A.Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 5" longer than the frame height of the window. Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the fin and laps onto the water resistive barrier. The tape should extend 2" above the top of the window and 3" 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 two pieces of flashing tape long enough to go across the top of the window and extend 1" past the flashing tape on both sides. Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the top nailing fin and onto the water resistive barrier.
Press the tape down firmly. Apply the second piece of tape just above and overlapping the first piece of
flashing tape by 1". Press the tape down firmly. |

C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (4C).
D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut | % | |

pieces of flashing tape at least 1" longer than the | $ | |
diagonal cuts in the water resistive barrier. Apply | ||

5SECURING THE WINDOW - FRAME SCREW INSTALLATION
Note: If installing the window using installation clips, proceed to Step 6 -
INSTALLATION CLIP METHOD
A.Fixed windows only: On the room side of fixed windows are a series of screws which secure the sash into the frame. ONE AT A TIME, remove each screw, drill a 1/8" x 1" deep pilot hole into the rough framing, then insert a #10 x
Warning: Removing more than one screw at a time could allow the sash to break free from the window frame which could result in damage to the sash and/or create the potential for personal injury.
