Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2"

onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding

the tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make

it easier to apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than

1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior

sealant line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.

G. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior

face of the window to the interior face of the wall is equal at several

points around the window.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are

folded out to 90° at all points.

H. Check window operation (vent units only). Unlock the window by

lifting the lock handle up. Open the window by rotating the crank

handle. Remove the shipping spacers. Open and close the window a few

times to check for proper operation. Close and lock the window.
Note: If there are any problems with the operation of the window,

recheck shim locations and adjust for plumb and square.

I. Fasten the window to opening by driving 2" galvanized roofing

nails into each pre-punched hole in the nailing fin.
Note: Make sure the fin corner is lying as flat as possible.

INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE

WATER RESISTIVE bARRIER

J. For units with flexible non-structural curved fin on which

clips were added: Fasten the clips to the opening by driving

two #6 x 1-1/2" or longer corrosion resistant into the pre-

punched holes in the clips. If clips are bent and fastened to the

interior stud, install the screws as close to the bend as possible.
Note: DO NOT shim above the window.

Flashing

Tape

Rectangular Units Only:

A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape

4" longer than the frame height of the window. Apply

one piece to each side 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over

the nailing fin and onto the water resistive barrier. The

tape should extend 2

" above the top of the window and

2" below the bottom of the window. Press the tape down

firmly while folding down the excess tape at the top and

bottom of the window.

B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape

long enough to go across the top of the window and

extend at least 1" past the side flashing tape on both

sides. Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over

the top nailing fin as shown. Fold the overlapping tape

down, and press all tape down firmly.
Note: DO NOT tape or seal the bottom nailing fin.
