SEALER GUIdE INSTALLATION
Locate the SEALER GUIDES. They are bundled
together and packed along with the walk-in corner
or wall panels and are labeled accordingly. Sealer
guides are strips of 3/8” plywood 2 1/4” wide as
shown in Figure 1.
Refer to the SEALER GUIDE DIAGRAM. Select
the proper sealer guides and position them as
shown by the circled letters on the diagram. Each
length of sealer guide is marked with a circled
letter that corresponds to the circled letters on the
sealer guide diagram.
Each sealer guide, when positioned properly, will
have its outer edge precisely over the INSIDE
OUTLINE drawn on the building floor, Figure 2,
and its outer edge will be exactly 7/8” from the
outline which represents the foamed sealer outer
edge. The quality of workmanship performed in
locating and securing the sealer guides will be
transmitted directly to the location of the foamed
sealers (screeds) and, subsequently, to the overall
erection of the complete walk-in. BE EXACT! Refer
to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
When all sealer guides are in position, make a
final CHECK FOR SQUARENESS and secure
them to the building floor with fasteners that are
appropriate for the surface. NOTE: This can either
be a mechanical fastener or construction grade
adhesive. If the sealer guide is positioned over
a polystyrene or polyurethane thermal breaker, a
compatible construction adhesive may be used.
fOAMEd SEALER (Screed) INSTALLATION
Refer to the FOAMED SEALER DIAGRAM.
Identify and locate the sealer section that will be
positioned directly over the highest point which
was determined earlier and marked on the building
floor (Figure 3).
NOTE: All foamed sealers are male-formed on
one end and female formed on the opposite end.
The configuration of the ends is clearly indicated
on the diagram. Also, make certain that the strike
housing portion of the section latches is visible on
the upper edge of the sealer when it is in position
(see Figure 1 and Figure 2).
