Window Installation

6.Apply a ¼" continuous bead of pumpable sealant to the back side of the mounting flange (see figure 3), in line with pre- punched holes. (Caution: If the window units are pre-sealed prior to installation, a skin may form on the sealant, causing a potential for failure. Refer to the sealant manufacturers instructions for sealant curing time. Be sure to install the window before the sealant sets up on the mounting flange.)

1.Place the window in the R.O. with the window sill resting on the R.O. sill. If the R.O. sill is not square to the floor and if you have elected to shim the window, then place shims beneath the low corner of the unit until the sill of the unit is square. Shims must be placed beneath the extreme corners of the window frame; additional shims must be placed every 12" on center to fully sup- port the weight of the unit. Shims may be used at the frame/jambs if these frame/jambs are not straight and plumb; use enough shims to straighten and plumb the frame/jambs. Shims should not be used at the frame head of a unit; if R.O. header deflects, building loads will be transferred to window, causing improper operation or failure of window.

2.Center the window from left to right but do not remove the sill from contact with the R.O. sill and any shims that were required to square the sill of the unit. When installing windows it is required to use corrosion resistant fasteners that produce a minimum of 1" penetration into the framing members.

3.While holding the window flat against the exterior of the wall, start a fastener in the approximate center of one of the frame/jamb mounting flanges. Continue installing fasteners in the following order; center of opposite frame/jamb, center of head and center of sill. Note: If scaffolding interferes with the top of the window, it is acceptable to install this later when it is more accessible.

Warning: Do not over drive fasteners, to do so will fracture or unduly deform the mounting

flange and compromise the seal. Use caution in cold weather when installing fasteners through the nailing fin, the vinyl material becomes more brittle as temperatures decrease. Do not apply fasteners

or staples through any other surface of the window other than the Philips specified areas and/or the mounting flange. Failure to comply may void any manufacture warranty.

4.Warning: Fenestration products are not to be used with corrugated metal siding.

5.After the fasteners have been installed through the midpoint of each mounting flange, it is recommended that you re-check the window to be certain it is centered from side to side in the opening, and that the window frame members are straight and that the window frame is square, (measure opposite corners of the window frame in a manner similar to measuring the diagonals of the R.O., it should be within 1/8"). Before proceeding, it is recommended that you check to ensure window operates properly. If it does not, remove fasteners and reinstall window as per above instructions. If shipping block(s) is present, remove at this time.
