Connecting PorterSIPs panels

Drawing panels together

Two types of spline connections ( 2x or surface) are used to interconnect Porter SIPs. To make these connections, it is necessary to draw or pull the panel being installed together with a previously installed panel in order to fully engage the connecting spline(s) in the cavity(s) of the panels.

When panels are drawn together it is common to have a nominal 1/8" gap between OSB sheeting. The EPS insulation of each panel should be in contact, with no gap. This assembly process is occasionally made easier through the use of a ratchet type come-a-long.
