Lovelace Development Inc. We supplied all

|
1.
Frame the rough opening 3/8" to 3/4"
larger than the actual net window size.
(Net window size does not include nail-on
fin.) The framing should be plumb,
square and level.
NOTE: For vinyl windows, a double
sill plate is recommended.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
2.
Apply the first strip of flashing paper (6"minimum
width, 9" recommended) horizontally
along the sill plate, extending it a minimum of
8" beyond the opening of each side.
Tack in place.
3.
Apply a continuous bead of sealant to the back
side (interior of sill) of the nail-on fin prior
to installing the window.
|
|
|
|
4a.
Place the window into the opening from the outside (handle
goes to the inside), centered between the vertical
studs. Shim and adjust the window as necessary to
achieve a plumb and level condition, as well as an even reveal
around the frame opening. Secure the jambs and sill with
the equivalent of, 6d galvanized or aluminum nails, through
the nail fin on a maximum of 16" center. Do not
nail through the nail fin at the head - put the nails
1/2" above the fin and bend them over the
fin.
NOTE: DO NOT shim directly under the vinyl window
frame. Shim between he sill plates. |

4.
To check for square, open the moving vent
1/2". The reveal should be the same
at the top and bottom. |
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Apply a continuous and generous bead of
caulking to the exposed nail fin of the head and
two vertical jambs.
6. Starting at each jamb, (vertical
members), embed the flashing paper into the
caulking, extending the flashing 9" beyond the
head and below the sill and tack into place.
Repeat the same at the head (top and bottom). |
