| Technical Tip - Angled Wall Applications | |
| There are several options available from Southeastern Aluminum for handling an angled wall application. Any of these options can be used on the door or the panel side of the unit.

| The 116/126 wall adjust assembly was specifically created for
angled walls. It will allow installation on a wall angled from 35 degrees to 55 degrees
and is available in all colors except brushed nickel. This application requires your
headers and thresholds to be mitered at the angle of the wall. Prior to the introduction of the 116/126 wall adjust assemby, the 117 adjustable post without the receiver was the most common way of handling an angled wall. The 117 adjustable post would screw directly into the wall at the appropriate angle. This application also requires the mitering of the header and threshold and is available in all colors except brushed nickel. Using an SEJ 113/123 (135 degree snap post with a wall jamb), a 116/117/118 (adjustable post and filler) or a 128/129 (interlocking adjustable post) allows the installer to come away from the wall slightly and make a turn to center in the opening. All of these options require a small piece of header and threshold to be cut at the angle of the wall and also mitered at the post end to make the appropriate turn at the angle being used. The 110 H-post can also be used at the juncture of an angled wall, however, the extrusion has to be "ripped" at the appropriate angle and also requires that the headers and thresholds be mitered. The 110 is available in all colors. |
