RIDGE
(See Page 20)
NOTE:
Refer to drawings for ridge height.
Before you slide in the ridge, put one bolt
in the top of each end bar. Take the ridge
(one person at each end)
and slide it between
the end rafter on the top. You will notice
the punched-out slots in the bottom flange
of the ridge. The end slot lines up with the
bottom side of the end rafter Glass Bar. Now
slide in the ridge and slide the bolt up into
the ridge slot. Make sure that the Glass Bar
is tight against the ridge – use a 7/16 flat
wrench
(at this time you can temporarily fasten
the ridge to keep it from moving round)
(

Picture

)
.
5.
GLASS BAR WITH VENT SLIDERS
(See
Page 21)
Each Glass Bar has a small vent frame slider
on it. They are marked 1/2/3/4 etc. On the
ridge there will be the same markings. Slide
a bolt in the top of the Glass Bar. Put into
place with the angle cut on top
(Note that
the numbers are the same).
Line it up with the
punched out slot in the Ridge. Slide up the
bolt and fasten it. (
See Picture
F
).
6.
VENT FRAME BOTTOM SECTION
(See Page 22)
The vent frame bottom fits in between the
Glass Bars that you have just installed (
See
Picture
G
).
The 2” side of the angle faces
towards the Ridge. Move the bolt up the
Glass Bar and fasten it.
7.
REMAINING GLASS BARS
(See Page 22)
All remaining Glass Bars can now be
installed. Make sure that the top is against
the ridge. Before you tighten the Glass Bar
on the gutter, eyeball the gutter to see if it is
straight. There is usually about a 1/8” space
between the Glass Bar and the gutter.
