1. Set the first frame into the opening using dead load shims at the sill to level the frame, and make all necessary adjustments to properly locate the frame to
established benchmarks.
2. After the frame is plumb and all adjustments have been made, match drill through the holes in the head and sill into the surrounding substrate, and apply the
anchor bolts at the head and sill. Anchor bolt size, type, quantity, and location vary. Refer to the final approved shop drawings for more information. The
anchors at the head require an anchor bolt sleeve to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, and building movements.
