JELD-WEN JII023 Vinyl Projecting Windows with Integral Nailing Fin - Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Vinyl Projecting Windows with Integral Nailing Fin (JII023)
OPEN STUD CONSTRUCTION
The wall
framing needs
to be covered
by backing
support before
the window can
be installed. The
window will be
mounted with
the nailing fin
flush against the
applied backing
support.
This backing
support should
be a non water-
degradable,
thin (max. 1/8" thick) sheet material such as vinyl sheeting. Completely
surround the rough opening with the backing support as shown.
Backing support must be applied before building wrap.
GLOSSARY
Mull Joint
The joint where two or more window units are structurally joined
together.
Mulled Unit
Two or more window units structurally joined together.
Shiplap
The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so
that water runs down the outside.
Weep Hole (weep channel)
The visible exit or entry part of a water drainage system used to drain
water out of a window.
Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water
tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure
inside the home, which can draw water through very small openings.
Our installation method integrates the window with the weather
barrier (typically building wrap).
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for vinyl bay,
bow and garden windows which incorporate an integral nailing fin.
While the use of these installation instructions is recommended,
installation in strict compliance with AAMA specifications (2400-02)
is an alternate method of window installation. Use of the AAMA
specifications (2400-02) will not affect application of the JELD-WEN
limited warranty.
Not all window types can be installed into every wall condition in all
areas. Consult your local building code official for applicable building
codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede
recommended installation instructions.
Note! Installations where the sill is higher than 35 feet above ground
level, or any product installation into a wall condition not specifically
addressed in these instructions, must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer.
Failure to install windows into square, level, and plumb openings could
result in denial of warranty claims for operational or performance
problems.
Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building
owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and
conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of sale.
