Install the anchors
•
Attach the hanger bolts to the façade
and seal them.
The floor bolts can be screwed into
façades which have timber beams. In
the case of concrete façades or brick
walls a suitable fixing element is to be
provided by others (e.g., injection an-
chor or shear connector). A structural
engineer must be consulted about this.
Fasten the rail to the hanger bolt.
•
Fasten the rails to the hanger bolt
connecting plate from below. Be sure
to maintain the
required minimum
projections
H = 22 cm
for mounting the manifold
I = 15 cm
for mounting the bottom rail
Install fasteners
•
Start with the safety brackets that
prevent the manifold and bottom rail
from slipping. Remove the right-angle
clamp from the fastener and screw
the bolt and the washer back onto the
Pressix channel.
•
Insert
the safety bracket for the mani-
fold to the lower mounting rail at 90°
and at a distance
A
from the end of
the rail.
Press on the bolt and tight-
en it.
•
Insert the safety bracket for the bot-
tom rail at the opposite end at 90°
and at a distance
B
from the end of
the rail. Press on the bolt and tighten
it.
•
Insert a fastener for the manifold into
the mounting rail and position it so
that it is flush with the upper edge of
the mounting rail. Press on the bolt to
snap the fastener into place.
•
Insert the fastener for the bottom rail
flush with the lower end of the mount-
ing bracket and line it up. Press on
the bolt to snap the fastener into
place. To keep the fastener in place,
hand tighten the nut by two or three
turns; do not tighten permanently yet.
•
All other
fasteners for
the manifold
and bottom rail shall be mounted to
the two ends of the mounting rail as
described.
Inspection
After installing the fasteners, double
check their height and position. All fas-
teners shall be lined up at the same
level. Fasteners and mounting rails
shall always be parallel and perpendic-
ular to the edges of the building. Repo-
sition the mounting rails on the mount-
ing plate to make any necessary adjust-
ments. Loosen the bolt (S) that attach-
es to the mounting rail and adjust the
mounting assembly. Retighten the
bolts.
