E. Apply sill flashing tape #1. Cut a piece of flashing tape 12"

longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom of the

opening as shown (1E) so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.
Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width so that it

will extend 6" up each side of the opening.

F. Tab the sill flashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at each

corner (1/2" from each side of corner) (1F). Fold tape to the

exterior and press firmly to adhere it to the water resistive

barrier.

12" longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom,

overlapping tape #1 by at least 1". Do not allow the tape to

extend past the interior face of the framing (1G).

A. Install and level sill spacers. Place 1" wide by 3/8" thick spacers

on the bottom of the window opening 1/2" from each side.

Spacers are also required at points where windows are joined in

multiple window applications. Add shims as necessary to ensure

the spacers are level. Once level, attach spacers and shims to

prevent movement.
Note: Improper placement of shims or spacers may result in

bowing the bottom of the window.

B. Remove plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from window. DO NOT remove plastic

shipping spacers located between the window sash and frame. The shipping spacers will help

is fully fastened.

them and store them in a protected area.

C. Fold out installation fin to 90°. Be careful not to remove or

tear the fin corners.
Note: If the fin is not at 90

°

, the window will not line up

correctly on the interior.
