Installation (Cont'd)
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B. When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.
All cases were leveled and joined prior to shipment to insure the closest possible fit when cases are joined in the field. When joining, use a carpenters level and shim legs accordingly. Case must be raised correctly, under legs where support is best, to prevent damage to case.
1.Check level of floor where cases are to be set. Determine the highest point of the floor; cases will be set off this point.
2.Level and set the first case, carefully guiding the electrical, refrigeration and drain lines through the parent case. Case must be raised under legs where support is best to prevent damage to case. Internal bracing may be removed at this time.
3.Set second case as close as possible to the first case carefully guiding its electrical, refrigeration and drain lines through the parent case, and level case to the first using the instructions in step one.
4.Apply masking tape 1/8” in from end of case on inside and outside rear mullion on both cases to be joined.
5.Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to
(dotted area shown in figure) first case. Apply heavy amount to cover entire shaded area.
DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!

It is the contractor’s responsibility to install case(s) according to local construction and health codes.
6.Slide second case up to first case snugly. Then level second case to the first case so glass front, bumper and top are flush.
Do not use the top bracket on the
rear mullion to pull the cases together.
7.To compress silicone at joint, use two Jurgenson wood clamps. Make sure case is level from front to back and side to side on inside bulkheads at joint.
8.Attach sections together with the two 3/8” bolts provided, below the deck at the mullion towards the rear of the
9.Apply bead of silicone to top of bulkheads and slip on stainless steel bulkhead cap. Also apply silicone to seam between overhead light tubes.
10.VERY IMPORTANT! Apply liberal amounts of black silicone to fill all voids down to bulkhead.
Proper case-joint sealing is
extremely important to prevent
water leaks!
11.Use finger to smooth silicone as thin as possible at masking tape on inside and outside of rear mullion (apply additional silicone if necessary). Remove tape applied on line #3.
Joint Trim
After cases have been leveled and joined, and refrigeration, electrical, and wasted piping work completed, install the splashguards. Fasten along the top edge, or center, with #10 X 3/3” sheet metal screws.
