Assembly Instructions
Stacking Sections - Top Cap
Installation
Note: Top caps are installed to
the top of stacking sections. They
connect together using horizontal
splice plates in-line. Top caps
utilize metal intersection caps at
intersections. Top caps secure
the top tile when installed and are
held in place by spring clips.
1. Top cap installation should
begin at an intersection
utilizing the appropriate metal
intersection cap (see page 63,
Detail G - Intersection Caps),
by first connecting top caps
to the intersection cap. Attach
by inserting the tabs of the
intersection cap into the narrow
slots on the top cap as illustrated
(Figures 13 & 14).
2. Each top cap includes one metal
horizontal splice plate to align
multiple top caps. Insert the splice
plate into the end of the top cap
and join in-line top caps together
before installing to stacking
sections (Figures 13 & 14).
3. Set the joined top caps in place
on the panel frames as you move
along, but do not snap in place
at this time. Repeat step 2 above,
joining top caps with splice
plates until you reach either an
end-of-run, or a change-of-height
condition.
Note: Metal end caps will be
installed with vertical trim after
top caps are installed.
4. After all top caps and intersection
caps are in place press down
along the top cap at all spring clip
locations to secure top caps in
place (Figure 13 & 14).
