Section VIII: Captured Glazing Adaptor Installation
STEP #1 INSTALL GLAZING ADAPTERS
A. Prior to installing the glazing adapters, seal the full length of the gasket raceway
with sealant.
B. Snap the glazing adapters in place into the sealant starting with the verticals.
Allow at least 1/8” clearance from the bottom of the glazing adapters to the top of
the joint plugs to allow for weepage.
C. Apply sealant to the ends of the horizontal adapters prior to setting them into
position. Snap the horizontal adapters in place between the vertical adapters. Seal
the face of the adaptor intersections with sealant. Tool all sealant joints and
remove all excess sealant.
Continuously seal the
gasket raceway with
sealant prior to
installing the adapters.
GLAZING ADAPTERS
NOTE: The vertical adapters
will need clearance above
the joint plugs, free from
sealant for weepage.
Glazing adapter cut formula:
Vertical = D.L.O. + 1”
Horizontal = D.L.O. – 1/16”
