1. Assemble the unit frame as shown in Volume 1 of Series 8700 / 8800 Unitized Curtain Wall Assembly Instructions, through “Section 3 - B. Unit Frame
Assembly”. For reduced handling for units with shadow boxes, assemble the unit frame with the interior side facing upward.
2. Clean the ends of the shadow box framing members where sealant will be applied with an approved solvent or cleaner.
3. Seal the ends of the shadow box frame members with sealant. See Figure 2.
4. Assembly the shadow box frame with (8) SLQ5 fasteners. Remove excess sealant from the outside areas of the frame corners.
5. Cap seal the fastener heads, seal inside the frame corners, and frame screw splines in the corners of the frame. Tool the sealant carefully to make water
tight. See Figures 3 and Figure 4.
