4.4 Temporarily hold glass in place at each corner with 4" long interior wedge gaskets. Locate at the

corners for proper sealing of gasket joint. Temporary pieces of wedge may also be required at the

center of each horizontal if glass edges are greater than 4' in length.

4.5 Install GP-115 "W" blocks at centerline of each lite along vertical edges. For framing that may be

subject to seismic events, consult glass manufacturer for preferred location.

For elevations requiring vertical mullion splices, refer to the

VERTICAL SPLICING section,
