### Things to Know Before You Get Started
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Read over the provided material prior to the start of your installation
\
• This is, at minimum, a 2 person job
\
• Viewrail Glass systems and fittings are designed to have a 1" gap between
panels of glass
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Use a pencil and either a long straight edge or laser level
to mark the pin placements based on the engineering
\
prints provided to you
\
• It is important to make sure the hole locations are in line
and level to each other
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• It is important to mount glass structure to a solid
material - **Do not mount any hardware to drywall or
other compressible material**
\
• Use a drywall circle cutter or a 1-5
/8" hole saw to remove
the drywall from the mounting location
\
• Try not to go any deeper than the drywall, as the center
hole of the hole will need a pilot hole drilled into it to
received a screw that will hold the standoff pin in place
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
**Drywall or Wood**
\
• Using a 15/64" drill bit, drill a pilot hole where the pencil
lines cross about 4-1
/2" deep
\
**Concrete**
\
• Refer to the recommendation of the brand of epoxy
you are using and predrill the correct sized holes for
these 3
/8" threaded studs
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
**Drywall or Wood**
\
• Using a 3
/8" x 6" lag bolt & a 3
/8" washer, secure the
Standoff Pin Mount into the holes drilled in Step 3
\
• The slotted hole is there to allow for some adjustment of
the final position of the pins to ensure they line up with
the holes in the glass
\
**Concrete**
\
• Apply concrete epoxy in to the holes as indicated
\
• Insert the threaded studs into each hole
\
• Allow the epoxy to cure per manufacturer’s specs
\
• Torque to 50 lb-ft
\
\&#xNAN;*Note: SEOR is responsible to determine if the attachment is adequate*
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Once your standoff pin mount is centered, thread on the
Standoff Pin Base
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Using string and a line level, ensure that the upper row
of pins are level with each other
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Following the same process as the upper row pins,
mount the lower pins
\
• Ensure they are plumb
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Use the optional Standoff Pin Skirt to cover any wall
blemishes
\
• Secure with a small amount of silicone
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Thread a Standoff Pin Lock Screw into the standoff pin
and secure it with a 3
/16" Allen wrench
\
• Place a plastic bushing onto each Standoff Pin cover
\
\&#xNAN;*Note: Take this time to ensure the wall is cleaned of all pencil
lines etc. before proceeding. There will be very little space
between the wall and glass once it is mounted.*
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Using glass suction cup handles, position the 1st glass
panel into place
\
• Slide it over the plastic bushing on each pin
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• While a partner holds the glass panel in place, select the
remaining plastic washer and the Standoff Pin Cap
\
• Place the plastic washer on the cap’s threaded stud,
and thread the Cap into the Standoff Pin Base
\
• This will hold the glass
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Repeat Steps 10-11 for the remaining glass panels
\
• Ensure that glass panels are level and plumb with
each other
\
• Tighten all Standoff Pin Caps the supplied strap wrench
\
\&#xNAN;*Note: Because the holes made in the glass are bigger than
the pins that hold them, you can position and reposition the
glass to ensure that all panels line up the way they should.*
