4 SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW

4 SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

Note: Because there are no stops in the opening to place the window against, be sure to hold the window in place when performing Steps 4A thru 4C.

A.Insert the replacement window in the opening by first placing the bottom of the window on top of the shims on the sill of the opening. Tip the window upright into the opening.

Note: Use of a suction cup on the glass will assist in handling the window.

4A NOTE

Note: Each existing window frame and wall depth will vary in different applications; therefore there is not a standard measurement for the overhang of the window frame to the exterior or for the distance from the interior face of the window to interior trim. When performing Steps 4B thru 4C, installing the frame screws, be sure to keep the distance consistent all around the window.

Note: On the exterior, there must be enough room for backer rod and 3/8" sealant bead.

B.Place shims aligned with the top pre-drilled hole in one jamb of the window frame. Keep shims back 1/2" from interior face of window. Partially insert one 3-1/4" finish wood screw. Repeat on the other jamb.

Note: Position the shims to ensure they allow at least 1/2" from the exterior surface of the window to allow for placement of backer rod and sealant.

C.Continue placing shims at each pre-drilled hole as needed to plumb and square the window. Check the window for square by making sure the diagonal measurement from corner to corner of the replacement window is within 1/8" in both directions. Insert a

3-1/4" finish wood screw into each pre-drilled hole in the frame. Finish inserting the top screw in each jamb.

Note: DO NOT shim above the window. DO NOT over shim.
