1.
Seal the case-to-case joints with caulk (supplied), then
apply acrylic tape (supplied) over the pipe-chase seam
(Fig. 3). The tape acts as a watershed preventing wa-
ter from settling in the case joint.
If non-insulated plexiglass partitions are included, see
Appendix
*
for installation instructions.
Re-install shelves (or peg hook assemblies if appli-
cable). Be aware that differing shelf confi gurations
will
affect energy consumption and case performance. If
peg hook assemblies are to be installed, see Appen-
dix
)
for more information.
Install the front panel (Fig. 4). The front panel bottom
insert is a painted panel that ships loose with the case.
The panel is inserted upward under the door frame ex-
teriors and is supported without fasteners by setting
the panel on the tabs as shown.
Make any adjustments that are necessary to properly
align the front panels, then install the front panel trim
that is supplied (Fig. 5).

Inside the case, use the supplied sex bolts to close the
gap between the frames (Fig. 6). On the outside, run
a thin bead of caulk along the case-to-case seam, then
carefully push the T-Bar case frame joint trim into the
space between the frames (Fig. 7).

SEX BOLT
Loosen the cornice joint at case end (cornice screws
are located on top of the case). Be certain that cornice
joints and pins are properly aligned. Cases are now
ready to be joined.
Push the cases tightly together, then lightly bolt them
together through the holes that are provided (Fig. 2).
Tighten all the joining bolts until all margins are equal.
Be careful not to over tighten.
Repeat steps 3–6 of this sequence for all remaining
cases. Be certain to properly level all cases.
Install the seismic brackets (if included). See Appen-
dix
