Installation Instructions
The installation of the SL45 System requires a working
knowledge and experience in the use of tools, equipment
and methods necessary for the installation of aluminum
doors, windows, storefronts
,
and/or partitions.
This
practice assumes a familiarity with preparing a proper
and structurally sound opening, proper anchorage,
waterproofing, caulking
,
and sealing and assumes an
understanding of the fundamentals of building
c
onstruction that affect the installation of large aluminum
door systems.
Highly recommended is using a
n independent
NanaWall
certified
installer, if available, or, at least, an installer
who
has some experience in installing NanaWall systems.
IMPORTANT:
READ COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. INSTALL AS
RECOMMENDED; OTHERWISE, THE UNIT MAY
NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND ANY WARRANTY,
WRITTEN OR IMPLIED, WILL BE VOID.
CAUTION:
As regulations governing the use of glazed windows,
doors, storefronts and/or partitions vary widely, it is the
responsibility of the building owner, architect, contractor
or installer to insure that products selected conform to
all applicable codes and regulations, including federal,
state and local. NanaWall Systems, Inc. can assume no
obligation or responsibility whatsoever for failure of the
building owner, architect, contractor or installer to comply
with all applicable laws and ordinances and safety and
building codes.
The SL45 system is shipped with all necessary
components. However, not included are screws, bolts,
shims, etc. to anchor the unit to the rough opening.
The frame is shipped knocked down and needs to be
assembled. Panels are pre-assembled with or without
glass, ready to be attached to the installed frame. In most
cases, all hinges, weather stripping, multiple locking, and
flat handles are pre-attached to the panels and frame
components.
DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIED PARTS
Check all parts carefully before assembly. Depending
on the model, some of these parts may already be
pre-installed on the panels. Check that the sizes of the
frame components and panels match with what was
ordered. In the small cardboard box attached to the
frame components that contains hinge pins and various
hardware, inspect the elevation drawing, indicating size,
configuration, and labeling of the unit ordered. For orders
with multiple units, do not mix and match panels and
frames, even if two units are exactly the same. Below is a
list of supplied parts.
Always looking from inside.
• Left side jamb, labeled L, and right side jamb,
labeled R.
• Head jamb, labeled O, and sill, labeled U. (In some
instances the head jamb and sill may be in segments.)
• Pre-assembled panels. The number of panels
depends on the model ordered.
The sequence of
labeling of panels starts from the left with the left
most panel labeled Panel 1.
If supplied unglazed,
panels have to be glazed before being installed in
the opening. See Appendix A: Glass Installation and
Glazing.
• Screws to connect the four corners of the frame.
• Hinge pins and screws.
• Lever handles, other handles or other entry hardware
as ordered. These may be pre-attached to the panels.
• Panel holder – one for each swing door not attached
to a side jamb.
