Hehr and Spartan Window Glazing Channel

1. The Hehr Series 3500, 3600, 4200, and 4900 windows require 3/32" thick glass to work with this glazing channel. 1/8" glass will be too thick for this glazing channel. The thickness of this rubber glazing channel has been designed to fit snugly between the 3/32" glass pane and the aluminum channel. When cutting glass for installation, the glass pane should not overlay the aluminum channel edge by more than 1/8'.

2. Most glass shops do not stock 3/32" glass; however, Home Depot and Lowes stock 24" by 36" sheets of 3/32' glass. You can purchase the glass at either of these stores and take it to a glass shop for cutting and trimming.

3. When used inSpartan windows, 1/8" glass must be used with this glazing to be compatible with the 7/32" glazing channel. The original glass in these early Spartan windows was 1/8".

4. Off-the-shelf glazing rubber from a hardware store or glass shop will be too thick to fit between the glass pane and the aluminum channel.

5. When installing glass and glazing channel into the aluminum channel, make sure the aluminum channel is clean and smooth. If there is corrosion inside the channel, use a small wire brush to smoothen.

6. Use liberal amounts of lubricant such as glass  lubricant or dawn liquid dish soap.

7. Hehr window model numbers include 4901, 4902, 4910, 4911, 4912
