INSTALLATION, CONT'D: CASE ADJOINMENT INSTRUCTIONS
4. Case Adjoinment Instructions
>> Warranty is void if improper sealant/urethane is used.
>> Lay generous beads of sealant/urethane as specified.
A. Prior To Adjoinment - Apply Industrial Grade
Urethane Adhesive at Center of Uprights
• Lay a generous bead of industrial grade urethane
adhesive at center of uprights (in non-visible areas).
• This urethane adhesive prevents refrigerated air from
escaping between cases (causing condensation and
reducing refrigeration efficiency) as well as preventing
ants or other insects from entering case.
• See industrial grade urethane adhesive illustration
below-left.
B. Adjoining Cases - Using Bolts and Nuts
• Use appropriately sized nuts and bolts for each hole.
#1 - Hole is accessible through rear sliding door (if you
are able to avoid gas cylinder, attach bolt); otherwise
start at #2 in bolt/nut attachment process.

#2 - Holes are accessible through rear sliding door.
#3 - Holes are accessible at underside of decking.
Decking must be removed to attach bolts/nuts.
#4 - Holes are accessible at base frame (through front of
case after front toe-kick has been removed).
• Tighten nuts securely (but do not over-tighten).
• See illustration below.
C. After Adjoinment - Apply Food Grade Silicone Sealant
To Inner And Outer Seams
• After all nuts/bolts are securely attached to case, apply a
generous bead of food grade silicone sealant at both inner
and outer seams.
• When properly applied, this food grade silicone sealant will
prevent water from seeping between cases (into the case or
to the floor) as well as crumbs or other residue from
entering between case seams.
• See silicone sealant illustration
below-left.
>> You must reattach toe-kick and
decking after case adjoinment
process is complete.
