C INTERIOR CASING ATTACHMENT

Interior casing may be attached to the Slim-Line frame in either of the following ways.

An air nailer can be used to fasten the interior casing to the Slim-Line frame using 0.050” x1- wire brad nails through the casing and fiberglass frame. For maximum holding power,ensure that nails are installed through anchor blocks located within frame profiles. Locationsare shown below for standard two-panel systems.

For manual application, we suggest using 4d-1- finish nails. They can be used to secure interiorcasing to the frame. Pre-drilled pilot holes (1/16 dia.) are recommended to avoid splitting casing orframe. Ensure that nails are installed through anchor blocks for maximum holding power.

The intention of this section is to clarify the differences between a triple mulled andtriple continuous Slim-Line Patio Door System.

Handing Configurations for a Mulled Triple:

LFF* (Left Hand Active, Fixed, Fixed)FFR* (Fixed, Fixed, Right Hand Active)

When ordering a LFF or FFR patio door the continuous configuration will be used as theautomatic default. If a LFF or FFR is needed in a mulled configuration it can be ordered asa double and a multiple extension system and then joined in the field.

Please note that the overall width of a mulled system is different then that of a continuous system.Another significant difference between a mulled triple and a continuous triple is the packaging.A triple continuous system will be shipped in two uni-boxes and a long frame box.In comparison, a mulled system will ship in just two boxes.

FLF (Fixed, Left Hand Active, Fixed)FRF (Fixed, Right Hand Active, Fixed)

Handing Configurations for a Continuous Triple:

LFF (Left Hand Active, Fixed, Fixed)FFR (Fixed, Fixed, Right Hand Active)
