Series 5600 Outside Glazed Installation InstructionsSection I: General Notes & GuidelinesF. Follow EFCO framing installation and glazing instructions.G. Verify contents of all material shipments received upon arrival. Verifyquantities and correct finishes. NOTIFY EFCO IMMEDIATELY OF ANYDISCREPANCIES OR DAMAGE, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED.H. Throughout these instructions the term “SEALANT” will appear. For thepurposes of these instructions, sealant is to be defined as the following:SEALANT - A weather resistant, gunnable liquid filler which when curedprovides a resilient, flexible (± 50% movement capability) air and water sealbetween similar and dissimilar materials.All sealant must meet ASTM C 920, CLASS 50.BUTYL SEALANT- A non-skinning, non-hardening material (NAAMMReference Standard 5C-1)NOTE: All sealant must be compatible with all surfaces where adhesion isrequired, including other sealant surfaces. All frame surfaces shouldbe clean, dry, dust, and frost free. If a primer is required, it must beapplied to clean surfaces. All perimeter substrates shall be clean andproperly treated to receive sealant.This system is designed and has been tested to utilize butyl orsilicone sealants at all internal joineries, i.e., joint plugs, gasketintersections, etc.Regardless of the sealant used, the customer should contact thesealant manufacturer to determine compatibility and adhesion.Follow sealant manufacturer's proper application procedures andquality assurance programs for weather sealing.Maintain caulk joints as shown in the approved shop drawings.Unless specified otherwise, most sealant manufacturers recommenda 3/8” minimum perimeter caulk joint. A 3/4” minimum joint isrecommended at the head condition to accommodate thermalexpansion and contraction. A 3/4” minimum joint is required at thejamb conditions to accommodate installation.Anchoring surfaces of perimeter construction must be level andplumb within the adjustable limits of the head, jamb, and sillframing.EFCO CORPORATION 6/2012 PART NO.

Series 5600 Outside Glazed Installation InstructionsSection VII: Glazing PreparationSTEP #4 Install Gaskets In Mullion(Continued)IMPORTANT NOTE: The glazing must be set immediately after positioning thesetting blocks (see step #5) BEFORE the sealant begins to cure. Secure theglazing with temporary glazing retainers. The glazing retainers should be locatedclose to the corners of the glazing infill and spaced not more than 30” on center,depending on infill size. If the sealant hardens before the glazing infill has beenset, proper gasket compression at the corners will be impeded and will result inleakage.To ensure a snug fit, sealall gasket corners bypulling the horizontalgasket back, sealing theends and pressing thegasket back into thevertical gasket.Preset gaskets.IMPORTANT NOTE: Applysealant to the face of the jointplugs prior to installing thepressure plate. Do not sealuntil immediately before thevertical pressure plates areapplied. Sealant must not beallowed to “skin” over beforeinstalling the pressure plate.Setting blocks located perapproved shop drawingsCustomer / Installer Note: EFCO setting blocks aretypically 4" in length with different depths. If the glazinginfill is "NOT BY EFCO" and glazing sizes are larger than40 square feet, the glazing details must be reviewed bythe glazing manufacturer for proper setting block size.STEP #5 Install Setting BlocksPosition and install the setting blocks as directed on the approved shop drawings.NOTE: Do NOT set setting blocks in a bed of sealant. This can cause interferencewhen the glass and horizontal covers are applied.EFCO CORPORATION 6/2012 PART NO. YS56 Page 34 of 54

Series 5600 Outside Glazed Installation InstructionsSection VIII: Glazing InstallationSTEP #1 Install Glazing InfillA.) Install the proper glazing infill product into the opening using suction cupsto gently lower the infill onto the setting blocks.B.) Position the infill glazing in the center of the opening, maintaining a ½”glass bite around the entire perimeter.C.) Lift the infill slightly off the setting blocks, and press the glass firmly againstthe interior glazing gaskets at the sill horizontal.STEP #2 Install Temporary RetainersA.) Depending on the installation sequence, it may be desirable to installtemporary glazing retainers to hold the glazing infill in the opening. Applythe retainers as needed; HOWEVER, it is strongly suggested that retainers bespaced no more than 30” apart. They are intended for SHORT-TERMtemporary applications only and are not to be left UNATTENDED or OVERNIGHT. (TEMPORARY RETAINERS DO NOT MEET STRUCTURAL LOADREQUIREMENTS AND CAN FAIL UNDER MINIMAL DESIGN LOADS.)STEP #3 Install Anti-Walk BlocksF.)Install and position anti-walk blocks in the jamb pocket at approximatelythe center of the vertical D.L.O.NOTE: The typical glass bite for the captured system is ½”.Glass sizes are based on D.L.O. plus 1” formula.NOTE: Impact glazing glass bite is ¾”. Glass sizes are basedon D.L.O. plus 1 ½” formula.NOTE: Clean all glazing pockets prior to glazing. This step isnecessary to avoid clogging the weep system, as well as toprevent staining of the exterior metal and glass surfaces.EFCO CORPORATION 6/2012 PART NO. YS56 Page 35 of 54

Series 5600 Outside Glazed Installation InstructionsSTEP #1 Locate Splice JointsSection X: Vertical Splice JointsA.) Splice joints should occur at spandrel areas (if possible). Refer to approvedshop drawings for actual locations.B.) Depending on job specific requirements, the splice sleeve may be shop orfield assembled in the top of the lower mullion. If materials are fieldfabricated, use the following assembly instructions. Where head clearance isinsufficient to allow the top mullion to be lifted over the splice sleeve, aretractable sleeve will be used. The sleeve is to be taped into the bottom ofthe top mullion and dropped down to the stop screw in the mullion below.C.) GENERAL NOTE: The following pages depict a splice joint of ½”. Therequired joint width must be determined at the design stage and shown onthe approved shop drawings on a job specific basis. The actual width of thisjoint depends on the expected movement of the building structure.D.) Refer to this section for cover splice locations, pressure plate splicelocations, and sealing instructions.E.) Once a final check of expansion joint placement and mullion position ismade, the final match drilling of mullion through anchor holes may becompleted.Splice sleevestop screw.Mullion splicesleeve with bondbreaker tape.Field install backer rod at thesplice joint in pressure plates,mullions, adapters, andcovers to back up all sealant.Plan View-Mullion SpliceEFCO CORPORATION 6/2012 PART NO.
