with screws.

Inside Mount Applications

The depth required for a fully recessed mount depends upon the application.

NOTE: 

Add the dimension of obstructions such as window cranks or handles 

to the minimum depth.

Use one mounting screw to attach each installation 

 

N

bracket to the top sill of the window opening.
Place the screws on the marked centerlines and align 

 

N

the brackets so their front edges are recessed.
If the anchor rail does not have mounting holes, 

 

N

space installation brackets on the bottom sill the same 

distances as used for the top sill. Attach the anchor 

rail to the brackets.
Use the rear hole of the bracket if the mounting depth
