Disclosed is a wall framing system having vertical and horizontal mullions each formed of an interior piece and an exterior piece connected together by internal plastic clips. Water diverters are mounted internally of the horizontal mullions for diverting intruded water to exit points on the exterior sides of the mullions. At the crossings of vertical and horizontal mullions, internal water diverter bridge pieces connect through the vertical mullions from the water diverter in one horizontal mullion to the water diverter in the other. The vertical mullion faces each have a height substantially equal to a coextensive with the panels they grip to facilitate glazing and reglazing. A special open channel horizontal mullion with joint forming flanges therein is disclosed, together with a novel snap lock cover system therefor. Installation of the wall system is facilitated by deep glazing pocket vertical jambs, the two piece vertical mullions, and assymetrical glazing gaskets.

In a wall structure having hollow horizontal and vertical panel gripping mullions and having a mullion crossing at which said horizontal and vertical mullions cross, said crossing being of the type in which the vertical mullions pass through the crossing and the horizontal mullions abut the vertical mullions at the crossing, said mullions comprising interior and exterior pieces attached together internally at spaced intervals, the improvements comprising: water diverters mounted internally in each of the horizontal mullions, said diverters each extending from a point in the mullion interiorly of and above the lower edge of an upper panel gripped by the horizontal mullion to a point in the mullion exteriorly of and below the upper edge of a lower panel gripped by the horizontal mullion; means in said horizontal mullions adjacent the exterior-most portions of said water diverters for permitting egress of water from the interior of said mullions; and a water diverter bridge piece extending horizontally through a portion of said vertical mullions at the crossing between points of attachment of interior and exterior pieces thereof from the water diverter in one horizontal mullion of said crossing to the water diverter in the other horizontal mullion of said crossing.
