Introduction

Precautions & Safety

This document describes the key steps in assembling the Panels, frame components and hardware of Eclipse Architectural C3 Folding

Panel program and is intended as an informational guide.

The KD-program assembly guide will provide generic process steps broken down in three different sequential phases and executed

in different locations :

PHase I: Panel assembly and glazing Panels - Manufacturing facilityPHase II: Assemble and install the frame into the rough opening and hang Panels – on the Job sitePHase III: Service and adjustability – on the Job site

• Do not work alone. It is recommended that at least two people work together to avoid personal injury or damage when working with the Folding Door System.

• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause serious injury.• Wear necessary protective gear (feet, ear protecting, eye protection, etc.).• Secure tools, ladders or scaffolding. Follow equipment manufacturers’ operation instructions, warnings and cautions.

Notice

Tools/ Installation Materials Required

All construction details and wall systems must be designed to manage the possibility of unanticipated infiltration of moisture past the exterior wall cladding. Incidental moisture penetrating past the wall cladding must be prevented from entering moisture sensitive areas through the use of a barrier or membrane that diverts the water to outside the building.

Eclipse Architectural is not responsible for claims or damages related to moisture infiltration resulting from : failure to install Eclipse Architectural products in accordance with the local building codes and/or construction details which, when integrated with the Panel system do not allow for the proper management of moisture within the wall system; deficient maintenance of the building; and unanticipated water infiltration.

The site specific suitability of all building details, including the appropriate Folding Panel product model, the installation details and the means of protection against air, water and structural forces is the responsibility of the customer, designer, architect, engineer, or building contractor.

Provided by Eclipse Architectural:•Appropriate fasteners for installation.

Not provided by Eclipse Architectural:•Cedar or impervious shims/spacers •Scissors or utility knife•Continuous boards of construction material to fit into jamb •Screw gun (quad and Phillips drill bits)•Closed-cell low-expansion foam •Caulking Gun• Flashing tape • Ladders• Interior trim •Glass• Tape measure •Setting blocks• Laser Level •Silicone•Square •white petroleum jelly (Vaseline)•Hammer •3M Scotch-Weld Low-Odor Acrylic Adhesive DP-810

Step A.4) Jobsite preparation considerations rough opening

Step A.5) Frame placement into rough opening

1. Ensure correct rough opening specifications :a) Measure according to signed Eclipse Architectural shop drawingb) Plumb openingc) Level openingd) Square opening

2. Make sure the frame header is designed to withstand the dead loads of all Panels including glass plus momentum and impact loading since it is a top-hung Panel system. Rough opening header must not deflect more than 1/16” (2 mm) when carrying the weight of the Panels according to hardware suppliers’ specifications.

3. Ensure the head of the Folding Panel system can be securely fastened to the header components of existing structural header beam.

4. Recommended wood framing for opening or a continuous plane of structural wood to maintain stability, ease of fastening and securing.

5. Each panel can weigh up to a maximum of 176 lbs (80 kg). Weigh one Panel or consult quote to determine total weight of Folding Panel system or contact Eclipse Architectural for the weight of each Panel.

NOTE:1. Ensure sill is plumb and level2. “Sill sag” to be no more than 1/6 *(2mm) at centre span3. “Sill bow” to be avoided at any location of the sill4. Anchoring screws are supplied by Eclipse Architectural5. Envelope details are not included in this guide. Please consult with your local building codes.6. In order to reach enhanced performance (>DP60), use extra screw line located in the shootbolt channel as per images

for head / jamb / sill.7. Seal off all installation screw holes in frame with silicone.

NOTE: 1. The supplied 3” (75mm) PH track screw is a suggested screw size only. The final screw

used must penetrate at least 1 ½” (38mm) into the rough opening structural header beam that is to carry the accumulative Panel load. The size of the bolt head should not interfere with any carrier wheels.

2. The material used for insulating the shim space should be non-expandable material.3. Avoid the head from sagging after panels are installed and after full roof load is in

place. We recommend installing the header with a slight bow (crown), but not more than 1/8” (3mm) over the full system length.

4. Anchoring screws are supplied by Eclipse Architectural.
