Flashing

1. Preparations: All framing members must

conform to present industry standards.

2. Set window in rough opening from outside

with nailing fin overlapping exterior sheathing.

Provide a continuous bead of sealant between

the nailing fin and exterior sheathing. Press

the fin into the sealant before nailing. Center

window within rough opening.

3. Level and plumb window by shimming

at sill, side jambs and head if necessary

(Figure 1). Be sure to check both side-to-side

and front-to-back alignment. Shim spaces to

be no more than

" per side.

4. Secure nailing fin with #10 x 2" long pan

head wood screws with #10 washers,

starting 3" in from all corners and 8" on

center maximum spacing.

5. Install 9" flashing strips over the nailing

fins as shown in Figure 2. Apply

underlayment (such as building paper) in

a shingled (overlapping) pattern or follow

industry standards for window flashing.

6. After exterior siding or brick is applied,

caulk around perimeter of window unit.

(When brick veneer is used as exterior

finish, adequate clearance must be left for

caulking between window sill and masonry.

This will prevent damage and bowing of

sill caused by shrinkage and settling of

structural lumber.)
