Series 5500 Advanced & Alternate Installation Instructions
Section VIII: SSG Glazing Adaptor Installation
STEP #1 INSTALL GLAZING ADAPTERS IF REQUIRED
A. Prior to installing the glazing adapters, seal the full length of the gasket raceway
with sealant.
B. Snap or screw apply the glazing adapters in place into the sealant, starting with
the verticals. Allow at least 1/8” clearance from the bottom of the glazing
adapters to the top surface of the glazing pocket at captured horizontals to allow
for weepage.
C. Apply sealant to the ends of the horizontal adapters prior to setting them into
position. Snap or screw apply the horizontal adapters in place between the vertical
adapters. Seal the face of the adapter intersections with sealant. Seal all screw
heads with sealant. Tool all sealant joints, and remove all excess sealant.
NOTE: The vertical adapters
will need clearance above
the joint plugs, free from
sealant, for weepage.
Continuously seal the
gasket raceway with
sealant prior to
installing the adapters.

shop drawings for screw
