for Siteline

Wood/Clad Wood Casement and Awning

Pocket Windows (JII-90020)

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s

recommended installation instructions for Siteline Pocket (replacement)

Casement, Awning or Picture Windows, designed to be installed into

an existing window frame. Pocket windows may be installed from

either the exterior or interior. Exterior detail work is needed in both

installation types. Not all windows can be installed into every wall

condition in all areas. Consult your local building department for

applicable building codes and regulations (particularly regarding

minimum egress requirements). Local building code requirements

supersede recommended installation instructions. JELD-WEN does not

endorse the installation of our products into a barrier-type system

unless a sill pan is present, incorporated with through-wall ashing

and can drain to the exterior (along with other “required” components).

Failure to do so may result in the denial of any warranty claims. Areas such as

Florida and the Texas TDI region have different anchoring requirements

based on product certication. For information on specic products,

visit www.oridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow the

anchoring schedule given in the drawings for the product instead of

the anchoring schedule in thisdocument.
