Note: On the exterior, there must be enough room for backer rod and 3/8" sealant
bead.
N.
Insert shims between the window
and the
opening at the top two anchor hole locations
in the window jambs. Keep shims back 1/2"
from interior face of window.
M.
Insert the window and center it in the opening to allow
clearance for shimming.
Note: Use of a suction cup on the glass will assist in
handling the window.
Note: Each existing window frame and wall depth will vary
in different applications; therefore there is not a standard
measurement for the overhang of the window frame to
the exterior or for the distance from the interior face of the
window to interior trim. When performing Steps 4B thru 4D,
installing the frame screws, be sure to keep the distance
consistent all around the window.
NOTE
4M
Note: Position shims to ensure they allow at least 1/2" from the exterior surface of the
window to allow for placement of backer rod and sealant.
O.
If additional installation holes are needed;
drill a 5/32” installation hole through
both the interior and exterior walls of the frame. Counter drill a 3/8” hole through the
interior wall only of the frame. DO NOT penetrate the exterior wall with the 3/8” bit.
P.
Fasten the window near the top of the opening
by
driving 2-1/2" long wood screws through the top two
holes at the jambs and into the opening sides.
Q.
Plumb and square the window.
Insert shims between
the window frame and the rough opening at the
anchor hole locations in the window frame. Keep
shims back 1/2" from interior face of window.
Note: DO NOT shim above the window or in the
space between the spacers at the bottom of the
window. DO NOT over shim.
