6.Caution: The mounting flange is provided with pre-punched holes, never leave holes or slots unsealed; water can penetrate. Caution: Fasteners should be installed so spacing is not more than 10" on center (see figure 4), but may be installed closer together if so desired. Continue installation of the rest of the fasteners starting in the center of each member and progressing out to the corners. Fasteners must be installed close enough together to ensure the sealant on the back of mounting flange makes full contact with the exterior perimeter of the R.O.

7.Note: One (1) fastener must be installed at each corner so that it is within ¾” to 1¼” of the end of the frame member extrusion joined to form the corner (see figure 4).

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Insulation – Insulate between the window frame and the interior of the R.O. at both jambs and at the head. Caution: Do not over pack insulation, as bowed frame/jambs may result. Expandable foam type material may bow frame also, causing improper operation of the unit.

Cleaning – Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass as they may perma- nently scratch or mar the surface. Any cleaners, other than a mild deter- gent and soft cloth, should be tried in a small corner of the window so as to check whether they damage the finish.

Weather-stripping, hardware components, tracks or vinyl components should not be painted or stained.

Flashing – Philips recommends the use of flashing for proper drainage. Reference Section 16 (New Construction Installations) of AAMA Installer Certification Manual. It is also acceptable to use a “house wrap system” that is sealed and allows no opportunity for water to penetrate behind the mounting flange to the interior wall cavity.

When using staple guns to install vinyl windows and sliding doors, it it not necessary that one leg of the staple pass through the nailing fin hole. Care must be taken to not break the fin. If a fin is cracked or the staple blows through the fin, it must be repaired by sealing the crack with sealant and placing a properly installed staple 1” or 2” on each side of the blow through.

OPTIONAL FIELD MULLING/STACKING PROCEDURES

(Series 800 Windows Only)

For mulling/stacking instructions use Lit-1607.
