Step C6
If the horizontal spacing are still not correct, try by
adjusting the glass setting blocks that are bracing the
glass in the panel. Remove the gasket and glass vertical
stops from the panel. See Appendix A for the correct
location of the setting blocks. The panel can be raised
by increasing the thickness of the upper vertical setting
block and lowered by decreasing this thickness. The lower
vertical setting block will have to be adjusted accordingly.
Glass suction cups may be needed to raise the glass
up for easier placement of the setting block. The panel
frame will rack up or down at the appropriate corners with
adjustments of the setting blocks. Adjust as needed to
obtain the correct spacing and re-install the glass stops
and gasket. See Appendix A for further details on glazing.
Step C7
Check that the system operates and functions properly.
The panels should be able to be moved easily by one
person without much effort (for not more than 6 panels
to one side) when opening or closing and all shoot bolts
should engage smoothly. If the panels do not move easily
or a lot of effort is needed, the indication is that the unit
is not properly installed. Correct any problems before
finish trimming.
Step C8
Apply a thick bead of exterior grade sealant with a backer
rod if needed on the joint between the sill and sub floor
on both sides along the length of the sill. Do similar for
the gaps between the head jamb and side jambs with
the opening.
Step C9
Finish any waterproofing, flashing, trim
,
and sealant
needed around the perimeter of the opening.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure any weep holes in the sill
are not blocked.
Step C10
To prevent uncontrolled movement of the panels when in
open position, place appropriate door holder by others as
needed.
PROTECTION OF UNIT DURING
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
It is important that during the construction phase
the unit be kept closed, covered and protected from
damage. During this phase, a unit is often subject to the
most extreme conditions from all types of construction
operations that can permanently damage and destroy
it. A unit can be damaged by cement splatter, tar, paint,
weld splatter, falling objects, construction dust, sand
blasting, etc. All temptations to use the large opening
of an installed system for easy ingress and egress by
tradesmen should be resisted.
