Section IV: Frame Assembly
Frame Assembly
A.) Assemble shear blocks, sleeves, anchors, etc., to mullions as required. Attach
horizontals to form the frames or sections per “APPROVED” shop drawings.
B.) Attach horizontal rails to shear blocks.
Apply sealant, to face of
shear block prior to
installation of horizontal.
After horizontal is in
position, wipe away
excess sealant.
Note: On long runs, check overall frame dimensions
at every fifth opening to avoid dimensional build-up.
Overall Dimension Check
** Dimension Check Every 5 Units
Interior tubular horizontals are cut
D.L.O. – 1/32”. The erector is to
split this difference on both sides.
Note: The shear block must be leveled, perpendicular to the
verticals, before the #14 attachment screws are tightened.
Note: The commercial cut to length tolerance is +/-
1/16”. It is critical to check every fifth unit for location.
