1. Cases to be joined properly before continuing to step 2. Refer to
CASE – JOINT CAULKING INSTRUCTION for more information. This
document is included in your information packet. Avoid excess caulk
during this step to prevent it from coming out of the joints. This will affect
step 2 as butyl and silicone sealants do not mix.
2. Apply silicone-based caulk-sealant bead to areas shown at left to meet
sealant requirements for NSF-approved installations.
3. Apply small beads of sealant smoothly at seams between end frame
of case and end panel or insulated divider, but do not thin or feather
excessively, because it may affect adhesion.
*Seal between all access holes and cut-outs between end frame of case.
NOTE: Caulk sealant lines are shown dashed in views at left. Field caulk
sealant must be applied in a continuous fashion to seal the affected area
with the desired bead width and penetration.
SURFACES OF AREAS TO BE CAULKED SHOULD BE CLEAN, DRY, AND FREE OF FROST.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ABOVE 40
