Installation of DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB frame prior to window installation is necessary for
proper shingling and integration with the DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB which will be installed
after the window (see Step B-12).
A. Cut a piece of DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB that is 24” wider and 24” taller than the
window rough opening to allow a 12" width around all sides.
B. Center the piece of DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB over the rough opening and fasten along
the sides and across the top using DuPont
Tyvek
®
Wrap Caps or recommended
fastening system. Fasteners should not be installed within 10" of the edge of the
rough opening, and no fasteners should be installed within 8" of the bottom edge
of the DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB.
C. Cut an opening using an “O” cut at the perimeter of the rough opening along the
dashed indicated lines to create a DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB frame around the
window. (Ensure that the DuPont
Tyvek
®
WRB frame is cut flush with the
sheathing and is not wrapped into the rough opening).
