2SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW  
A. Install and level sill spacers. Place 1" wide by 1/4" thick spacers  
on the bottom of the window opening 1/4" from each side.  
Spacers are also required at transition bars in multiple sash units.  
Add shims as necessary to ensure the spacers are level. Once level,  
attach spacers and shims to prevent movement.  
2A  
Note: Improper placement of shims or spacers may result in  
bowing the bottom of the window.  
B. Remove plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from window.  
DO NOT open the window until it is fully fastened.  
Note: For best results, install the window with the sash  
closed and locked with the shipping spacers in place.  
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE  
REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING  
STEPS.  
2C  
Note: If fins are to be installed to no fin  
units, go to the Applying Installation Fin  
instructions on the back before proceeding  
to step C.  
C. Insert the window from the exterior of the  
building. Place the bottom of the window on the spacers  
at the bottom of the opening, then tilt the top into  
position. Center the window between the sides of the  
opening to allow clearance for shimming and insert one  
roofing nail in the first hole from the corner on each end  
of the top nailing fin. These are used to hold the window  
in place while shimming it plumb and square.  
Interior View  
2D  
D. Plumb and square window. Place shims 1" from the  
bottom and top of the window between the window and  
the sides of the opening. Adjust the shims as required  
to plumb and square the window in the opening. If the  
frame height exceeds 53", place shims at the quarter  
points of the window sides.  
2D  
Note: DO NOT shim above the window or in the  
space between the spacers at the bottom of the window.  
DO NOT over shim.  
2E  
E. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the

F. Fasten the window to opening by driving 2”  
galvanized roofing nails into each prepunched  
hole in the nailing fin.  
2E  
G. Check the window operation. Remove the plastic  
spacers located between the bottom of the vent panel and  
the frame sill. Open and close the window a few times to  
check for proper operation. Close and lock the window.  
Note: If there are any problems with the operations  
of the window, recheck shim locations and adjust for  
plumb and square.  
 
3INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER  
A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing  
tape 4" longer than the frame height of the window.  
Apply one piece to each side 1/2" onto the frame,  
over the nailing fin and onto the water resistive  
barrier. The tape should extend 2" above the top  
3A  
of the window and 2" below the bottom of the  
window. Press the tape down firmly while folding  
down the excess tape at the top and bottom of the  
window.  
B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape  
long enough to go across the top of the window and  
extend at least 1" past the side flashing tape on both  
3B  
sides. Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame, over the  
top nailing fin as shown. Fold the overlapping tape  
down, and press all tape down firmly.  
3B  
Note: DO NOT tape or seal the bottom nailing fin.  
1"  
C. Fold down top flap of the water resistive barrier.  
3C  
D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of  
flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts  
3D  
in the water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering  
the entire diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier  
at both upper corners of the window.  
3D  
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners.  
4INTERIOR SEAL  
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams and  
strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of high pressure  
foams or improper application of the foam may cause the window frame to bow and hinder  
operation.  
Interior View  
A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert  
the nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep into the  
space between the window and the rough opening and apply  
a 1" deep bead of foam. This will allow room for expansion  
of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. If using foam  
4A  
other than Great Stuff Window and Door Insulation Foam  
Sealant by the Dow Chemical Company, allow the foam to  
dry completely (usually 8 to 24 hours) before proceeding to  
the next step.  
Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of  
the fin to the interior face of the opening.  
B. Check window operation (vent units only) by opening and closing the window.  
Note: If the window does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level,  
square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam  
with a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.  
 
5SEALING THE WINDOW TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING  
When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space  
between the window frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that  
corresponds to your finish material.  
Note: The sealant details shown are standard recommendations from the sealant industry.  
Contact your sealant supplier for recommendations and instructions for these and any other  
applications.

FINISH  
The interior and exterior frame and sash are protected by a powder coat baked-on factory finish that  
requires no painting. Clean this surface with mild soap and water. Stubborn stains and deposits may be  
removed with mineral spirts. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage  
the surface.  
Use of inappropriate solvents, brickwash or cleaning chemicals will cause adverse reactions with  
window and door materials and voids the Limited Warranty.
