Important installation requirements
Roof pitch
FCM is designed for roof pitches 0° - 60° (0:12 - 21:12).
The VELUX "No Leak" installation warranty applies only to VELUX curb mounted
skylight FCM with VELUX flashing ECL properly installed on roof pitches
10° - 60° or VELUX flashing ECW properly installed on roof pitches 14° - 60°.
Special consideration for applications below roof pitch 15°:
• Any condensation that forms on the glass due to high humidity may drip.
• Standing water and dirt left on the glass over time may cause smudging and
corrosion of the glass.
Neither of the two above stated occurrences are covered under the VELUX war-
ranty.
Importance of proper installation
Satisfactory product performance depends on proper installation.
Seller accepts no responsibility whatsoever for failure of an installer to install
VELUX
roof windows and skylights in accordance with these installation instruc-
tions. Although VELUX roof windows and skylights are designed and manu-
factured to the highest standards, severe climatic exposure as well as adverse
indoor conditions (ie high humidity) may produce temperature conditions which
exceed product performance standards. In these cases, special preventive mea-
sures may be necessary.
Seller reserves the right to implement product changes for improvement without
prior notification.
Sunscreening accessories
Refer to instructions for accessory type in question or contact your VELUX sales
company for further information.
Vapor barrier
Where a vapor barrier is part of the roof construction, this barrier must be
extended and connected to the skylight curb.
Consult local jurisdictions and authorities for recycling and proper disposal
of removed skylights and materials.
NOTICE
Skylights and interior surfaces in older homes may have been painted with
lead-based paint, and removal of the skylights may disturb this paint.
Take proper precautions to minimize exposure to dust and debris.
For more information on the proper removal of lead paint go to
www.epa.gov/lead.
Seller assumes no obligation whatsoever for failure of an architect, install-
er or building owner to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, build-
ing codes and safety requirements.
NOTICE
In rare circumstances, all glass may be subject to unexpected and spontaneous
breakage due to imperfections in the glass that are undetectable during the
manufacturing and inspection process by the manufacturer of the glass and the
VELUX factory.
Your VELUX sales company offers the choice of laminated or tempered glass
skylights. Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheets with
one or more interlayers of plastic (PVB) or resin. In case of breakage, the
interlayer is designed to hold the fragments together. Tempered glass does not
contain an interlayer to hold the fragments together. Instead, tempered glass is
designed to break into small, pebble-like pieces. When tempered glass breaks,
pieces of glass come loose and may strike an individual.
Consult local regulations and/or building material consultants to determine
which type of glass is right for you or if laminated glass is required in your
application.

series A21 skylights are designed and engineered to be installed with
VELUX flashing systems. VELUX flashing systems include VELUX adhesive
skylight underlayment in a quantity sufficient to install one skylight of the size
for which the flashing system was designed.
The VELUX "No Leak" installation warranty is based upon installation strictly
in accordance with VELUX deck or curb mounted skylight and related deck or
curb mounted flashing installation instructions, which specify the use and proper
installation of the VELUX adhesive skylight underlayment packaged with the
flashing system.
