3 INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER (continued)
Curve Top and Angle Top Units Only:
A.Units that do not have pre-applied fin corners:
Cut four pieces of flashing tape
Apply one piece of flashing tape to the bottom end of each flexible fin, beginning
3A
1st
3A
2nd
B.For Curve 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.

C. Apply top flashing tape to an angle | 3C | |
top window 1/2" up onto the frame |
| |
cladding, over the top fin onto the | 3C | |
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. |
