J. For vinyl windows, leave an appropriate gap between the edge of the siding material and the <br /> window frame to allow for siding expansion and contraction. <br /> K. For vinyl horizontal sliding & fixed windows 72" in width and greater, Kinro recommends a sill <br /> support (minimum 1" thick) or angle bracket support, dependant on exterior home finish, to be <br /> installed underneath the projected frame sill on the outside. <br /> L. The use of any appurtenance system not approved for the Egress window or any alterations of an <br /> approved appurtenance system negates the window certification. The operating instructions and <br /> certification label are a permanent part of the Egress unit and must not be removed. <br /> M. There should not be any obstruction placed, attached, or located inside or outside an Egress <br /> window which would hamper direct access to Egress Devices or encroach on the minimum <br /> dimensions for horizontal, vertical, and square feet of area required for exiting. <br /> Caution: Flammable fabrics could prevent access to the exit devices. <br /> N. An operational check of each installed Egress Window or Device shall be made at the installation <br /> site. For HUD manufactured homes it is recommended that the Manufactured Home Factory <br /> record and retain a permanent record of the serial number of the Egress unit in direct correlation <br /> with the serial number of the Manufactured Home in which it is installed. This will facilitate <br /> correction, recall and notification for non - compliance defects and /or imminent safety hazards. <br /> 0. Do not install vinyl windows on top of vertical or horizontal metal siding. Flanges may be <br /> damaged and leaks may occur. Warranty is void. <br /> III. Fasteners <br /> A. #8 screws, must be used as fasteners for your installation into wood framing and for window <br /> installation into metal home framing. The fastener must penetrate the stud at least one (1 ") inch, <br /> allowing for exterior sheathing. The pre - punched mounting holes in our window flanges are to <br /> assist our customers installing the screw fasteners. <br /> Note: Screws that are left exposed to the weather should be of a plated type that will not corrode. <br /> B. In Wind Speed Zones 90 mph and less (HUD - Wind Zone I): on uneven corrugated siding, a <br /> fastener should be placed in or near every hole to ensure a proper weather seal around the <br /> perimeter of the window. On smooth wood finish siding, a fastener in or near every other hole <br /> for aluminum windows and every hole for vinyl windows is recommended. When installing a <br /> window in this fashion, the installed window should be checked to ensure that there are no <br /> excessive dents or rises in the fin that would allow a water or air leak. Exterior type trim could <br /> then be placed over the window. When using screws, they do not have to be in the hole, just in the <br /> general location. <br /> C. In Wind Speed Zones 100 mph and greater (HUD - Wind Zones II & III): one fastener should <br /> be placed in or near every mounting hole to meet structural strength. Except for the required <br /> number of fasteners, follow all instructions listed above. Mounting location is as follows: end holes <br /> will start no more than 1" from the end of the frame and will be spaced apart no more than 4- <br /> 1/2" evenly spaced between the end holes. The fastener location from the mounting flange edge <br /> will be no greater than 0.135 for all products. <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
