Just prior to installing the next frame, apply sealant at the bottom of the first frame up vertical air seal
gasket GP-50001 for approximately 4" long above horizontal air seal gasket. Connect the vertical seal
with the horizontal seal which was previously applied on top of the starter sill. Do not allow sealant to
skin before installing next frame.

at the bottom of the mullion
along vertical air seal gasket
Connect vertical seal
with horizontal seal
Install the next frame by lifting the frame up to clear the starter sill. Move the next frame to the left to
engage the outer mullion hooks; then rotate the next frame towards building to snap inner hooks;
once snapped, slide the next frame down to engage horizontal air seal at stack joint.
Again use the adjustment bolt to level the frame. Check and ensure vertical air seal gasket GP-50001
has not slid down in the gasket raceway in mullion.
