3INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER (CONTINUED)
C1. Apply top flashing tape to circle top windows. Several pieces of flashing tape
will be needed to cover the top fin. Start taping from the sides of the window working toward the peak. To determine the length of cuts, hold the tape along the radius, and cut the tape just past where it leaves the top fixed extruded fin or for the flexible fin, just past the flexible weather strip. The top tape must overlap the one beneath it in order to divert water properly. The sharper the arc of the window, the shorter the pieces of tape will be.

C2. Apply top flashing tape to an angle top window 1/2" up onto the frame cladding, over the top fin onto the sheathing. On the short side of a trapezoid window, do not allow the side flashing tape to extend higher than what the top tape will cover. Fold the overlapping tape down, and press all tape down firmly.
D.Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (3D).
E. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut | Î |
pieces of flashing tape at least 1" longer than the | 3D |
| |
diagonal cuts in the water resistive barrier. Apply |
|
the tape covering the entire diagonal cut in the |
|
water resistive barrier at both upper corners of | 3EÎ |
the window. If vertical cuts were also made, apply | |
flashing tape to them in the same manner. |
|
Note: The top tape must overlap the tape below |
|
it to divert water properly. Be sure to overlap |
|
the top corners (3E). | Î |

Note: If installing the window using installation clips, proceed to Step 5 - Installation Clip Method.
