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.

 

A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two

 

 

pieces of flashing tape 4" longer

than the frame height of the window.
