period of time in which strong winds are pos-

Figure 11: Using storm brackets
1. Ultimate Double Hung IZ3 units have two storm
brackets attached to each jamb. If you are using
the jamb screw method for installation you will no-
tice these when you remove the clad and wood fill-
ers. If you are using the masonry bracket method,
you must first remove the check rail dust block and
pull out the bottom part of the top jamb weather
strip as well as remove the bottom sash stay. See
figures 10a and 10b.
2. Push the clad jamb filler up as far as it will go to re-
veal the predrilled hole in the jamb carrier. Fasten
the jambs through the storm bracket by driving one
of the #8 x 2 1/2
″
screws through the pre
−
drilled
hole in the jamb. See figure 10c.
3. Press the top jamb weatherstrip back into place.
Slide the bottom jamb filler down as far as it will go.
Fasten the jamb through the storm bracket by driv-
ing two of the #8 x 2 1/2
″
screws through the pre
−
drilled holes in the jamb. See figure 10d.
4. Slide the bottom jamb filler back up until it touches
the jamb weatherstrip. Replace the check rail dust
block and the bottom sash stay. See figures 10e
and 10f.
5. Extend storm brack-
ets during inclement
weather by inserting
a stick pin, nail, or
pen through the hole
in the bracket. Then
slide the bracket
away from the win-
dow frame as shown
in figure 11.
