1. PLUMBING SHOE MOULDING
Before completing attachment of Shoe Moulding for GlassWedge™ to substrate – in multi-panel railings – take all necessary steps to assure that the mounted shoe is adjusted such that the inside channel of the shoe moulding is plumb to +/- 1/8" at an extended height of 42". Spend the time required to plumb the shoe to this tolerance since the glass will only be as plumb as the shoe. |

One method for plumbing the shoe is the Plumbing Plate Kit.
a. Position Plumbing Plate with Isolator in Shoe Moulding and secure using temporary Isolator Setting Tool.
b. Shim Shoe Moulding as needed until a level indicates vertical plumb. Refer to page 40 for Shims.
c. Remove Plumbing Plate and repeat as needed to confirm plumb throughout your installation.
2. CLEAR THE SHOE MOULDING OF ALL DEBRIS
3. PLACE ISOLATORS
Slip GlassWedge™ Isolators on to bottom of glass panel and adjust to proper spacing shown above. With Multi-Panel Railings, do not line up the edge of a panel with the end of the shoe – place the panels so that they span PanelGripTM Shoe Moulding butt joints to assist in alignment. | |
|
|
4. PLACE GLASS
Insert glass panel into the base shoe, adjust panel spacing and insert Temporary Wedge Tool between Plumbing Plate and Shoe Moulding.
Note: With multi-panel railings, do not line up the edge of a panel with the end of the shoe – place the panels so that they span PanelGripTM Shoe Moulding butt joints to assist in alignment. |

| TEMPORARY WEDGE TOOL |
| Designed to allow aligning of the glass panel without the use of an aluminum wedge. |

| REMOVAL OF GLASS |
 |
The GlassWedge Removal Tool may be used to remove the
aluminum wedge thereby
releasing the glass from the Shoe Moulding.
• Place the tong portion of the tool into the shoe opening such that the tongs slip under the aluminum wedge notches.
• Place the hook of the tool into the tong’s slot.
• Slide the handle into the unit.
• Press down to lift the aluminum wedge out of the base. | |
5. INSERT ALUMINUM WEDGES
Insert Aluminum Wedges at each Isolator. Use Chisel and Hammer to drive wedges into locked position. Remove Temporary Wedge Tool. Glass is now secure and ready for Cap Rail installation. |
 |
Note: If you find the Aluminum Wedge does not set below the notch on the inside of the shoe, do not drive any further. Remove wedge and confirm dimensions on glass and Shoe Moulding. | |
6. INSERT SPACING PADS
Repeat with other lites of glass. Insert 1/4" Spacing and Sealing Pads between glass panels to prevent glass-to-glass contact. Use with Rigid Spacer Blocks for slant pours. Trim as required. |
| SPACER BLOCKS AND TOOL |
