Shear Block Sealing
Adequate sealant should be applied to
track of shear block to allow sealant
to force through holes in horizontal.
Sealant should form a seal around and
beneath attachment fastener. If sealant
does not form a complete seal around
fastener, fastener should be cap sealed
to insure proper seal.

2.2 Seal around shear blocks prior to installing each horizontal mullion. SEE FIGURE 12. Install horizontal mullions
as shown in FIGURE 13, page 17 and FIGURE 14, page 18 . Prior to attaching screws, make sure sealant has been
forced out of the holes in horizontal. If not, apply a liberal amount of sealant into each hole. Secure horizontals to
shear block with two (2) FS-115 #10 x 1" Phillips Pan Head screw at each end of horizontal. Check head of screw to
insure proper seal.
2.1.15 Slide tee anchors into top of upper-most mullions. The tee anchors are designed to clear the shear block
fasteners. Attach "T" anchor to building condition.
2.1.16 When the wall is set, remove shims between vertical mullions at splices. For expansion anchors, back
off nut 1/4 turn and stake bolt.
