Series 526 Impact Installation Instructions
When glazing a wet glazed unit, follow all the previous instructions in this manual and
substitute the W146 gasket with WEQ1.
Begin the interior glass sealant application by ensuring that the glass and metal are
cleaned and dry per the sealant manufacturer's instructions. Apply sufficient structural
silicone sealant to the gap between the glass and metal to fill the void back to the interior
gasket on all sides of each DLO. Ensure that air pockets in the sealant are not present as
this would create a weak area in the glass and metal adhesion. Tool the sealant flat
against the metal for a clean cosmetic appearance. It may be beneficial to use a form of
masking tape on the metal and/or glass to aid in the clean appearance of the seal and to
lessen the clean-up effort. See figure 55 below for sealant application.
