Shiplap DuraPlate Lower Horizontal Panel Splice
Installing the Inside Extrusion
1. Clean up any sharp edges along the cut skin surface using a file or
disc sander.
2. Starting at the front corner, place the first section of extrusion (E7963120)
up tight against the upper cut edge of the inside wall. Secure it in place
using a #10 sheet metal screw 1- 1 /2" in length placed every 12" to 15"
along the top flange. The bottom flange can be tacked after the lower wall
panel has been set into place. Since the extrusion is 26 ft. long, it helps to
use Vise-Grips ® Locking C-Clamps to hold it into place while tacking.
3. Continue to attach the extrusion to the top portion of side wall until both
26-ft. sections are tacked in place. Caulk the end butt joints of each piece
before mating the ends permanently.
4. Have a person on the outside break off the metal screw points flush with
the side panel surface before attempting to add the exterior extrusion. It
may be necessary to grind off the screw tips to ensure they do not
protrude more than 1 /16".
