2.1.7 Anchor the mullion to floor slab or beam. Do not overtighten bolt(s). For expansion
anchors, back off nut 1/4 turn and stake bolt.
2.1.8 Check D.L.O. every five bays to ensure correct spacing to prevent dimensional buildup.
NOTE: If open back horizontals are used, all vertical mullions can be installed first. If tubular horizontals are used, the
wall must be stick erected. Last bay tubular horizontals must be notched. SEE FIGURE 8.
2.1.3 Check D.L.O. and diagonal dimensions
every five bays to ensure correct spacing and frame
squareness to prevent dimensional buildup.
TWIN SPAN INSTALLATION:
2.1.4 Attach shear blocks to all vertical members.
SEE FIGURE 6, page 12 for proper orientation on mullion.
For installations using the integral perimeter anchors,
attach to head and sill shear block. NOTE: Depending
on the end reactions, either the integral perimeter
anchor or "T "anchors can be used to anchor the wall.
For end reactions above 750 pounds, use "T" anchors.
2.1.5 For installations using tee anchors, slide "T"
anchors into top and bottom of vertical mullions. The "T"
anchors are designed to clear the shear block fasteners.
2.1.6 Install verticals plumb and level, ensuring
proper spacing out from floor slab or beam. Place shims
under vertical mullion and anchor at sill to evenly distribute
dead load from wall. Anchor top and bottom of mullions to
the structure.
NOTE: If open back horizontals are used, all vertical
mullions can be installed first. If tubular horizontals
are used, the wall must be stick erected. Last bay
horizontals must be notched. SEE FIGURE 8 . Notch
should be located so that is above or below eye level
depending on horizontal location.
