STEP 5) INSTALLING THE HWD1 WATER DEFLECTOR
The HWD1 water deflector is
designed to be used with several
EFCO storefront systems. For
this reason, the deflector needs to
be modified to fit the 525 system
glazing pockets. See figure 66 to
the right for HWD1 modification.
Install the HWD1 at the ends of the intermediate horizontals only. It is
not required at heads or sills. Use 795 or equivalent silicone type
sealant to adhere the HWD1 onto the intermediate horizontal. Ensure
that the HWD1 fits flush with the top of the intermediate horizontal
glazing pocket, and smooth any excess 795 sealant so water will flow
easily over the water deflector. See typical installation of the HWD1 in
figures 67 and 68 below.
