A.) Locate and apply vertical covers as shown on the Approved Final Shop Drawings.
Engage one side, then use the mallet and block to engage the opposite side.
B.) Center the horizontal snap cover in the opening and apply it in the same manner.
Gaps at the ends should be split equally and are to allow for thermal movement and
weepage.

must split the difference on both ends.
Caution: Care must be taken to avoid damage to the covers during
installation. Use a 12” long 2 X 4 with a mallet or hammer to seat the
cover.
Use an approximately 12”
long wood block to avoid
