Joinery Type Detail
Vertical/horizontal intersections
Square‐cut and butted
All horizontal members were secured to the vertical members with an extruded aluminum shear block/anchor clip. The shear block was secured to the vertical member with three #14 x 1‐1/2" long self‐tapping hex head screws. The horizontal members were secured to the shear block with two #8 x 1" long flat head screws. The shear blocks on either side of the center vertical member at the center horizontals were secured to each other with two 3/8 x 4" long bolts through the center vertical member.
Pressure plates N/A
All pressure plates were secured to the main frame members with 1/4" x 1" long hex head screws spaced 16" on center. All pressure plates utilized a snap‐fit aluminum cover.
5.3 Weatherstripping:
