INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION — CORNER WINDOWS
■
➤
For applications with bottom and/or top sill frame, trim the corners of the sill frame(s) so that the left and right frames will
abut properly.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the tops are flush, and the bead edge of the butting L-frames are aligned properly and
do not
overlap.
Step B. Install Frames (Inside or Outside Mount)
1.
Center the attached frames (L-frame and Z/L frame combinations) over or into the openings and even out your reveal, using
shims as necessary.
2.
Secure the top and bottom inside corners of the left and right frame.
Step C. Mount the Left Corner Panel(s)
1.
Support the left side of the frame with support blocks (OM) or shims (IM) before inserting
the panel(s).
2.
Place the panel(s) into the left frame by fitting the pin end of the hinges into the hinge
barrels.
■
➤
If necessary, tap up the hinge pins on one or more of the hinges in order to easily
install the panels.
3.
After the panels are installed, tap the pins down.
■
➤
Be sure to use a tapping block to avoid damage to the panel or the pin.
Step D. Rack and Secure the Left Corner Panel(s)
1.
After mounting the panel(s), close the panel(s) and check for proper alignment.
■
➤
If misaligned, grasp the left side of the left frame at the top and bottom, and move
the frame up and down until proper alignment is achieved.
■
➤
Mark the position of the frame on the wall and open the panel(s).
2.
Attach the frame at the left-side top corner, making sure the frame lines up with your
mark.
3.
Close the panel(s) and check alignment.
4.
Secure the balance of the frame. There should be one screw within 3" of each corner
and no more than 30" between fasteners.
IMPORTANT:
With each fastener that is placed, close the panels and check the alignment.
If the alignment is lost, go back to the fastener, remove, re-align, and re-install.
