Step 4 Position the aluminum retainer according to the number of closure caps to be used.
• When using top and bottom caps or top cap only: Locate the aluminum 5/16 inch
below the desired overall height of the installed corner guard inclusive of closure
caps, and top of filler strip, see fig 3a.
• When using a bottom cap only: Locate the aluminum 5/16 inch above the desired
overall bottom of the installed corner guard inclusive of closure cap, and bottom of
filler strip, see fig 3b.
• When using no caps: Locate the aluminum at the desired overall bottom of the
installed corner guard, flush with end of filler strip, see fig 3c.
Caution: The aluminum retainer for all stock length corner guards is pre-cut to
accommodate two closure caps regardless of whether or not they are actually used.
As a result, the aluminum may be supplied at a length shorter than the snap on cover.
To ensure the correct mating of closure caps with aluminum retainer it is necessary to
identify and follow the appropriate closure cap installation condition above.
Important: Always make sure there is adequate clearance between closure caps and
adjacent construction. If no bottom cap is used, the corner guard must contact a surface
that will prevent the snap on cover form sliding out of position.
Step 5 Using the appropriate hardware according to wall construction, mount aluminum
retainer to wall with filler strip held in place at the correct height and centered as
described in Step 2. See Step 6 for fastening at closure caps.
• Drywall Installation: Locate mounting holes at closure caps and along the retainer
not to exceed 32 inches on center, see fig 2. If it is necessary to install fasteners
in locations where there is no metal backing or stud use pre-drilled aluminum as
a template to mark and drill wall for plastic Alligator insert in accordance with
instructions provided with hardware.
• Masonry Installation: Using the pre-drilled aluminum as a template, mark and drill
the wall at all pre-drilled holes to accept hardware listed on page 6.
