7. Clean the sealant contact surfaces of the mullion with an approved solvent or cleaner and apply a heavy bead of sealant to the tops of the vertical

mullions as shown in Figure 68.

8. Clean the sealant contact surfaces of the gutter with an approved solvent or cleaner. Apply sealant to the underside of the gutter where it will contact

the ends of the vertical with a bed of sealant. This will ensure that all voids are filled and good sealant contact is achieved once the gutter is applied to the
frame. Install the SSG gutter to the frame at the head horizontal and secure with SPZ1. See Figure 69. It is critical that the sealants applied to the
gutter and mullion are thoroughly tooled and blended together to make watertight.
See Figure 70.

9. Slide in WC19 gasket and LC23 spacer into the gutter. LC23 spacer runs continuously and is flush with the ends of the gutter. WC19 runs continuously, and

is cut 3” longer than the gutter (1 1/2” on each end). See figure 71.
