12- Measure across the channel, the distance between the frame sides at the top and bottom. The
distance at the top and bottom should be the same. Adjust if needed.
13- Place stainless steel shims behind the frame, close to the anchors, before tightening. The frame
must remain in position while the anchors are tightened.
14- Install the intermediate anchors on the frame sides. All intermediate anchors must be installed, since
the frame is not embeded. The distance between the UHMWPE guides must be verified at each pair
of intermediate anchors. Adjust as needed with the shims and anchors making sure the distance is
the same as at the sill.
15- Lower one stop log or the stop plate into the frame. Check the contact between the bottom seal and
the bottom section of the frame (sill) by using a flashlight. The seal on the log or plate has a lip that
should be in contact with the sill on its entire width. Remove the log or plate before grouting
16- Taking precausions not to displace the frame, install the forms to shape and pour the grout. Be
careful to avoid spilling grout inside the guide frame.
17- With clear water, clean the slides and bottom seal to remove any dirt (grout, metal, etc.), Make sure
the area is clean from any residue that could interfere with the proper operation of the logs or plates.
