2SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW (CONTINUED)
I. | Fasten the window to opening. On |
|
| windows with a fixed extruded fin, drill |
|
| 1/8 diameter holes in the fin every 12". | Ó |
|
| 2I |
Windows with Nail Fin: |
| |
J. | Drive a 2" galvanized roofing nail | 'JYFE |
| into each of the | &YUSVEFE'JO |
| drilled holes. |
|
For flexible fin: Drive nails until the head
contacts the fin, however do not sink the head. 2JÓ This allows for movement of building materials.
Note: Make sure all fin corners are lying as flat as possible.
3INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER
Note: Step 3 applies to windows with installation fins used in combination with a water resistive barrier.

B. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 4" longer than the frame height of the window. Apply one piece 1/2" up onto the frame cladding over the nailing fin and onto the water resistive barrier to each side. The tape should extend 2" above the top 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.

Note: DO NOT tape or seal the bottom nailing fin. | 3B | |

C.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 sides. Apply the tape 1/2" up onto the frame cladding over the top nailing fin as shown. Fold the overlapping tape down, and press all tape down firmly.
