AERCON non-load bearing wall panels are attached to load
bearing construction such as concrete or steel and can be oriented vertically
or horizontally. The exterior support columns must be plumb and true for proper
erection of wall panels. All wall anchor accessories must be installed prior to
the erection of the wall panels. The base mortar joint must be level and true
prior to placement of the first panel. Immediately after placing the panel, attach
the wall anchor to the superstructure and the panel with the appropriate fasteners
as noted on the shop drawings. The back face of the panel must be flush with the
face of the superstructure. Any gaps must be filled solid with non-shrink grout.
The joint width indicated on the shop drawings shall be maintained
throughout the project.
Notching of the panel for erection, due to the interference
from the wall anchor accessories, shall be accomplished by recommended tools.
Use extreme care so as not to damage the bearing areas of
the panel and the wall anchor connection areas. All wall anchor fasteners must maintain
a minimum edge distance of 2 1/2".
If the wall panels have a nontongue and groove profile, the
panels must be mortared together with AERCON mortar.
Horizontal non-load bearing wall panels attached to a load
bearing superstructure; in this case steel.
