Series 5600 Outside Glazed Installation Instructions
Section VII: Glazing Installation
Step #3 Install Infill Glazing Materials
A.) Install proper infill into the opening using suction cups to gently lower the infill
material onto the setting blocks.
B.) Position the infill in the center of the opening maintaining a ½” glass bite around
the entire perimeter.
C.) Lift the infill slightly off the setting blocks and press the infill firmly against the
interior glazing gaskets at the sill horizontal.
Step #4 Install Temporary Retainers
A.) Depending on your specific installation sequence, it may be desirable to install
temporary glazing retainers to hold the infill glazing in the opening. Apply the
retainers as needed; however, it is suggested that they be spaced no more than 30”
apart. They are intended for short term temporary applications only and are not to
be left unattended, or overnight. [TEMPORARY RETAINERS DO NOT MEET
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS AND CAN FAIL UNDER STRUCTURAL
LOADS.]
30" Max.
