Install End Wall Frame — General Notes
INSTALL END WALL FRAME
Refer to end frame diagrams in Quick Start section and those on the following pages for assembly
details.
Read notes below to assemble end wall frame.
• Secure all tube splices and connections using FA4482B Tek screws. One for each splice and
connection is sufficient.
• Install all Tek screws in locations that
will not contact
roof or end wall cladding when cladding
is installed.
• Secure base tube between ground posts using FA4482B Tek screws and QH1330 brackets.
• Vertical frame member dimensions are measured from center-to-center unless noted
otherwise on diagrams.
• When measuring vertical tube lengths, remember to account for the square-to-round bracket
(104074) that connects vertical tubes to band clamps on end rafter.
• Secure each band clamp to end rafter using an FA4482B Tek screw.
• Secure each square tube fitting (104624) to each vertical frame tube using an FA4482B Tek
screw.
• During installation, ensure all vertical tubes are plumb.
Detailed steps start on next page. These are main frame assembly and installation steps:
1. Assemble and install base rail. Use 102897 swaged tubes, joined, and cut to fit (as needed).
2. Frame and install door. Use QH1330 brackets installed outside door opening to secure door
jambs to base rail and header to door jambs.
3. Review dimensions for accessories such as fans and shutters and determine where to install
these in the end walls.
ATTENTION:
Consider door operation and required locations of end wall vertical tubes for
end wall polycarbonate panel installation. Positions of some vertical tubes cannot be moved
regardless of accessories.
4. Install all vertical frame tubes.
5. Secure all band clamps to end rafter tube using an FA4482B Tek screw for each.
6. Check all tube splices to ensure each is secured with a Tek screw.
7. Continue with end wall cladding installation.
