- Field measure all lengths and directional changes for aluminum extrusions to ensure their proper
layout where required. Mount extrusions to wall surface and install temporary wood blocking to
secure extrusions for field drilling operations. Wood blocking should be non-continuous to permit
field drilling anchor holes at required spacing.
* Note: Always review architectural plans for specific project requirements
- Apply continuous bead of NP-1 Sealant along back of the aluminum extrusions prior to
installation. (exterior only)

Visual Seal
Prima Lub
Locking Lug
1. Cut ends of the WSW visual seal, with a sharp knife, to the desired angle using a formed jig with miter box
(supplied by contractor). Insure cuts are clean, straight and square.
2. Cleans ends of seal with a solvent to remove any foreign material.
3. Brush apply PP Primer to both seal ends to be joined together at splice.
4. Reassemble mitered ends of adjacent seals utilizing the reinforcing corner clips (for 90° transitions only).
5. Apply Aron Alpha 241F adhesive as specified by the manufacturer to one of the two seal surfaces to be
bonded.
6. Apply pressure bringing the two surfaces in tight contact immediately upon completing application of the
adhesive. Hold in place for approximately one to two minutes to allow adhesion.
7. Re-check quality of all miters or splices and apply additional adhesive if required to ensure proper miter or
splice.
8. Contact manufacturer for clarification of above procedure (if required) prior to proceeding with splicing visual
seal profile. It is usually recommended to allow 15 minutes time before installing spliced seal. Care shall be
excercised as a result that it takes 24 hours for adhesive to fully cure.

Use Jeene Profile Glue to fold
and bond side flaps together.
Notes:
1. Overall width of Boot Transition will be determined on the amount of movement the
WSW system can accommodate during normal movement ranges. WBA suggests
that the dimension will be at least Maximum Opening plus 1". This is to ensure that
there will not be any damage to the boot while the system is at maximum opening.

1. Cut ends of the WSW visual seal, with a sharp knife, to the desired angle using a formed jig with miter box
(supplied by contractor). Insure cuts are clean, straight and square.
2. Cleans ends of seal with a solvent to remove any foreign material.
3. Brush apply PP Primer to both seal ends to be joined together at splice.
4. Reassemble mitered ends of adjacent seals utilizing the reinforcing corner clips (for 90° transitions only).
5. Apply 241F adhesive as specified by the manufacturer to one of the two seal surfaces to be bonded.
6. Apply pressure bringing the two surfaces in tight contact immediately upon completing application of the
adhesive. Hold in place for approximately one to two minutes to allow adhesion.
7. Re-check quality of all miters or splices and apply additional adhesive if required to ensure proper miter or
splice.
8. Contact manufacturer for clarification of above procedure (if required) prior to proceeding with splicing visual
seal profile. It is usually recommended to allow 15 minutes time before installing spliced seal. Care shall be
excercised as a result that it takes 24 hours for adhesive to fully cure.

Notes:
1. Overall width of Boot Transition will be determined on the amount of movement the
WSW system can accommodate during normal movement ranges. WBA suggests
that the dimension will be at least Maximum Opening plus 1". This is to ensure that
there will not be any damage to the boot while the system is at maximum opening.

1. Cut ends of the WSW visual seal, with a sharp knife, to the desired angle using a formed jig with miter box
(supplied by contractor). Insure cuts are clean, straight and square.
2. Cleans ends of seal with a solvent to remove any foreign material.
3. Brush apply PP Primer to both seal ends to be joined together at splice.
4. Reassemble mitered ends of adjacent seals utilizing the reinforcing corner clips (for 90° transitions only).
5. Apply 241F adhesive as specified by the manufacturer to one of the two seal surfaces to be bonded.
6. Apply pressure bringing the two surfaces in tight contact immediately upon completing application of the
adhesive. Hold in place for approximately one to two minutes to allow adhesion.
7. Re-check quality of all miters or splices and apply additional adhesive if required to ensure proper miter or
splice.
8. Contact manufacturer for clarification of above procedure (if required) prior to proceeding with splicing visual
seal profile. It is usually recommended to allow 15 minutes time before installing spliced seal. Care shall be
excercised as a result that it takes 24 hours for adhesive to fully cure.

Use Jeene Profile Glue to fold
and bond side flaps together.
Notes:
1. Overall width of Boot Transition will be determined on the amount of movement the
WSW system can accommodate during normal movement ranges. WBA suggests
that the dimension will be at least Maximum Opening plus 1". This is to ensure that
there will not be any damage to the boot while the system is at maximum opening.

1. Cut ends of the WSW visual seal, with a sharp knife, to the desired angle using a formed jig with miter box
(supplied by contractor). Insure cuts are clean, straight and square.
2. Cleans ends of seal with a solvent to remove any foreign material.
3. Brush apply PP Primer to both seal ends to be joined together at splice.
4. Reassemble mitered ends of adjacent seals utilizing the reinforcing corner clips (for 90° transitions only).
5. Apply 241F adhesive as specified by the manufacturer to one of the two seal surfaces to be bonded.
6. Apply pressure bringing the two surfaces in tight contact immediately upon completing application of the
adhesive. Hold in place for approximately one to two minutes to allow adhesion.
7. Re-check quality of all miters or splices and apply additional adhesive if required to ensure proper miter or
splice.
8. Contact manufacturer for clarification of above procedure (if required) prior to proceeding with splicing visual
seal profile. It is usually recommended to allow 15 minutes time before installing spliced seal. Care shall be
excercised as a result that it takes 24 hours for adhesive to fully cure.
