1. Check contract documents and shop drawings. Understand and clarify any ﬁeld verify notes and

approvals of drawings and products to be familiar with the project. Installation instructions are

intended to be a reasonable guideline for installation of the product as based on testing and

common conditions. Conditions on a project may vary, and deviations or special instructions

should be deﬁned in the shop drawings. Shop drawings should take precedence and deﬁne

project-speciﬁc product installation.

2. All materials need to be inventoried to be certain everything required for installation is

accounted for.

3. Materials need to be installed plumb, level, and true.

4. Work from project-deﬁned bench marks like center column lines, ﬁnished ﬂoors, or mullion

spacing as deﬁned by the architectural drawings and/or the general contractor.

5. All sealants need to be compatible with all materials. The glazing contractor and/or general

contractor are responsible for supplying sealants and submitting any sealant compatibility and

performance documentation.

6. Isolation of dissimilar materials like aluminum and uncured concrete should be prepared

for. Use a heavy bituminous paint or zinc chromate coating or approved equal to isolate

incompatible materials.

7. Protection and cleaning of materials are the responsibility of the glazing and general

contractors. (Reference AAMA documentation, for care and maintenance.)

8. Measure the width of the opening at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening and use the

architect, contractor, and customer for the door products used on the project. Boyd Aluminum is

only a material supplier.

9. Boyd Aluminum is the material supplier of the door and window product as deﬁned in the

drawings and contract documents. Only fasteners and accessories within the system are

supplied. Sealants and fastener locations to the surrounding conditions should be deﬁned on

the shop drawings and are normally the responsibility of the glazing contractor.

10. Due to changing product parameters and evolving product lines, Boyd Aluminum reserves the

right to change detailing and documentation without notiﬁcation.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR INSTALLATION Step 1. Measure the opening (see Figure A). • Measure the width of the opening at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening and use the smallest length measured to calculate your frame width. • Then, measure the height of the opening along several places on the length of the opening and use the smallest height to calculate your frame height.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 2. Assemble knocked down (KD) frame (see Figure B). • Layout the frame and clean it for sealant application. Sealant is critical, and it must be tooled to ensure no pinholes or openings. • Butter the frame edges with sealant. • Fasten horizontals to verticals with #10 × 1¼ PHL PH SMS. It is helpful to use wax on the screws to assist with screw installation. Don’t torque screws too tight and risk snapping them off. • Seal the exterior corners of frame (see Figure C).

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 3. Installation of transom (when transom is used) (see Figure D). • Include prior frame installation, step 2. • Apply sealant to the interior of the door frame track as shown, inside and out. • Insert frame connecting “I”-shaped mullion as shown in Figure D. • Apply sealant to the transom adjacent track and stack it onto the door frame. • Sealant should ooze out of the joint. Tool and wipe clean.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 4. Erect the frame (see Figure F). • Shim the frame into the opening, ensuring the jambs are level and the sill is plumb and level. Shim the sill at anchor locations and where needed to ensure a level and solid sill. Next, finish shimming the jambs at anchor locations. After the jambs are secure, measure and check the level to make sure the center of the frame is the same height as the jambs.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 5. Fixed panel installation: • Check the panels to make sure they are clean and that none of the seals show signs of damage from shipping. Repair any damages and broken seals. • Mark a 2½" reveal from the jamb track on the track of the head and the sill. This is the location of where to install the fixed panel (see Figure G). • Find the L2" × 2" × ¼" fixed panel anchors and the #10 × ¾ PHL PH TEK fasteners.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 6. Setting the fixed panel (sealant is critical when setting this panel): • Check the frame’s weather stripping, it should only be located where the fixed panel will set (see Figure H). • Be careful when sliding fixed panel into place (see Figure I). • A critical seal is located at the meeting rail base and head (see Figure J).
PAGE 10
SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 7. Screw down the sill clip at the fixed panel, maintaining the 2½" reveal (see Figures K & L). Step 8. Screw the clip to the frame at the head, maintaining the 2½" reveal (see Figures K & L). • The top clip has a deal-load fastener, and is different from the sill clip. • Measure the jamb opening match center of the door opening dimension and run the dead-load fastener screw into the meeting rail to plum the center opening dimension.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 10. Install the “X” (operable panel) head cover: • Check the weather stripping at the head. None should be in the way at the interior head track (see Figure M). • Back seal the center track across the head and down the panel and jamb about 13⁄8" down (see Figure M). • Butter the ends and the sealant track on the head cover and snap into place (see Figure N). • The ends are critical sealant areas. Marry the weather stripping ends with silicone sealant.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 11. Install the “X” (operable panel) threshold: • Check the weather stripping on the interior side sill track. None should be in the way (see Figure K). • Back seal the center track across the panel and the jamb about 15⁄8" up (see Figure M). • Butter the ends and the sealant track on the threshold cover and snap into place (see Figures O & P). • Aesthetically clean excess sealant, as not to break any seals, and smooth any joints.
PAGE 13
SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 12. Check the sealants and inspect to insure the frame and fixed panel are sealed tight. • The fixed panel sealant, interior track cover, and threshold sealant are critical. • Protect and allow sealant in the frame to skim over and cure prior the exterior sash installation. Step 13. Install the “X” (Operable panel). • Snap the BAM-2040 sill dam into position by placing the track notch at the jamb (see Figure P).

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 15. Install the operable panel (see Figure R). • Adjust the rollers just high enough to operate freely through the clear adjustment holes at each end (see Figure S).

Caution: No stops are installed yet. • Button the BAM-2041 stop up into the head, placing it to where the end does not pass the fixed light glazing leg. Tack it in place with one or two fasteners (see Figure T). • Operate to confirm operation and check to see that the end is just inside the meeting rail interlocker.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 18. Install hardware: • The sash is prepared for hardware from the factory. • Install per hardware installation instructions. • Adjust the sash completely before keeper installation. Measure from the sill to the hardware hook (see Figure V). • Install the keeper per the hardware instructions. • Maintain, clean, and lube the weather stripping with a tire lube or aluma lube to be sure it slides properly. • Align the tips of the keeper vertically.

SERIES 5001 SLIDING GLASS DOOR Step 19. Install screen: • Fasten the screen stop adaptor – (BAM-2023) and snap stop cover – (BAM-2023) to the jamb on the operable side (see Figure W). • Load the screen panel by lifting it over the sill and hanging it on the head roller track (see Figure X). • Attach the anti take-out clip – (BAM-2028) under the roller (see Figure Y). • Fasten the keeper and align it as shown in Figure Z.
