Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions
1. Review your local building codes to ensure compliance.
2. Contact Diggers Hotline to mark buried objects before excavating begins.
3. Ensure all faucets, hoses, sprinklers, and downspouts are at least 10 feet from the well and are aimed away from the well at all times.
4. Excavate a hole that is at least 12” wider than the well in all directions. The hole should be at least 12” below the bottom edge of
your window to allow for stone in the base of the well. Pack the base so the well is sitting on rm ground. Add more dirt as needed
to ensure the proper overall well height.

3 Year Limited Warranty on Manufacturer’s Defects Only
Shape Products, LLC warrants its White Well window well for a period of three (3) years from the original date of purchase. This warranty extends to the original purchaser. This warranty does not apply to damage from accident,
misuse, normal wear, alteration, improper installation, improper maintenance, or abuse. At no time will Shape Products be responsible for any damage to property due to improper installation of this product. ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES WHICH THE PURCHASER MAY HAVE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THREE (3) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not imply to you. Shape Products, LLC will replace a defective window well free of charge (except for dealer labor and shipping costs). Contact Shape Products, LLC at the address listed below (or see your Shape Products dealer)
to obtain service under this warranty. Proof of purchase is required and replacement is the sole remedy of the purchaser under this warranty, and in no event shall Shape Products, LLC be liable for any incidental or consequential
damages, losses, or expenses. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply. This warranty gives specic legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
You will mark the location of your rst two mounting points. The
top two points are approximately 52” to the center of each hole
and 2 ½” below the top edge of the well. Using your window as
a center point, measure and mark the top two mounting points.
It is important to mount the well using the recommended
dimensions to prevent adding stress to the well. This will also
ensure a better t for the cover.
Using the correct anchors for your foundation type, such as a sleeve
or wedge anchors, mount your well to the foundation at the two
points you just marked. Be sure the entire ange of your well is tight
to the foundation before you begin mounting, and during the
mounting process. It is recommended that you use a 1” diameter
washer between your foundation anchor and the ange of
the well.
Using hand tools only, backll around your well in 6-8” layers. Pack
each layer using non-mechanical means. Be sure any soil is free of
frozen clods, organic matter, rocks, and other debris. To help facilitate
drainage, it is suggested you backll with a compactable ll sand.
The area around the well should be backlled approximately 3” below
the upper rim of the well. It is important to ensure that the nished grade
slopes away from the well in all directions.
*NOTE: Heavy machinery must stay at LEAST 10 feet from the well
installation site at all times.
The mounting ange should extend beyond your window by a
minimum of 3 inches on each side. The well should extend above
the top of your window by at least 2 inches to allow for unrestricted
use of your egress window. If your window frame protrudes out from
the home, it is suggested you install the well above the frame to
allow for a window well cover to be installed ush with the home.
