Series 8700 / 8800 Unitized Curtain Wall Installation Instructions
1. Install each frame unit in sequence, starting at the left jamb unit.
2. Lift the jamb unit with the splice bars at the head of the unit.
3. Ensure the HC07 caulk backer has been inserted into the sill as shown in Figures 62 and 64 on page 31. Note that jamb units will receive HC07 on both ends
of the sill. Subsequent units will require HC07 on the right end only of the unit sill as viewed from the exterior.
4. When stacking units vertically, place a temporary 5/8” shim between the units as shown in Figure 97. The shims are used to hold the unit in the nominal
installed position.
5. Apply a shim between the end dam at the stack gutter and the condition to protect the end dam during unit installation. See Figures 97 and 98.
6. Lower the jamb unit down into position to engage the unit splice bars (FM13, FM14 at 7” system) (FM15, FM16 at 8” system) at the stack joint. The hook
anchors should also be hooked onto the slab anchor. The unit should now be setting hard on the shims. See Figures 97, 98 and 99.
7. Place a shim pack between the jamb mullion and the condition to prevent the jamb unit from shifting when setting adjacent units. See Figures 97 and 98.
