MULTI−SPAN INSTALLATION (cont’d):
2.1.9 Anchor the mullion to floor slab or beam. Do not overtighten bolt(s).
2.1.10 Repeat steps 2.1.8 and 2.1.9 until all lower verticals are in place. Check the D.L.O. every four
bays to ensure correct spacing and prevent dimensional buildup.
2.1.11 Install the next vertical above, temporarily shimming between verticals to maintain proper splice
joints (refer to approved shop drawings). SEE FIGURE 7.
2.1.12 Slide tee anchors into top of upper−most mullions. The tee anchors are designed to clear the shear
block fasteners. Attach tee anchor to building condition.
2.1.13 When the wall is set, remove shims between vertical mullions at splices, back off nut ¼ turn at
expansion anchors and stake bolts.
Continue with step 2.2 for remaining installation after all verticals have been erected.
