To ensure that the unit will assemble correctly, verify that the structural glazed mullion

and filler are fabricated opposite of each other. Apply butyl type sealant to the end of all

horizontal members that come into contact with the structural glazed mullion. Install

anchors into the head. Before assembly, apply wax lubricant to all STC8 fasteners.

Fasten the structural glazed mullion to all horizontal members. Fasten the opposite

vertical mullion, jamb, etc. to the other end of the horizontals. Make sure that butyl type

sealant has been applied to the other ends of the horizontal members. Ensure that

anchor straps have been installed if required. Wipe off all excess sealant.
