ASSEMBLE FRAME
1. On a clean and at
surface, carefully
position head, jambs
and sill with the
interior facingdown.
2. Run a bead of
silicone on all
surfaces of the sill
as shown. If gaskets
are provided, adhere
to both ends of the
sill. Repeat silicone
application for the
head where the
ends will contact
thejambs.
3. Clamp the frame corners as needed to ensure that the frame sections
t together ush and secure through the pre-drilled holes in the
jambs with the provided #10 x 2-1/2" at head screws.
INSTALL FRAME
Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install.
1. Apply a 3/8" continuous
bead of sealant across
the sill pan back dam.
2. Tilt the frame into
the rough opening.
Make sure the back of
the frame sill makes
solid contact with the
sealant on the sill pan
back dam. Adequately
support the frame until
fully installed.
SHIM THE JAMBS
Note! Secure all shims with sealant.
1. From the interior,
shim the side and
head jambs 6" from
the corners and then
every 16" on center.
Also shim at the strike
plate(s) if applicable.
Align shims so that
strike plate screws
(installed later) will
each penetrate a shim.
2. Inspect the frame for
square, level and plumb
(remove and reinstall
if necessary). The sill
should be level and the
head should have a
1/8" upward bow.
