MULTI-SPAN INSTALLATION:
2.1.9 Install "T" anchors at the sill condition prior to setting mullions. Each "T" anchor must be anchored with a
minimum of two anchor bolts. See approved shop drawings for bolt size and location.
2.1.10 Attach shear blocks to all vertical members. SEE FIGURE 3, page 10 for proper orientation on mullion.
2.1.11 Install lower verticals plumb and level, ensuring proper spacing out from floor slab or beam. Place shims
under vertical mullion at sill to evenly distribute dead load from wall.
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, page 13.
2.1.12 Anchor the mullion to floor slab or beam. Do not over tighten bolt(s).
2.1.13 Repeat steps 2.1.11 and 2.1.12 until all lower verticals are in place. Check D.L.O. every five bays to
ensure correct spacing to prevent dimensional buildup.
2.1.14 Install the next vertical above, temporarily shimming between verticals to maintain proper splice joints
(refer to approved shop drawings). SEE FIGURE 9 & FIGURE 10, page 15 .
