### Vedera Tread Installation Steps
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Once your FLIGHT treads are installed, count the
predrilled standoff pin hanger bolts and prepare the
correct amount of pin hardware
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Thread a Glass Stud over each hanger bolt until the stud
is flush against the tread
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Slide a plastic bushing over each Glass Stud
\
• At this point, read the rest of the instructions & prep
the remaining hardware for the first panel you will
be installing
\
• This will shorten the amount of time manually holding
the panel in place
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Refer to the engineering prints provided to you to
identify the first panel
\
• With the help of a partner, use Glass Suction Cup
Handles to position the 1st glass panel into place
\
• Slide the holes in the panel over each gasket and hold
this in place while the remaining hardware is mounted
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column width="50%" %}
• While your partner holds the glass in place, slide the
Vedera Shim then the Metal Clamp Plate over each of
the hanger bolts as shown
{% endcolumn %}
{% column width="50%" %}
• Slide a Vedera Pin on to each of the hanger bolts
\
• Continue to hold the panel in place as the fastening
mechanism is applied in the following step
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Hand tighten a nut on to each hanger bolt
\
• There will be play in the exact positioning of the glass
panel, this will allow you to make adjustments in Step 10
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Using a torque wrench and a 9
/16" socket head, tighten
the first and last nut on the Vedera Pin to 23 lb ft
\
• This will make it easier if you need to readjust the fitment
once all the other glass panels are installed
Repeat **STEPS 1-8** for each panel on
\
your run
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Once all the panels are in place, ensure that each is
aligned with it’s neighbors
\
• There will be a 1" gap between panels
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
• Using a torque wrench and a 9
/16" socket head, tighten
all the remaining nuts on the Vedera Pins to 23 lb ft
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
• Identify and prepare the Vedera wood covers
\
• Although the rubber O rings will provide a snug fit in the
predrilled holes for the wood covers, it is recommended
to use silicone on the face of the pin around the bolt
hole in order to provide additional strength
\
• Apply a line of silicone around each O ring
\
• Attach the wood covers onto each pin
\
• These will fit snugly and could require soft taps to place
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
*If your FLIGHT system has a platform and there are at least
two long Vedera Caps that meet at a corner, they will come
to you with an extra few inches of cap. This is so you can dry
fit them and cut on site for the best look possible.*
