(Note for clarification only, not part of specification) "Deflection is the amount a structural member will bend or "give" under load. The building codes usually limit deflection to L/175 of the total span under design loads. Framing that deflects beyond this limit is considered "less than firm" and may cause seal failures and glass breakage."
