Installation Instructions for Typical Wood Frame Construction.

These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction in 
a wall system designed to manage water. 

These instructions are not to be used with any other 

construction method. 

Installation instructions for use with other construction methods or multiple 

units may be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella retailer. Building designs, construction 
methods, building materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation 
method different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate
