® Shiplap DuraPlate Lower Horizontal Panel Splice Installing the Exterior Extrusion 1. Before attempting to install the exterior extrusion, take a small cross-sectional piece of extrusion and use it to mark where the extrusion will be aligned along the wall splice. These pre-alignment marks will help the mechanics guide the 26 ft. section of extrusion exactly into place between the panels for drilling and tacking. Refer to Figure 13. 2. Ensure that all metal screw points are flush within 1 /16" to the outside panel surface before attempting to add any exterior extrusion (E7973120). 3. If the inside extrusion is pierced, you can use the hole pattern as a drill template to drill the 1 /4" rivet holes through both the DuraPlate panel and exterior extrusion. 4. Stagger the end butt joints between the inside and outside extrusions to prevent both from landing at the same locations. 5. Remember to caulk the end seams of both the lower panels and the butt ends of the extrusion before securing them together. 6. Have one person equipped with an air drill, F bit, and impact gun working inside the trailer installing rivets. Alternate between drilling holes and installing rivets, securing the extrusions. 7. Outside the trailer, have numerous people available to hold the long section of extrusion tightly in place against the wall. One person will work on a ladder bucking rivets as they are driven from the inside. WARNING: When holding the exterior extrusion in place for drilling, a wood block must be used as a buffer to protect hands from injury. 14
