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.
