E-Lite Fabrication, Assembly and Installation Instructions
Section VIII: E-Lite “Module Built” Base Frame Assembly
The “Module Built” E-Lite refers to the system of fabrication and assembly, so as to allow the light
shelf to be fabricated and built into modules, transported to the job-site, and loaded into the
Anchor Base Channel. The E-Lite Module Built system uses the same material; it is only
fabricated and assembled in a different manner. The assumption is that the E-Lite material can
be ordered in stock lengths, fabricated, and assembled in the customer’s shop, then attached to a
previously set curtain wall, storefront, or substrate wall.
2. Fabricate Internal Support Channel and Terminator Channel.
1. Fabricate the Support Struts.
A.) The struts have what is called a “peel vee” and can be run across a table saw to cut a kerf at the 2” mark so
the material to be removed can be broken off with a pair of pliers.
A.) Locate and drill all strut attachment hole patterns in the support and terminator channels as indicated below.
