Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions

Section IV: Perimeter Application

B.)

First attach the vertical pressure plates and then the horizontal pressure plates
into position using #13 X 5/8” stainless steel hex washer head screws. Locate

screws at 6” O.C. and at a maximum of 3” from the ends of each pressure plate.
Torque screws to 80 inch-pounds. When possible, work from the center outward

on the horizontals and from the sill upward on the verticals.

C.)

In cold weather, first torque all pressure plate screws to 40 inch-pounds. Once all

four sides have been clamped down, torque all screws to 80 inch-pounds.

D.)

Seal all joints between the vertical and horizontal pressure plates with sealant

which will provide a water and airtight joint.

*Note: The glazier should always place a screw in the vertical

pressure plate directly opposite each horizontal. This is

necessary to create maximum control of pressure on the
mullion plugs, which provide the critical sealing function.

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.
