4-Wide – Inactive Insert Installation
1. Stand completed frame up so sill is down and it
rests on a firm, level, uniformly supporting surface.
2. Brace frame with sturdy temporary supports so
inactive inserts can be installed.
Temporary supports must
hold frame securely to:
a. Prevent personal injury.
b. Prevent property damage.
c. Keep frame and inserts aligned as inserts
are installed.
NOTE: Procedures given for inactive insert
installation are for one side. You could
alternate sides with each step and install
both inserts simultaneously.
3. Remove any packing material, hardware pack-
ages, and shipping fasteners.
4. Brush off loose dirt and debris. Sealant must
adhere to frame’s surface. If frame is dirty wash
with mild detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Using a high-quality, exterior, neutral-cure, clear,
silicone sealant (compatible with frame and panel
surfaces) lay a continuous bead along vertical joint
in side jamb where inactive panel and side jamb
will meet (FIGURES 1 & 1A).
6. Fill the pocket where sill and side jamb meet
with a generous amount of sealant (FIGURE 2).
Do not get caulk into or onto sill or door weep
areas (FIGURE 3)!
7. Install a vinyl bumper on the head jamb for
active panel with two #6 x 1-1/2" Phillips flat head
18-8 stainless steel screws (FIGURE 4). Do not
overtighten. Screw head should be flush; not set
below surface!
