Is it permissible to loosely fold the side seals in half for shipping? 2. Is it possible to obtain assembly drawings showing how the seals and the seal bars will be arranged together? 3. Section A of drawing of the seals shows a through hole but no other hole location is shown. Are any or of the seals to have holes installed -- if so, need locations. a. For splice guidelines follow the manufacturer's instructions. Also ASTM D 2527 offers the standard specification for splices. b. No. c. Yes, splicing the side seals is allowed. d. Folding the side seals should be fine as long as they are folded in a way such that they are not damaged. Consult manufacturer for shipping/storing guidelines. 2. An attachment drawing will be sent out to all listed as interested parties.
