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).
• Seal the interior frame and aesthetically clean it. Seal all openings.
