Series 8700 / 8800 Unitized Curtain Wall Assembly Instructions - Volume 1
1. Assemble the framing facing upward (glazing side up). Use saw horses or assembly tables during assembly. Provisions to protect the finished surfaces of
the material must be employed on the table or saw horses.
2. Check to ensure the frame gaskets are intact and properly applied.
3. Fasten the ends of all of the horizontals, first to one jamb, with SFQ5 (1/4”-14 X 1 1/2” HW-SMS 18-8), and then to the remaining jamb. Torque the screws
tight enough to fully compress the frame gaskets, but do not over tighten. Wax applied to the threads of the fasteners is recommended for lubrication to assist
with driving in the screws. Cap seal the fastener heads with sealant.
