Step 2

:  Unit Preparation

1. Remove the protective packaging from the unit

and dispose/recycle properly. Inspect unit for

any hidden damage and report immediately to

your Marvin representative. Provide the cus-

tomer service number etched on one of the top

corners of the glass. See figure 3.

2. Remove any shipping clips unless noted other-

wise.

NOTE:  Do not remove the vinyl shipping blocks

or shipping tube assembly on Ultimate Double

Hungs until installation is complete (unless

installing with jamb screws).

Figure 5:  Apply back

caulking to BMC.

Figure 3:

3. If used on clad units, position the factory applied

nailing fin/drip cap in the upright position. See

figure 4.

4. On wood units with brick mould casing, apply

sealant at the casing to frame joint along the

jambs and head jamb, at the sill horn to casing

joint, and at the miter corners of the casing. See

figure 5. Tool the bead to ensure proper adhe-

sion to both surfaces.

5. If you are installing a window with structural

brackets, fasten to the window now. Follow the

fastener spacing in the 

“Jamb/Sill Screw

Chart”

. Follow the instructions provided with

the brackets for details on how to fasten to unit.

Ultimate Double Hung Magnum units are sent

with supplemental instructions which detail how

to remove the sash and jamb fillers.

6. If you will be fastening with screws through the

jambs, head jambs, and sill, remove your sash

and covers or liners at this time. Refer to the

section, 

“Removing Interior Stops, Liners,

and Fillers”

 and 

“Removing Sash”

 for details.

7. Install jamb extension before installing the win-

dow in the rough or masonry opening. Follow in-

structions provided with the jamb extension.
