Product: aluminium flatbar Juliet for 900mm CLEAR STRUCTURAL REVEAL OPENING;
outside metal890mm,5mm packing each side,rail span866mm.
Do not treat opening as panel width or verified safe span. Proposed top/bottom1100/50mm
and lower strip centres270/90mm depend on unverified standing/sill/window datum.
Obtain explicit openings/height/climbability/accessibility/window-operation review.
Candidate6082-T6:certify grade/form/temper and accept parent/HAZ/weld design properties.
Sections60x10top,50x10uprights,two80x10mm lower strips, broad faces VERTICAL across
EVERY upright, fully face-welded;continuous rails/strips,no midrun splices,flush reveals.
Two nominal80mm4mm-leg geometric weld lines are not the72mm analytical effective-length
trial or a qualified WPS/throat/filler/directional resistance/joint-rigidity claim.
Support only at BOTH structural reveals, top rail and lower strip ends. No balcony
slab/intermediate fascia restraints. Top plate12mm x-thickness,y0..60,z980..1100mm;
lower plate12mm,y-10..60,z50..310mm. Proxy14mm holes at y30,top z1000/1060,
lower z90/270mm. Survey actual substrate/build-ups/edge distances/access and accept
selected anchors,packing/bearing/isolation,embedment/cure/torque,plate/weld resistance.
Adopt jurisdiction/use/actions/combinations/serviceability and durability schedule.
Existing normal/vertical/gravity results are sensitivities;gravity lumps only some
member mass and does not recover selfweight stresses. Complete actual resistance,
connections/supports and full actions;obtain competent independent verification and
appropriate representative physical evidence before final technical release.
Select aluminium coating/preparation/colour/thickness/gloss/repair and exposure/isolation;
issue accepted fabrication/fit tolerances,drawings,inspection,installation/lifting/access
and temporary edge-protection method. Record material/weld/finish/anchor QA and as-built
IDs;handover approved care and confirmed warranty/environmental evidence. No BIM supplied.
No origin,tested rating,stock,leadtime,finished price or NBS listing claimed.
