otherwise damaged or defaced to such extent as to impair strength or appearance. Remove and replace members damaged in the process of erection, as directed.

I. Set units level, plumb and true to line, with uniform joints. Support on metal

shims and secure in place by bolting to clip angles and similar supports anchored to supporting structure. Use only the tapes of equipment, ropes, wedges, spacers, shims and other items during erection, which will not stain or mark the finish of units.

of bituminous paint, or provide other separation as per manufacturer's recommendations.

K. Weld with electrodes and by methods recommended by manufacturer of

material being welded, and in accordance with appropriate recommendations of the AWS. Use only methods which will avoid distortion or discolouration of exposed faced. Grind exposed welds smooth, using only clean wheels and compounds which are free of iron or iron compounds. Restore finish of component parts after welding and grinding.

L. Solder and braze only to fill or seal joints (not to form structural joints), and in

accordance with component part manufacturer's recommendations. Grind smooth and restore finish.
