Dry Fit the Pocket Window (OPTIONAL):
• Before applying sealant, dry-t the pocket window into the existing
window frame to ensure the window ts as measured in the
previoussection.
Exterior Installation:
1. Apply a bead of
recommended sealant to
the exterior/backside of the
interior trim stops. Sealant
should be applied to both
sides, the head and bottom
of the opening.
2. Install the pocket window
into the opening, making sure
the frame makes continuous
contact with the sealant.
3. Drive a #8 x 3" screw
through one of the upper
pre-drilled holes in the
frame, leaving the screw
head proud.
4. Place shims between the
opening and the pocket
window frame at each
pre-drilled fastener location.
NOTE: DO NOT place
shims behind the jamb jacks
(located midpoint along
each side of the frame).
5. Inspect pocket window for
plumb, level, and square
dimensions. Additionally,
evaluate for twist. Correct
asneeded. See Product
Installation Tolerance Table for tolerances.
7. Install and drive screws
through each of the
remaining pre-drilled
fastener holes. Finish up by
snugging up the rst screw.
NOTE: Make sure the screw
heads in the head jamb are
ush and the screw heads
in the side jamb are snug to
the vinyl of the jambliner.
8. Double-check the frame for
square, plumb, level and
twist measurements. Correct
if needed.
9. Re-install the jamb liner
ller, head parting stop and
then both sash. Check for
operation. Make corrections
asneeded.
The pivot pin can
scratch/mar the
cladding/wood when
