Series 433 Triple Set Installation Instructions

SECTION VIII: Installation

(Includes Offset and Center-Set Glazing)






















Step 10) Anchoring the Second Ladder


After the mullion halves are snapped correctly, ensure that the mullions are plumb and

true and anchor the head as shown in Figure 38 on page 64. If this is the last ladder in
a run, ensure that the mullion halves are snapped correctly and install the required

shims between the jamb and condition. Install the head and jamb anchors. Ensure
that the jamb anchors do not separate the last ladder from the previous. It may be

necessary to shim tightly against the condition to prevent this.

Step 11) Perimeter Seal

When the unit is installed and anchored, begin placing caulk rope into the gap between
the perimeter and the frame. Apply a generous amount of silicone type sealant to the

gap between the frame and rough opening. Tool off all excess sealant to ensure a
good seal and to achieve an appropriate appearance. See Figures 64 through 68

below.
