The system may also be installed without a top rail or handrail with monolithic or laminated glass panels
when use as a spa or pool barrier and installed in accordance with Section 4.2.6. This use is limited to
configurations in which the system is not required to function as a guard or handrail.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 General:
The Glass Vice Glass Panel Railing and Glass Baluster Systems allow for the construction of frameless glass
balustrade guards, wind breaks and pool fences. The systems include the monolithic tempered glass
(to be provided by others) or laminated tempered glass (to be provided by others), the railing, the glass clamp,
the glass bracket, and the fastening into the substrate. The Glass Vice system uses a proprietary glass clamp
cast from Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205) or 316 stainless steel, complying with ASTM A890/A890M, to anchor
and fully support ½-inch (12.7 mm) or 5!a-inch (15.87 mm) monolithic tempered glass or, 9/,s-inch (14.3 mm)
or %-inch (15.87 mm) laminated tempered glass balustrades. Monolithic tempered glass installations may
have a stainless steel handrail located between 34 and 42 inches (864 and 1067 mm) above floor surface as
appropriate for the installation. A handrail or guard must be installed when the monolithic tempered glass
balustrade is required for fall protection to comply with IBC 2407.1 . The laminated tempered glass is limited to
installations where a handrail or guard is not required as noted in Section 2.0 of this report. The balustrade
system must be anchored into wood, concrete or steel substrates with a Glass Vice clamp and appropriate
fasteners. The clamp is available in various configurations (See Table 1 and Figures 4 through 16 in this report)
based on the substrate and location of attachment. The various clamps are supplied with the Glass Vice
fasteners and must be used for the installation. The Glass Vice clamps are the same for all glass thicknesses
with the bearing gasket thickness matched to the glass thickness. The glass moment strengths are indicated
in Tables 2 and ~ of this report for the specified glass type and thickness.
3.2 Material:
The glass must be fully tempered glass complying with ASTM C 1048, ANSI 297 .1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201
(procured separately). The minimum thickness of the tempered glass for each guard system is as required for
the loading conditions; refer to Tables 2 and ~ of this report.
The handrail is manufactured out of stainless steel material and is 11/2-inch by 1-inch (38.1 mm by 25.4 mm)
tube. The handrail must be connected to the glass balustrade with a proprietary bracket made from 316
stainless steel supplied by Glass Vice.
The handrail bracket consists of a bent 9/,s-inch (14.3 mm) diameter 316 stainless steel bar with attached
mounting flanges and a mounting plate on the opposite face of the glass connected together with one M8 by
20 mm countersunk stainless steel screw.
The Glass Vice glass clamp is composed of an adjustable clamping system which is made up of duplex 2205
or 316 stainless steel clamp, 8 mm diameter adjustable screws, 3 mm by 140 mm Polyethylene plastic strips,
8 mm by 8 mm by 140 mm stainless steel bars, and an 8 mm by 12 mm by 40 mm stainless steel bar at the
bottom center of clamp cavity. The clamp is approximately 71/16 inches (179 mm) in height. The base is
available in various configurations as described in this report, depending on the substrate, concrete, wood or
steel substrate and the attachment to the surface or fascia.
Connection to the top of a concrete substrate uses two M10 stainless steel (SS) threaded rods, ISO 3506-1
Class A4, which must be installed into the concrete substrate with Hilti HIT-RE 500 V3 adhesive (ESR-3814).
See Figures 4 through § and Figure 10, as applicable, in this report. Installation of the rods must comply with
the installation details noted in ESR-3814.
For top installation into wood, a stainless steel adaptor plate (American Baseplate SLDPRT) must be used
for the base. The adaptor plate is 316 stainless steel, machined from 0.394-inch (10 mm) flat bar and anchored
to the wood with four 3/s-inch (9.5 mm) SS lag screws, all fasteners are supplied with the clamp by Glass Vice.
ESR-3563 Page 3 of 31 -------------l[tftpf1 Moct 1Yidc'1Aeccp1ca,ndTM1ca !-------------=~---
For fascia mounting installation, the Glass Vice is available as an architectural clamp made of cast stainless
steel with a stainless steel cover to conceal the two mounting bolts. The architectural clamp is available for
use with concrete, wood and steel substrates for balustrades installed per the IBC and IRC. The architectural
clamp consists of a tapered extension leg 6¼ inches (159 mm) from the base for fascia mount. To mount to
wood fascia, flat bar standoffs or threaded standoff nuts must be used with the two mounting bolts or screws,
between the clamp leg extension and the fascia substrate as shown in Figures 11 , 12 and 16. To mount to
metal or concrete substrates, flat bar standoffs or round standoffs of minimum 0.394 inch (10 mm) in diameter
must be used with the two mounting bolts between the clamp leg extension and the fascia substrate as shown
in Figures 10 and 15.
3.2.1 Laminated Tempered Glass: The laminated tempered glass must be fully tempered laminated glass
complying with ASTM C1172, ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 (glass procured separately-not supplied
by Glass Vice). The fully laminated tempered glass used in the fabrication must comply with ASTM C1048.
The interlayer must be 0.06-inch (1.54 mm) thick, and must have a minimum shear modulus of 1640 psi
(11 .3 MPa) for T s 122°F (50°C) and a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 5000 psi (34.5 MPa) for T s 122°F
(50°C). The minimum glass thicknesses specified in ASTM C1036 and C1300 are modified as specified in this
report. All glass edges must be polished.
3.2.1 .1 The 9/,s-inch (14.3mm) laminated tempered glass must be made from ¼-inch (6 mm) nominal
tempered glass with a minimum true thickness of 0.225 inch (5.72 mm). The overall true thickness of the
laminated tempered glass must be between 0.510-inch (12.95 mm) minimum and 0.560-inch (14.22 mm)
maximum. Evidence of compliance with these requirements must be submitted to the code official.
3.2.1.2 The 5/a-inch (15.87 mm) laminated tempered glass must be made from one ply of ¼-inch (6 mm)
nominal tempered glass with a minimum true thickness of 0.225 inch (5.72 mm) and 5/16-inch (8 mm) nominal
tempered glass. The overall true thickness of the laminated tempered glass must be between 0.577 inch
(14.65 mm) minimum and 0.625 inch (15.87 mm) maximum. Evidence of compliance with these requirements
must be submitted to the code official.
3.3 Durability:
The materials incorporated in the system described in this report are inherently corrosion-resistant. The
material type specified must be appropriate for the environment of the installation. Information verifying the
durability must be submitted to the code official, when requested.
3.4 WINDBORNE DEBRIS REGIONS:
The system has been evaluated for use in windborne debris regions under the following conditions:
1. The system must be installed without a top rail or handrail at a total height of less than or equal to 42 inches
