3SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW
"
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE
REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
A.Insert the window from the exterior of the building. Place the bottom of the window on the spacers at the bottom
of the opening, then tilt the top into position. Center the window between the sides of the opening to allow clearance for shimming, and insert one roofing nail in the first hole from the corner on each end of the top nailing fin. These are used to hold the window in place while shimming it plumb and square.
B.Plumb and square window. Place shims between the window frame and the rough opening at each installation screw hole.
Adjust the shims as required to plumb and square the window in the opening.
Windows with Installation Clips only: Shim between each installation clip and the rough opening.
Note: DO NOT over shim.
C.Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior face of the
window to the interior face of the wall
is equal at several points around the $ window.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are folded out to 90° at all points.
