After the subsill has been cleaned and the 795 sealant has been
applied, rotate the subsill into position and follow the chalk line
location marks. Firmly press the subsill into position so that the
sealant is pressed uniformly onto the condition. Locate anchors on
the "V" groove of the subsill and tighten firmly and uniformly to
anchor the subsill. Anchors should be placed 6" from each end and
16" on center. Seal and tool the anchor heads with 795 or
equivalent silicone type sealant. These are general anchor location
guidelines. Size, space, and embedment of anchors as required to
meet structural loads.
