40 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 x 1-½" 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. Locations are shown below for standard two-panel systems. For manual application, we suggest using 4d-1-½" finish nails. They can be used to secure interior casing to the frame. Pre-drilled pilot holes (1/16" dia.) are recommended to avoid splitting casing or frame. Ensure that nails are installed through anchor blocks for maximum holding power. 1" 6 1/4" 5" 6 1/4" 5" 5" System Center Line 5" 5" Lock Center Line 5" 5" 39

41 D TRIPLE SYSTEM INFORMATION The intention of this section is to clarify the differences between a triple mulled and triple continuous Slim-Line Patio Door System. Handing Configurations for a Mulled Triple: FLF (Fixed, Left Hand Active, Fixed) FRF (Fixed, Right Hand Active, Fixed) LFF* (Left Hand Active, Fixed, Fixed) FFR* (Fixed, Fixed, Right Hand Active) Handing Configurations for a Continuous 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 the automatic default. If a LFF or FFR is needed in a mulled configuration it can be ordered as a 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.
