JOB CONDITIONS A. Examine the substrates and supporting structure and the conditions under which the carpentry work is to be installed, and remedy any conditions detrimental to work. Do not proceed with installation until the satisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to the Installer. Fit carpentry work to other works scribe and cope as required for accurate fit. Correlate location of furring, nailers, blocking, grounds and similar supports to allow proper attachment of other work.

specified in PS-20. B. C. Provide dressed lumber, S4S (smooth 4 sides), of approved specie and of a standard grade. Provide seasoned lumber with 15 percent maximum moisture content at time of dressing. After pressure treatment, kiln-dry lumber to 15 percent maximum moisture content. Miscellaneous Lumber: Provide wood for support or attachment of other work such as cant strips, bucks, nailers, blocking, furring, grounds, stripping and similar members, where indicated on Drawings.

D.

2.2

PLYWOOD A. Concealed Plywood: Where plywood will be concealed by other work, provide interior type plywood C - D, Plugged Grade, unless otherwise specified. Plywood surfaces shall be fire-retardant coated: 1. For backing panels for fascia panels, electrical or telephone equipment provide fire-retardant treated standard grade plywood with exterior glue.

2.3

MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS A. Anchors and Fasteners: Select proper type, size, material, and finish for each application.

2.4

WOOD TREATMENT A. Preservative Treatment: 1. General: Preservative-treated lumber, except where indicated for other treatment, to comply with the applicable requirements of the American Wood Preservers Bureau, available from AWPB. Treated items shall be AWPB quality marked for the specified requirements. Pressure treat the following items with water-borne preservative for above ground use, complying with AWPB LP-2. Kiln-dry wood to a maximum moisture content of 15 percent after treatment. a. b. Wood cants, nailers, blocking, stripping, and similar members in connection with roofing, flashing, vapor barriers, and waterproofing. Wood sills, sleepers, blocking, furring, stripping, and similar concealed members in contact with masonry, concrete, and below grade. Exposed woodwork shown or scheduled as Treated Wood or Treated and all wood members less than 600 mm above grade.

General: Where Fire-Retardant-Treated lumber is indicated, comply with AWPB standards for pressure impregnation with fire-retardant chemicals to achieve a flame spread rating of not more than 25 when tested in accordance with UL 723, ASTM E 84,or NFPA 855. Where transparent or paint finish is shown or scheduled for Fire-RetardantTreated wood, use a fire-retardant treatment which will not bleed through or adversely affect bond of finish. Complete fabrication prior to treatment, wherever possible, to minimize cutting and jointing after treatment. Coat surfaces cut after treatment with a heavy brush coat of the same fire-retardant chemical. Kiln-dry lumber and plywood to a maximum moisture content of 15 percent after treatment. Inspect each piece of lumber after drying. Do not use twisted, warped, bowed, or otherwise damaged or defective pieces. Provide UL label on each piece of fire-retardant treated lumber and plywood.

4. 5. 6. D.

Complete fabrication of treated items prior to treatment, wherever possible. If cut after treatment, cut surfaces shall be coated with heavy brush coat of same chemical used for treatment. Each piece of lumber or plywood shall be inspected after drying and damaged or defective pieces shall be discarded.

PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 INSTALLATION A. Discard units of material which are unsound, warped, bowed, twisted, improperly treated, not adequately seasoned or too small to fabricate the work with a minimum of joints or the optimum jointing arrangement. Fit carpentry work to other work. Scribe and cope as required for accurate fit. Set carpentry work accurately to required levels and lines with members plumb and true. Shim with metal or slate for bearing on concrete and masonry substrate. Where indicated, provide with 1-3 Portland cement-sand grout for full-bearing. Securely attach carpentry work to substrates by anchoring and fastening as shown and as required by recognized standards. Provide washers under bolt heads and nuts in contact with wood. Countersink nail heads on exposed carpentry work and fill holes. Fasteners: Use common wire nails, except as otherwise shown or specified herein. Use finishing nails for exposed work. Do not wax or lubricate fasteners that depend on friction for holding power. Select fasteners of size that will not penetrate members where opposite side will be exposed to view or will receive finish materials. Make tight connections between members. Install fasteners without splitting of wood; pre-drill as required. Do not drive threaded friction-type fasteners; turn into place. Tighten bolts and lag screws at installation and retighten as required for tight connections prior to closing in or at completion of work.
