Shou d be 112" larger than the actual measurement of window frame; for mulled units, <br />shoul be 3/4" larger <br />.. Shou d be square, level, and plumb; the allowable deviation for level and plumb <br />is 111 "for every 2" of rough opening length (not to exceed lIS"); adjust as needed ~) <br />.. The ougb opening sill must be level, not crowned or sagged; adjust as ~j <br />need d TIP <br />.. The xterior face ofthe rough opening must be in a single plane with less than <br />liS" . st from comer to comer <br />For stud aming only <br />.. Dou Ie studs should be used at all rough openings <br />.. The ugh opening header should be supported on trimmer Gack) studs and <br />desi ed to assure no load is transferred to window unit <br /> <br />Inspec Window <br /> <br />Before begi ing installation, inspect the window for the following: <br />.. Correc product (size, color, grid pattern, correct operation <br />handin , etc.) <br />.. Obvio s damage and defects such as: <br />. C smetic damage <br />. Pr duct squareness <br />If any ofth above discrepancies exist, do not install the window; contact <br />your dealer distributor for recommendations. If the expected <br />environme tal conditions are likely to exceed the performance rating of <br />the windo , please contact us or your dealer/distributor for further <br />recommen tions. Installation of the window indicates there are no <br />viewable d fects, damage or expected environmental conditions that will <br />exceed the erformance rating of the window. <br /> <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I <br />mOl2 Instabation Instructions for Primed Wood Windows without Applied Exterior Trim <br /> <br />MaterialsfTools <br /> <br />- <br />[J 2112'" #10 corrosion-resistant, pan heed screws (length of screws must allow <br />penetration of at least 1" into framing) <br />o Shtms <br />[J 6" wide self-adhesive flashing (unle&S lacel code reQuires 9") <br />D For masonl}'. primer as recommended by self.adhesive flashing manufacturer <br />for masonry <br />o For sheathecVopen stud wall. spray adh86ive such as Protecto Tak, Bostlk@ <br />Mist Aerosol Adhesive Supertek, MFM Spray Adhesive. or 3Mnl Super 77 <br />Adhesive Spray or equivalent. <br />[J Polyurethane sealant (use 100-;. slllcone for any joint exposed to sunlight) <br />[J Norrcompressible, non water-degradable window sill supports, such as self. <br />adhesive hard plastic furniture glides (If.... thick) <br />D GetvaniZed drip cap (or fad0ry.5upplled) <br />o Sheet metal flashing for sin pan (6" wide for 1"11-4" wall or 9" for 2":t6H waU) <br />For rady or curved windOwa, <br />a Conformable seff-adhesive flashIng. <br />For open-stud wall construction, <br />o Non water-degradable, thin sheet material (for backing suppolt max. 11'" thick) I <br />such as ahninum fl88hing, hard ptastic sheeting, tile board, or B similar <br />material, wide enough to span studs <br /> <br />Approved Self-Adheatve Flashlnga: I <br />For OSB shl!lBth1n9, For all other substrates I <br />DuPont Tyvek<<l Straight Flash DuPont T~ Straight Flash or Flexwrap- <br />DuPont Tyvek<<l Flexwrap- Protecto Wr1IpIl BT20 XL or Protecto Aex* <br />MFM Window Wrap <br />Nmc: lfthere is (J conflict fx.lWUft Ihne ;nstruct;ml$ QM rhese1f-adhesi'wi!j1tuhing <br />1fUIAllfacwrer's iPIGrructioflS,follo'W IhejIashlllg mQ1tU!aclllrer's ;1tSlt1JcliotUfor <br />appliCation. <br /> <br />Tool_ <br />[J Molal <:uttJng she... <br />[J Clean rag <br />[J Utll1tyknlfo <br />[J lovel <br /> <br />D Tape measure ~ <br />D J~roUer ~ ... <br />o Hammer <br />D Construction stapler with 311" staples <br /> <br />~ <br />Ai!' + <br /> ;= <br /> ~ .tiT <br /> - <br /> ~ I-t <br /> <br />Fig. 2.
