Installation instructions for 2-1/2”, 3-5/8”, 4”, 6”, and 10” DRS Rail Systems
Install rails onto glass panel
1
Lay glass flat on saw horses. Interior side facing upward.
2
Tape proper height setting blocks to top and bottom of glass panel. Place setting blocks 2-1/2” [64mm] off each edge. (Two each for rails up to 48” [1219mm].)
Tempered monolithic glass: loosen bolts (but do not disassemble the rail), allowing both halves of rail to move freely.
Tempered laminate glass ONLY: Apply 1/8” [3] bead of 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Urethane Adhesive along inside of each section of top rail. Be sure the adhesive does not touch bottom glass pocket of rail.
3
Slide rail onto glass until setting blocks are snug against rail.
4
Gently hand-tighten the bolts.
5
Firmly tighten all bolts to appropriately specified torque. Start at center bolt and work outward. Repeat tightening sequence.
Tempered monolithic: start at 10 ft-lbs (14Nm); work up to 15 ft-lbs (20Nm).
Tempered laminate glass: start at 4 ft-lbs [5.5Nm]; work up to 8 ft-lbs [11Nm] (clamping surface must be flat)
6
Follow step 2 through 5 for bottom rail.
7
Check total height and corner-to-corner for squareness, accounting for top and bottom cover thickness. Adjust rail accordingly.
