Some technical publications illustrate this from of installation, 2. SELECTION OF SIZE a) Serrated Weatherstrip ~ Typically, the diagonal of the gap is measured. To this add between 20% & 25% and try to fit. b) Serrated Weatherstrip can be ‘nicked! at the required width, and torn longitudinally along a serration to give an ‘on-site’ fine tuning of the width required. ©) Cruciform is only available in two sizes, and thus accurately placing of concrete panels is most important. Although more difficult to install, (much greater resistance to being pulled through) the 4 tip sealing characteristic of the Granor Cruciform Seal provides a more effective and reliable sealing device. 4) Determination of correct fit ~ Wherever possible design a recess to comply with dimensions and the style of selected weatherstrip. Although the Cruciform will distort into 4 pronged radial shape similar to that iilustrated, thus effectively reducing the diagonal of the splines yet still applying considerable sealing pressure at the lips of the seal, some trial & error may be required at site, It is better to err towards a tight” fit as trimming will permit easier installation, than to have an excessive gap, not suitable for a standard size weatherstrip. ) Cutting Back - If placement of the panels is such the installation becomes too difficult, then the CCruciform leg(s) can be trimmed back by using a sharp knife, a stee! edge, and a timber backing piece, and slitting off a suitable amount of material. S.INSTALLATION a) Serrated Weatherstrip \. Typically, this is installed as shown in Fig. 1. An oversize section is pulled into the gap to be sealed, and takes up a position in a half moon shape ~ as illustrated. |. Selection of width ~ Because the panels can vary from their theoretically correct position, trial and error May be required to determine the most suitable width. lil, A string is tied to one end, and this end of the Weatherstrip is inserted at the top and pulled through. Reduction in resistance to insertion can be achieved by, = adding water as a lubricant, or = _ by applying tension to the loose end ~ thus slightly reducing the cross section of the seal. Iv. A bung’, ‘plug’ or ‘dob’ of sealant is suggested at the lower end to ensure that it cannot fall through. ) The Cruciform ~ "Cross" or "X" |. Design the panels to have the dimensions shown in Table 1. li, Alternatively, measure the diagonal of the gap to be sealed, add 5% to 10% to overall (diagonal!) width of the Cruciform, and trim to this dimension. Try for fit before trimming additional material ‘Tha eforaton contains roche babe ob acca and real.
