4 INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER

Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto

the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the tape at

 

1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it easier to apply

the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the

 

dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant

 

line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
