1. Locating the Blast Chiller
1.1. Using a chalk line and a carpenter’s square, locate on the building floor, the exact dimensions of
the blast chiller as shown in the supplied print. After marking the exterior rectangular
dimensions, measure inward 4” around the perimeter to form an interior rectangle, which locates
the interior blast chiller dimensions.
2. Panel Preparation
2.1. Remove all protective paper from
panels. Leave all special labels on the
skins.
2.2. During the course of installation, the
panels must be caulked for proper seal.
This detail is to be applied to all panel
joints throughout this instruction.
Using the tube of clear silicone
supplied, run two [2] vertical beads of
caulk (see drawing 1.1) on the interior
foam seams.
