Layout and Canopy Mounting
- Locate the zee channel on the building wall, the zee channel is designed to be a continuous ledge with 1/2” clearance on either side for fine adjustments at assembly. Use the bottom of the zee channel for location reference and measure 3 7/8” above de sired canopy clearance height.
- Locate the tie-back wall brackets and see the submission details for location.
- Hang the main canopy via the rear frame while supporting the projection and leveling the canopy.
- Using the Ship Loose parts, sleeve the tieback tubes then bolt the tie-back tubes in place using the existing holes. Drill a 3/8” hole using the bottom hole of the outside tube as a guide, and pin the tie-back tubes in place.
- Scupper attachment: Determine the location for scupper discharge, cut a 2” hole a minimum of 3 3/8” away from the front edge of the canopy. The scupper can be located anywhere on the front gutter frame along the canopy width while maintaining the clearances defined previously.
Fascia attachment
Depending on the desired visual aesthetic you may have one of the following fascia types as shown below. All fascia types should be attached using the provided fasteners to screw into the top lip of the fascia on the mounting flange and then into the top of the channel. Starting 2” from the outside edge, screw the fascia to the flange on 12-18” centers. In multi-section applications, the fascia will arrive shipped loose, and will require field cutting and mitering at the corners as shown in Fig.9-10.
