For All Mull/Stack Installs
– Caulk Units –
IMPORTANT: High-quality, exterior,
neutral-cure, clear, silicone sealant (compatible
with vinyl extrusion) is to be used for all
procedures in the following instructions which
call for caulking or sealant.
1. Apply a continuous bead of sealant on the top of
the door’s head frame and on the bottom of the
transom’s sill where the nailing fins have been
removed (FIGURE 4).
2. Place the units in the position that they will be
assembled and clamp tightly together.
NOTE: Clamps are an assembly aid and should be
removed before installing the stacked unit
into the structure.
3. Use a level to align door and transom. Ensure
units line up vertically and horizontally on both
sides (FIGURE 5).
4. Use a metal bracket (FIGURE 6), an interior
installation clip is shown, to secure the transom to
the door. Apply bracket to door and transom with
#8 x 1/2" long Phillips head sheet metal screws.
NOTE: Maintain alignment of door and transom as
brackets are attached.
5. Work back and forth between door and transom
side of bracket until screws are placed in all the
holes (FIGURE 7).
6. Wipe off any excess caulk with a shop towel
dampened with denatured alcohol.
