E-Lite Fabrication, Assembly and Installation Instructions
Section VII: E-Lite (Optional) End Cap Attachment
#13E2
On some applications, the light shelf does not terminate at an abutting wall, and the raw edges of
the horizontal members are exposed. In this case, EFCO offers an optional finished end cap plate
to be attached to the support struts to close off the end(s) of the light shelf unit.
1. Fabricate and Attach End Cap.
Note: The end cap may be square cut to the depth of the light shelf and attached to the support strut with
screws. There are a number of alternative attachment methods that could be used, including mastic,
pop-rivets, etc. However, EFCO recommends using screws to provide a secure attachment that may
also be disassembled should the need arise.
Note: Any “raw or sharp” aluminum edges should be smoothed with a file or emery cloth and touch-up paint
applied. EFCO provides air dry touch-up paint in any of the standard colors. For custom air dry
touch-up paint, contact your local representative for availability and pricing. Any exposed flat head
screws should be filled and painted to minimize their exposure.

“Raw,” “sharp”, aluminum edges must be smoothed and
countersunk holes with fastener heads should be painted.
