Series 5600 Outside Glazed Installation Instructions
Section IX: Exterior Cover Installation
Step #1 Apply Exterior Covers
A.) Locate and apply vertical covers as shown on the approved Final shop drawings.
Engage one side, then use the mallet and block to engage the opposite side.
B.) Center the horizontal snap cover in the opening and apply it in the same manner.
Gaps at the ends should be split equally and are to allow for thermal movement and
weepage.
Note: Exterior horizontal snap covers are cut D.L.O. -1/16”. The
erector must split the difference on both ends.
Caution: Care must be taken to avoid damage to the covers
during installation. Use a 12” long 2 X 4 with a mallet or
hammer to seat the cover.
Use an approximately 12”
long wood block to avoid
denting or bending the cover.
Drill 5/16” diameter
weep holes in the
horizontal covers at 2”
from daylight opening.
