4. Install Unit

• Apply 1/4" bead of sealant, full perimeter, to back side
of Installation Flange or full perimeter around rough
opening, 1/2" from edge.
Metal fasteners and other hardware components may
corrode when exposed to preservative treated and
fire-retardant treated lumber. Obtain and use the
appropriate metal fasteners and hardware as called out
by the installation guide to fasten unit to any rough
opening made from pressure treated and fire-retardant
treated lumber. Failure to use the appropriate materials
for the installation may cause a failure resulting in injury,
property or product damage.
Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting
techniques and a reasonable number of people with
enough strength to lift, carry and install window and
door products to avoid injury and/or product damage.
• DO NOT set window unit directly on sill plate. Elevate
unit on shims at side jambs.
• DO NOT set nails when using low density, insulating
sheathing to prevent bending and cracking of
Installation Flanges.
• Unit must be properly shimmed. Failure to do so
could result in product damage.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 1/2" from top of
brick/masonry to the bottom of any portion of sill.
Failure to do so could result in product damage.
