STEP #3 INSTALL FRAME COMPONENTS
A. Repeating step 2, page 18, 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 op-
posite 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.
Section III: Typical Anchorage Methods
* 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.
