ASTM C716-06 (R2020) provides guidelines for the proper installation of lock-strip gaskets and infill glazing materials in lock-strip gasket glazing applications used in building walls. The standard emphasizes the importance of maintaining weathertightness against air and water infiltration and ensuring structural integrity under wind loads.

The specification covers different types of gasket systems, such as H-type gasket and reglet-type gasket, and provides specific requirements for their installation. It also categorizes the installation procedures for multiple-opening gasket systems into various assemblies, including unsupported and supported vertical and horizontal ladder assemblies, as well as grid assemblies. The standard further outlines the requirements for installing stick systems, glass or panels into the gasket, and the lock-strip.

According to the specification, ASTM C716-06 (R2020) can be referenced in contract documents as a method and workmanship standard for the installation of lock-strip gasket glazing systems. It is important to note that the standard is not aware of any comparable standards published by other organizations.
