so as not to be adversely affected by soil, vermin and

water.

507-2 CAULKING AND JOINT SEALANTS

Materials used for caulking and sealants shall be

suitable for the use intended, and shall be compatible

with the materials to which they are applied and with any

finish that may be applied over them.

508-1 PERFORMANCE TESTING

All windows and sliding glass doors shall be tested for

air infiltration, water penetration and physical loading

as set forth in Appendix D. The test unit shall be

either the largest size marketed by the manufacturer or

the size designated in the referenced standard. All

windows and sliding glass doors shall meet or exceed the

minimum performance levels set forth in Appendix D.
