum components shall be extruded aluminum
alloy 6061-T6
-
Deflection under live load:
The foot grilles shall be so conceived so as to accept a minimum uniform
load of 730 Newton applied over a 4 square inch (100mm) surface in order to
obtain a 1/180" deflection over a 4'-0" (1220 mm) span.
-
The perimeter frames shall be
an inverted "T" shape such as model "VV" by Bolar, in
order to anchor the structure into the concrete. For sections larger than
6'-0 * 8'-0 ( 2000mm * 2400mm ) a mechanical joint is to be provided, (if
specified).
OR
The perimeter frames shall be " L " shaped such as model
"AD" by Bolar, for existing openings. For sections larger than
6'-0 * 8'-0 (1828mm x 2438mm) a mechanical joint is to be provided (if
specified).
OR
The perimeter frames shall be "Z" shaped such as model "TT"
by Bolar. For installation over finished floor surfaces. For sections larger
than 6'-0 * 8'-0 (1828mm x 2438mm) a mechanical joint is to be provided (if
specified). A silicone joint is to be applied between the frame and the
finished floor to prevent any water infiltration (by others).
-
Blades shall be "T"
shaped, size: 3/8" * 1/8" * 3/4" (9.5mm * 3mm * 19mm).
Spacing between blades is not to exceed 3/16" (4.7mm). Such as model
BA-3/4 by Bolar. Overall depth: 1 3/4" (45mm) from finished floor.
-
Spacing between blades and
retaining rods shall be so as to meet manufacturer's specifications for the
minimum weight capacity. Foot grille will be manufactured in sections so as
to increase ease of maintenance.
-
The frames will be supplied
with a pan. Pan shall be of 20 gauge stainless steel, no drain.
OR
The frames will be supplied with a pan. Pan shall be of 20 gauge galvanized
steel. Coat all surfaces in contact with masonry with two coats of
bituminous paint.
OR
The frames will be supplied without a pan. A coat of waterproofing is to be
applied to the concrete base to avoid water infiltration (by others).
-
The sections shall have a
friction coefficient of 1,22 and a cleaning efficiency of 49 %, percentage
of opening shall be 40%.
-
The deformation under lateral
charge is not to exceed 8 (visual) after application of a maximal charge of
6130 Newton (1380 pounds) at a 45 degree angle in relation to the surface.
-
All sections shall be in
accordance with ASTM B117 norms, and be able to sustain a 1000 hours salt
fog without any notable changes.
-
Manufacturer shall be able to
confirm this data and be able to supply architect with all necessary reports
and shop drawings.
Installation:
-
The foot-grille sections will be installed in their
frames, as a last item, to prevent damages during construction. Install all
foot grilles, square and level with finished floor so as to permit easy
manipulation of all sections. All frame members and intermediary supports
are to be level and well supported on all their lengths in order to avoid
any deflection over a long term period.
-
All frames and pans are to be thoroughly cleaned before
installing any grille section in order for them not to exceed finished floor
level. All sound gaskets damaged during installation, are to be replaced
before final inspection. Protect grilles from construction traffic. Install
all hinges (if required). Verify that all latches are in a closed position and
properly greased (if required).
ACCESSORIES/OPTIONS
Option #1: Hinges and lock notch: [Not applicable for this
model]
All sections of grille will be supplied with hinges and lock notch. The
hinges and lock notch will be fabricated in stainless steel and installed on the
grille by the manufacturer. They will be attached to the frame by the general
contractor and verified by the architect prior to final approbation.
Option #2: Hinges and lock notch with GB-46 lock downs: [Not
applicable for this model]
All sections of grilles will be supplied with a combination hinges/lock
notch and lock downs model GB-46. The hinges and lock notch will be fabricated
in stainless steel and installed on the grille by the manufacturer. The lock
downs will be fabricated of galvanized steel and Teflon, they will be attached
to the grille sections by the manufacturer. The lock downs will be supplied with
a special key for easy of operation (one per vestibule). All lock downs have to

general contractor. We recommend they be greased at least 4 times a year. All
systems to be verified by the architect prior to final approbation.
Option #3: Lock downs GB-46 (4 per grilles): 
All sections of grille will be supplied with a lock downs mechanism GB-46 (4
per sections of grille). The lock downs will be fabricated of galvanized stele
and Teflon, they will be attached to the grille sections by the manufacturer.
The lock downs will be supplied with a special key for easy of operation (one
per vestibule). All lock downs have to be greased (BSRS 2000 water resistant))
at the time of installation by the general contractor. We recommend they be
greased at least 4 times a year. All systems to be verified by the architect
prior to final approbation.
Option #4: Plates and screws: 
Installed by the manufacturer at each sections corner, they must be attached
to the frame by the general contractor using the screws supplied by the
manufacturer. Installation to be verified by the architect prior to final
approbation.
Option #5: Lifting hooks:
All grilles will be supplied with lifting hooks in order to provide easy
lifting of sections without efforts or risk of damaging the grille surface's
