STEP 1) IDENTIFICATION OF SETTING BLOCKS FOR

HORIZONTALS

The setting block for standard frame horizontals is HN43. Two

setting blocks per D.L.O. are required and should be placed at 1/4

points or 1/8 points depending on dead load requirements. Door

headers require the use of a HN91 setting block. Two per D.L.O. are

also required for the HN91. Depending on dead load requirements,

the setting blocks should be placed at 1/4 or 1/8 points. See figures

56-58 on page 36 for calculating 1/4 and 1/8 point locations.
