Installation Instructions
for Vinyl Windows without Nailing Fin (JII011)
6
a. If installing a window with
installation clips, drive a
screw through the clip until
the screw head contacts the
clip. Do not bend the clip
toward the rough opening
(applying a shim between
clip and rough opening
can be helpful to prevent
bending the clip).
b. If installing a window
with fasteners through
the jambs, secure with a
#8 screw until fully seated
(without deforming vinyl).
3. Inspect window for square,
level and plumb (adjust shims
or remove and reinstall if necessary).
4. Fasten window in a similar
manner through the remaining
corners, and then through the
rest of the fastener locations.
If installing fasteners in the
sill, apply sealant to the
screw threads and the head
of the screw in the window
frame (use more sealant
as necessary to completely
seal the screw head to the
frame), or use a gasketed
head screw.
5. Insert plugs into fastener
holes not located in any
operating track. Seal plugs in the sill with sealant. Replace track llers if
applicable.
6. If installing a window
using the stop in method,
this installation assumes
installation from the interior
with exterior stops applied
before window installation.
All stops must over hang the
window frame by a minimum
of1/8".
a. Mill and install exterior
stops in the desired location
if necessary for the side and
head jambs.
b. Apply sealant to the interior side of the side and head jamb exterior
stops and verify it is properly shimmed until square, level andplumb.
c. Apply backer rod and sealant or low expansion foam on the interior
between the window frame and rough opening on all foursides.
d. Install interior stops on all four sides.
4. Center the head expander
(optional) over the head of the
window as shown.
5. From the interior, apply sealant
to the inside edge of the
outside stop. Set window with
a sill adapter fully against the
outside stop.
Continue with
“AllInstallations.”
If Installing into an Existing
Frame or Rough Opening with
a Flat Sill:
Center the head expander (optional) over the head of the window. Set
new window into the existing window frame or rough opening.
Continue with “All Installations.”
All Installations
1. Shim the side jambs between
the rough opening or existing
frame and the new window
at each fastener location.
Shims must be set 1/4"
back from the interior of the
window frame. Secure shims
withsealant.
NOTE: On some double-hung
operating units only, jamb
adjuster hardware is mounted in
the middle installation holes to
allow for some jamb adjustment.
Install jamb adjuster screws until
captured (rst ‘click’), the screw
may then be screwed in or out to
adjust the jamb as needed.
2. Secure one upper corner as
follows (skip to step 7 if using
the stop in method).
