WEATHERSTRIPPING DOORS
WE 1.0—General Requirements for Weatherstripping
The surface to which weather-stripping is applied shall be clean, even and free of defective weather-stripping, dirt and loose paint. Weather-stripping shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. All aspects of this measure described herein must meet the requirements of the specifications, in order to qualify for an incentive.
Surface-mounted weather-stripping shall be installed to ensure that the weather-stripping sufficiently contacts both surfaces and that gaps are adequately sealed. Weather-stripping shall be installed in one continuous strip, if possible, along each joint of the door, and form an effective seal.
All mounting screws, nails, staples or other fastener devices shall be of a non-corrosive material compatible with the weather-stripping material installed. Weather-stripping material shall be secured with mounting screws or nails. In no case shall fasteners be over 12 inches apart or more than 2 inches from a corner.
Upon completion of the job, all doors that have new weather-stripping shall open and close without undue force and provide a weather-resistant seal. All four sides of the door shall be weather-stripped unless waived by HES. Door latches and dead bolts shall work without undue force caused by the weather-stripping.
