Section 13 - Glazing Preparation
1. Remove glazing gasket from the reel and allow to shrink.
2. Apply glazing gaskets to the pressure plates. Gaskets must be cut flush at both end of the vertical pressure plate except in multi-story applications, where
gaskets are to extend 1” beyond the top end to cross the expansion joint. The pressure plate should extend 3” past the slice.
3. Cut the Horizontal gaskets 1/2” longer than the pressure plate length and apply so that 1\4” extends beyond each end.
4. Apply sealant to the face of the joint plug prior to installation of the vertical and horizontal pressure plates.
