hInstall main fasteners throughthe male joint at panel endinto each vertical rail location

Note: Some installations may requireadditional fasteners depending on windloadings/specification. Check projectspecific details.

eA VJ1 EPDM bubble gasket is required at eachvertical panel joint detail to provide an air seal.Apply gasket to the vertical steel member, ensurethat it overlaps the vertical leg of the drip flashing

fApply an unbroken 6mm Ø bead of gun-gradesealant to provide an air seal between back of

panel and drip support angle. This air seal shouldmeet the previously installed bubble gasket

kLower the next panel (P2) into position ensuring that thefactory applied weather seal is compressed and that the AWPfiller remains in position.

lLocate the preformed corner panel (C1)

on panel bearers ensuring panel is evenlyspaced and correctly positioned between

the vertical joint centres and install mainfasteners through the male joint

oThe gap between the panel ends is to be filled with PIRinsulation board or gun applied fire rated canister insulationto a depth to suit the top hat section. If PIR board is used,ensure that continuity of insulation is achieved by filling anygaps with fire rated canister applied insulation

Note: There are several types of vertical joint options. This guide assumes that anOption C top hat detail is being used.

nLower the preformed corner panel (C2) into position ensuringthat the factory applied weather seal is compressed and that

the AWP filler remains in position. Ensure that the panel isevenly spaced and correctly positioned between the vertical

joint centres and install main fasteners into each vertical steelmember as previous. Refer to h and i

qApply 9 x 4mm PVC sealant to internal

legs of SP8 (joint option C) extrudedaluminium top hat section

pPrior to installation of the top hatapply a silicone sealant to horizontalpanel joint at panel ends in line withAWP filler

sPlace the top hat in to the vertical joint, aligned to the

bottom of the panel. Fix through the insulation infill to thevertical steel member at max. 500mm centres, ensuringtop hat is pulled tightly against panel to ensure effective

weather seal. Care must be taken not to overdrive
