Glass Installation Steps (cont.)
3. Glass
Installation - Make sure glass blocks are still in place. After getting glass based upon glass size formulas on
page 25 follow these steps:
A. Position the glass on the appropriate side of the framing without the removable glass stop installed. Shift
the glass into the deep pocket to begin glass installation.
B. Swing the opposite glass edge around to align with the glazing pocket.
C. Slide the glass into the shallow pocket and lower onto the setting blocks. Shift the glass unit until there is
equal glass bite on both sides of the D.L.O.. Ensure that the preinstalled gasket does not roll out of the
gasket race when moving the glass into place.
4. Glass Stop - Ensure that the glass stop hook track is clean and free of oil and dirt. Run a continuous bead of
silicone at area shown in Fig. #34(a). Before sealant cures place stop as seen in Fig. #34(b) and then rotate into
final position as seen in Fig. #34(c). Strong hand pressure or a slight tap with a mallet will ensure the glass stop
snap is engaged. This step is for both outside and inside glazed units.
