3 INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER (continued)

C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (3C).

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of

 

flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the

 

water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering the entire

3D

diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at both upper

 

corners of the window.

 

Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (3D).

Curve Top and Angle Top Units Only:

A.Units that do not have pre-applied fin corners: Cut four pieces of flashing tape 1-1/2" long. Apply one piece of flashing tape to each end of the sill fin so that it extends 1-1/2" past the end of the sill fin. Apply one piece of flashing tape to the bottom end of each flexible fin, beginning 1-1/2" from the end of the fin and lapping over the flashing tape that extends from the end of the sill fin.

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

3B

 

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 top

3C

 

window 1/2" up onto the frame cladding,

 

 

over the top fin onto the sheathing. On

3C

 

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.
