Installation Instructions for Typical Wood Frame Construction.

These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction

in a wall system designed to manage water. These instructions are not to be used with any

other construction method. Installation instructions for use with other construction methods,

multiple units or bow and bay windows, may be obtained from Pella Corporation, a local Pella

retailer, or by visiting http://www.pella.com. Building designs, construction methods, building

materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method

different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation

method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.

Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width so that it will extend 6" up each side of

the opening.

REMEMBER TO USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

A. Make sure the bottom of the opening is level.

Note: It is critical that the bottom is level for the window to be

installed correctly.

B. Verify the window will fit the opening. Measure all four sides of

width and height. On larger openings measure the width and height in

several places to ensure the header or studs are not bowed.

Note: 1-1/2" or more of solid wood blocking is required around the

perimeter of the opening. Fix any problems with the rough opening

before proceeding.

C. Cut the water resistive barrier (1C). Additional cutting patterns

given below.

D. Fold the water resistive barrier (1D). Fold side flaps into the

opening and staple to inside wall. Fold top flap up and temporarily

fasten with flashing tape.

Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams

and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of high

5SEALING THE WINDOW TO THE

EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING

When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space

between the window frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that

corresponds to your finish material.

Note: The sealant details shown are standard recommendations from the sealant industry.

Contact your sealant supplier for recommendations and instructions for these and any

other applications.
