Base Extrusion Installation

1|

AH-205 J-Sill

2|

Install the AH-205 J-Sill extrusion at the bottom of the wall. Take care to ensure this extrusion is shimmed and levelled as the locations of the other base extrusions will be based on this extrusion.

AH-202 Base

Fasten the AH-202 Base extrusion to the wall. Shim as required.

PRO TIP: Use a spare piece of MCM as a spacer between the AH-202 extrusions.

AH-204 Vertical Clip

Attach the AH-204 Vertical Clip to the extrusions wherever two panels are side -by-side on a flat wall. Ensure that the flat side of the clip is on the left side.

Ensure there is a clip at the top and bottom of each panel.

6|

AH-206 End Clip

Attach the AH-206 End Clip to the extrusions on the right side of the wall.

Measuring Final Panel Dimensions

7|

Take Measurements

Use the drawings and tables on this sheet to take the panel dimensions, then fabricate the panels.

Arrowhead Rainscreen Panel Size Guide FO = Frame Opening

SO = Sill Opening

CO = Corner Opening

Finished Panel Size = FO + 3/16”

Finished Panel Size = SO

PD = Panel Depth Finished Panel Size = CO + PD + 1/16”

Sizes are for up to 10’ long panels at 1/8” in 10’ at <90° F thermal expansion For longer panels or high temperature increases modify formula accordingly

Panel Installation

8|

Attach AH-107

9 | Attach Panel

Insert and twist AH-107 modified TClips onto the AH-202 Base Extrusion if starting on any row except the bottom.

If the first panel is being installed on the bottom row, this step is not necessary.

Clip the panel to the wall by sliding the AH-401 Perimeter Extrusion over the AH -107 Modified T-Clips (or AH-205 J-Sill if being installed on the bottom row).

Attach AH-104

Insert and twist an AH-104 T-Clip along the top and sides of the panel to lock the panel in place.

11 | Install Remaining Panels Option 1 - Adjacent Panels If installing a panel above another panel, repeat steps 13 and 14 and slide the AH-401 over the AH-104 T-Clip instead of the AH-107 or AH-205.

Option 2 - Non-Adjacent Panels Repeat steps 13 and 14

Removing & Replacing Panels

1 | Fabricate Replacement Panel

2 | Protect Adjacent Panels

Fabricate the replacement panel and bring it on site prior to removing the panel that is to be replaced.

Cover the adjacent panels with something that will protect them while the damaged panel is being removed.

Create the 3-piece replacement reveal at the same time using Fairview’s CNC program.

3 | Cut Reveal Strips

4 | Remove T-Clips

Cut out the left, top, and right reveal strips. There is no need to cut out the bottom reveal strip.

Remove the reveal strips to be able to access the t-clips. Use the AH-110 locking tool to remove the t-clips. At this point, the damaged panel can be removed.

Removing & Replacing Panels

5 | Reveal Strip Preparation

6 | Install Side Pieces

Square off the existing reveal so the replacement reveal can butt right up to it.

Insert one side of the replacement reveal into each of the adjacent panel’s reveal slots. You may need to add a small amount of caulk to the middle of each reveal slot to hold it in place.

Determine the length the replacement reveal needs to be, and cut it to length.

Keep the first hole approximately 2-3 inches from one end as this is where the first T-Clip will be located.
