PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Examine areas and conditions in which the chair rail systems will be installed.
1. Complete all finishing operations, including painting, before beginning installation of chair rail system materials.
B. Wall surface shall be dry and free from dirt, grease and loose paint.
3.02 PREPARATION
A. General: Prior to installation, clean substrate to remove dust, debris and loose particles.
3.03 INSTALLATION
A. General: Locate the chair rail as indicated on the approved detail drawing for the appropriate substrate and in compliance with the IPC installation instructions. Install chair rail level and plumb at the height indicated on the drawings.
B. Installation of 2700/2700W Chair Rails:
1. Cut the aluminum retainer to the desired length, allowing 1 5 /16″ (33mm) for each end cap and inside corner, and 5 /16″ (8mm) for each outside corner.
2. Using a 1 /4″ drill bit, drill holes in the centerline of the aluminum retainer 4″ (102mm) from each end and spaced evenly over the entire length (6 anchors per 12′ (3.66m) length).
3. Position and level the aluminum retainer on the wall, allowing for end caps, inside corners, and outside corners, and transfer mounting holes to the wall with a marker. Drill 1 /4″ (6mm) holes at each mark and position the ALLIGATOR anchors into the holes on the wall. Mount the retainer with #10 x 1 3 /4″ phillips pan head screws and tighten the screws to secure the retainer.
4. (2700W – Slide reveals onto end caps and corners.)
Slide the end caps, inside corners or outside corners onto the aluminum, leaving a 1 /16″ gap for adjustments, and secure them by using one 1 1 /4″ selftapping screw per end cap or two per corner.
5. Cut the vinyl cover to the distance between the end caps/corners. NOTE: Trim all factory edges square before installation. Position the vinyl cover on the aluminum retainer starting at one end and working to the other end by pushing the cover over the aluminum until it snaps into place.
3.04 CLEANING
A. At completion of the installation, clean surfaces in accordance with the IPC clean-up and maintenance instructions.
