These instructions are IN ADDITION to the standard installation instruction for your column and replace the basic cap installation procedures.
NOTE: Always PRE-DRILL HOLES in COLUMN, CAPITAL and/or SLEEVE. Do not attempt to drive screws directly into FPR products!
- If desired, cut a centering block to fit inside of capital top. Attach block to soffit.
- Trim top of column shaft: Roman Corinthian and Temple of Winds:Trim above neck ring. All other capitals:
trim below neck ring (top of fillet).
- Measure opening where the column is to be installed.
INCLUDE HEIGHT OF CAPITAL WHEN CALCULATING COLUMN LENGTH.Measure column shaft and trim the
bottom of the shaft to fit required opening.
- If necessary, using vinyl shims, shim the capital sleeve so that the capital is centered on the column. Attach shims to the sleeve with construction adhesive.
- Apply construction adhesive to the top of the column shaft. Set capital in place. Remove excess adhesive immediately.
- Pre-drill clearance holes through shaft larger than screw diameter, then countersink. Attach capital sleeve to column using non-corrosive wood screws. Do not overtighten screws! This process will also help to center cap in uneven shafts.
- Raise soffit and slide assembled column into place. Flashing should be installed over capital in exterior installations where water collection can occur.
- If necessary, pre-drill through capital Abacus at an angle, countersink, and use non-corrosive wood screws to fasten capital to soffit.
