Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions Section IX: Glazing Preparation Step #4 Install Glazing Adaptors A.) Prior to installing the glazing adaptors, seal the entire gasket raceway with sealant. B.) Snap glazing adaptors in place into sealant starting with the verticals. Allow at least 1/8” clearance from the bottom of the glazing adaptor to the top of the joint plug to allow for weepage. C.) Butter the ends of the horizontal adaptors prior to setting into position.
Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions Section X: Glazing Installation Step #1 Install Glazing Materials A.) Install the proper glazing product into the opening using section cups to hold the infill above the sill horizontal and set the jamb side of the glass into the deep pocket. Swing the opposite side of the glass into the shallow pocket. Gently lower the material onto the setting blocks with the exterior face of the glass pushed up against the exterior gasket.
Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions Section X: Glazing Installation Step #2 Install Glazing Bead Apply a small bead of sealant in the bead reglet Butter the side of the mullion where the glazing bead comes into contact with sealant Intermediate Horizontal Step #3 Install Wedge Gasket Drive the wedge gaskets into position starting at the center of the D.L.O.

After infill is in place, apply the pressure plates and seal between pressure plates, then tool sealant into joint and smooth.
Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions Section XII: Exterior Cover Installation Step #1 Apply Exterior Covers A.) Locate and apply vertical covers as shown on the Approved Final Shop Drawings. Engage one side, then use the mallet and block to engage the opposite side. B.) Center the horizontal snap cover in the opening and apply it in the same manner. Gaps at the ends should be split equally and are to allow for thermal movement and weepage. Note: Exterior horizontal snap covers are cut D.
Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions Section XII: Exterior Cover Installation Step #2 Secure Exterior Covers A.) On vertical covers 1” in depth and over, it is necessary to install a 1/16” X 5/16” roll pin at the horizontal cover locations to prevent slippage. B.) On horizontal covers 1” in depth and over, it is necessary to mechanically attach the cover to the pressure plate similar to what is shown below to insure against disengagement of cover from pressure plate. 1” and up.
Series 5600 Inside Glazed Installation Instructions Section XIII: Reinforcing Step #1 Install Reinforcing Steel A.) At large spans or in high wind load areas, internal steel reinforcement may be necessary. Reinforcement steel requirements will vary from job to job. Please reference the Approved Final Shop Drawings for steel reinforcement requirements. B.) When steel reinforcement is factory installed into the mullions, fasteners will be used to prevent damage or slippage of the steel during shipment.
