1. Fabricate and Install Internal Support Channel.
A.) The internal support channel must be cut to length (nominally 4” less than strut centerline to centerline dimension).
Locate and drill all attachment holes in the support channel. (Typically the same anchor screw is used at the
internal channel support as used to anchor the channel base.)
B.) Align drill a clear hole in the channel base and a pilot hole in the horizontal mullion. (This is recommended even if
self drilling screws are used to avoid binding or breaking of the screw.)
C.) Install internal support channel equally spaced between the support struts. Tighten attachment screws firmly.
