b.	Standard Clear Anodized Finish - AA-C22A41, medium matte etched finish with 0.7 mil minimum thick anodic coating.  (Available only for: WJ, BWF, BWF/W, NBW, NBW/W, and SW.
B.	Factory-Primed Concealed Surfaces:  Protect concealed metal surfaces that will be in contact with concrete and masonry surfaces when installed by applying a shop coat of manufacturer’s standard primer to contact surfaces.
1.	Minimum dry film thickness:  2.0 mils.
PART 3 - 	EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Comply with Section [01700].
B.	Verify that joint preparation and affected dimensions are acceptable.
C.	Verify tolerances and correct improper conditions.
3.2	pREPARATION
A.	Provide templates, as required, to related trades for location of supports and anchorage items.
3.3	INSTALLATION
A.	In addition to requirements specified herein, comply with manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for all phases of Work, including preparation of substrate, applying materials, and protection of installed units.
B.	Provide anchorage devices and fasteners where necessary for securing expansion joint cover assemblies to in-place construction, including threaded fasteners with drill-in fasteners for masonry and concrete where anchoring members are not embedded.  Provide fasteners of metal, type, and size to suit type of construction indicated.  Provide for secure attachment of expansion joint cover assemblies.
C.	Perform cutting, drilling, and fitting required for installation of expansion joint covers.  Install joint cover assemblies in true alignment and in proper relationship to expansion joints and adjoining finished surfaces measured from established lines and levels.
D.	Allow adequate free movement for thermal expansion and contraction of metal to avoid buckling.
E.	Set floor covers at elevations to be flush with adjacent finished floor materials.  If necessary, shim to level, but ensure base frames have continual support to prevent rocking and vertical deflection.
F.	Locate wall, ceiling, and soffit covers in continuous contact with adjacent surfaces.  Securely attach in place with required accessories.
G.	Locate anchors at intervals recommended by manufacturer, but not less than 3 inches from each end and not more than 24 inches on center.
H.	Maintain continuity of expansion joint cover assemblies with end joints held to a minimum and metal members aligned mechanically using splice joints.  Cut and fit ends to produce joints that will accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of metal to avoid buckling of frames.
I.	Adhere flexible filler materials, if any, to frames with adhesive or pressure sensitive tape as recommended by manufacturer.
1.	Installation of Extruded Preformed Seals:  Install seals per manufacturer’s instructions and with minimum number of end joints.
2.	For straight sections, provide preformed seals in continuous lengths.
3.	Vulcanize or heat-seal field splice joints using manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
4.	Apply manufacture’s approved adhesive, epoxy, or lubricant adhesive to both frame interfaces prior to installing preformed seal.
5.	Seal transitions in compliance with manufacturer’s instructions.
J.	Installation of Elastomeric Sealant Joint Assemblies:
1.	Seal end joints within continuous runs and joints at transitions per manufacturer’s directions to provide a watertight installation.
2.	Install exterior flexible seal in standard lengths.
3.	Seal transitions and butt joints per manufacturer’s instructions.
K.	Installation of Seismic Seals:
1.	Install secondary seals in continuous lengths.  Vulcanize field splice joints in secondary seal material to provide watertight joints using manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
2.	Install primary flexible seals in standard lengths.
3.	Seal transitions and butt joints per manufacturer’s instructions.
L.	Installation of Fire Barrier:
1.	Install fire barrier per [2000 International Building Code] [applicable building codes] using manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
2.	Install transition and end joints per manufacturer’s instructions to provide continuous fire resistance.
3.	Miter-cut fire barriers in field to accommodate changes in direction.
3.4	FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A.	Comply with Section [01460].
B.	Provide inspection of expansion joint installation processes, and certify in writing, to Architect, that systems have been installed per Contract Documents.
3.5	CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A.	Do not remove strippable protective material until finish Work in adjacent areas is complete.  When protective material is removed, clean exposed metal surfaces to comply with manufacturer’s instructions.
B.	Do not permit construction traffic over unprotected floor joint surfaces.
