Series 5500 Outside Glazed Installation Instructions

STEP #3 INSTALL FRAME COMPONENTS

A. Repeating step 2, page 11, set each successive frame into the opening, snapping the verti-

cals and fillers at each frame, until all frames are installed up to the last frame at the oppo-

site jamb.

B. Check frequently to ensure the installed framing is in the proper position with regard to

established benchmarks.

C. After securing the anchor bolts, snap-in head and sill fillers.

NOTE: On long runs, check overall frame dimensions at every fifth opening to avoid

dimensional build-up. The commercial cut length tolerance is +/- 1/16”. It is critical

to check every fifth unit for location relative to established benchmarks.
