supporting steelwork and lapped over drip flashing.
 Fasteners: As determined by clause 220A.
 Number and location:
- For wall light: As determined by clause 197A, but with each wall lite fixed to each support using not less than
one fastener at panel ends and two fasteners at intermediate supports, located through tongue section, as
recommended by cladding manufacturer.
- For panel bearers: Fix each one using two fasteners.
- For vertical top-hat fix to vertical support at 500mm centres.
 Accessories:
- Profile fillers as clause 300A.
- Panel bearers, maximum 1500mm centres, located in positions recommended by cladding manufacturer to
support the bottom row of horizontally laid Kingspan Day-Lite Architectural wall lights.
