Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions
Section X: Glazing Installation
Step #1 Install Glazing Materials
A.) Install the proper glazing product into the opening using section cups to hold the infill
above the sill horizontal and set the jamb side of the glass into the deep pocket.
Swing the opposite side of the glass into the shallow pocket. Gently lower the
material onto the setting blocks with the exterior face of the glass pushed up against
the exterior gasket. Take care not to roll the gasket while shifting the glass.
B.) Position the glazing in the center of the opening maintaining a ½” glass bite around
the entire perimeter.
C.) Install the interior wedge gasket in short lengths to 3 edges of the glass to hold the
glass temporarily.
D.) Install the glazing bead at the intermediate horizontal and at the head. (See page 20
and 21).

Customer / Installer Note: EFCO setting blocks are
typically 4" in length with different depths. If the glazing
infill is "NOT BY EFCO" and glazing sizes are larger than
40 square feet, then the glazing details must be reviewed
by the glazing manufacturer for proper setting block size.
