together using the panel clamp
assemblies. When connecting
panels
together, follow the directions outlined below:
Place two
panels
next to each other
and ensure all required components,
tools and sealant are
read
y
to
complete assembly
.
Clean the grooves of both headers.
Apply proper sealant to the gasket
and insert
one
gasket into either
header.
Join both headers together ensuring
the gasket is properly located in both
header grooves and fully seated.
Only one gasket is used for each
connection.
Place the bottom clamp underneath
where both of the headers meet.
You can apply some pressure to the
top of the headers to start
compressing the gasket.
Place the top clamp interlocking it
with the bottom clamp swinging
the top clamp around the header
and aligning the angled latch
portion of both clamps.
Compress the clamp assembly with
channel lock pliers, which requires a
good amount of force, and slide the
latch onto the clamp.
