Anchor type and sizes vary per job requirements. Details shown in these instructions are to be used
as a guide only. Refer to approved shop drawings for actual conditions.
3.1 Reliance-IG SS sill member can be anchored to the building condition by either hard fastening directly
through the sill member or slide-in mullion anchors that fit inside the vertical mullions.SEE FIGURE 12
If using the slide-in anchors, install into ends of mullions prior to erecting the frame.
3.2 Reliance-IG SS head member must be anchored to the building condition using the slide-in anchor that
fits inside the vertical mullions. SEE FIGURE 12, page 14.
3.3 Starting with the first bay, install into opening plumb and level. Check perimeter to maintain proper caulk
joint. Anchor to structure per approved shop drawings. SEE FIGURE 16, page 16.
3.4 Seal mull caps at head and sill. SEE FIGURE 15, page 16. This is a critical seal and care must be taken
to insure that a proper seal is formed. Excess sealant should be tooled around glazing pocket and from
the joint side of the connection to insure a full seal is made between the mull cap and horizontal member.
SEE FIGURE 14, page 15. .
3.5 Sealant must be applied to end of horizontal, head and sill or on intersecting surface prior to assembly of
units. Once sealant is applied set next bay into opening by engaging mullion halves together. Ensure
that bottom of mullion halves align. Anchor this bay to structure. SEE FIGURE 16, page 16.
3.6 Repeat steps 3.4 and 3.5 until all bays are installed. Check D.L.O. and diagonal dimensions every
four bays to ensure correct spacing and frame squareness to prevent dimensional buildup.
3.7 If mullions are spliced, release splice sleeves from upper mullions and allow to fall onto the set screws at
the lower mullions. Attach to lower mullions with (2) FS-322 #14 x 1" TEK screws. Refer to "VERTICAL
SPLICING" section, page 35 & 36, for splice installation and sealing instructions.
3.8 Apply continuous bead of sealant between all intermediate vertical mullion halves and tool into space
provided. SEE FIGURE 13, sheet 15.
3.9 At SSG mullions, apply sealant to all contact surfaces on vertical and horizontal mullions where zone
bridges will be installed. Apply sealant to horizontal tongue receptor on zone bridge and install at the
end of each horizontal, head and sill members. Tool any excess sealant around front end of zone bridge
where the thermal isolator runs through. Tool sealant in the glazing pockets to ensure a watertight fit.
