C. Continue placing shims at each pre-drilled hole as needed to plumb and square the

window. Check the window for square by making sure the diagonal measurement from

corner to corner of the replacement window is within 1/8" in both directions. Insert a

3-1/4" finish wood screw into each pre-drilled hole in the frame. Finish inserting the top

screw in each jamb.
Note: DO NOT shim above the window. DO NOT over shim.

SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

Note: Because there are no stops in the opening to place the window against, be sure to hold

the window in place when performing Steps 4A thru 4C.

A. Insert the replacement window in the opening by first

placing the bottom of the window on top of the shims on

the sill of the opening. Tip the window upright into the

opening.
Note: Use of a suction cup

on the glass will assist in

handling the window.

Note: Each existing window frame and wall depth will

vary in different applications; therefore there is not a

standard measurement for the overhang of the window

frame to the exterior or for the distance from the interior

face of the window to interior trim. When performing

Steps 4B thru 4C, installing the frame screws, be sure to

keep the distance consistent all around the window.

Note: On the exterior, there must be enough room for

backer rod and 3/8" sealant bead.

B. Place shims aligned with the top pre-drilled hole in

one jamb of the window frame. Keep shims back 1/2"

from interior face of window. Partially insert one 3-1/4"

finish wood screw. Repeat on the other jamb.
Note: Position the shims to ensure they allow at least

1/2" from the exterior surface of the window to allow

for placement of backer rod and sealant.
