INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSfor Vinyl Windows without Nailing Fin (JII011)Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’srecommended installation instructions for vinyl windows withouta nailing fin (including finless, flush fin and flange). Read theseinstructions thoroughly before beginning. They are designed to workin most existing applications, however; existing conditions may requirechanges to these instructions. If changes are needed, they are madeat the installer’s risk, however, approved methods will not typicallyaffect warranty coverage. See the appropriate warranty for details.For installations other than indicated in these instructions, contact abuilding professional.Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and watertightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressureinside the house, which can draw water through very small openings.Our installation method creates an air seal on the interior, integratingthe window with the rough opening.IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARYNot all window types may be installed into every wall condition in allareas. Consult your local building code official for applicable buildingcodes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersederecommended installation instructions. Areas such as Florida and theTexas TDI region have different anchoring requirements based onproduct certification. For information on specific products, visitwww.floridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow theanchoring schedule given in the drawings for the product instead ofthe anchoring schedule in this document.Note! Installations where the sill is higher than 35 feet above groundlevel, or any product installation into a wall condition not specificallyaddressed in these instructions, must be designed by an architector structural engineer. Failure to install windows into square, level,and plumb openings could result in denial of warranty claims foroperational or performance problems.Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the buildingowner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms andconditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.GLOSSARYBacker Rod (backing material)A material (e.g. foam rod), placed into a joint primarily to control thedepth of the sealant.BuckA wood framework attached to the masonry inside a window or patiodoor rough opening.Finless WindowA window without a nailing fin commonly referred to as finless,replacement, block frame, box frame, or pocket.Flush Fin WindowA window without a nailing fin that has a face flange (trim only).

For installation conditions other than indicated in theseinstructions, contact a building professional. Installation of a flush fin window into an existing aluminum windowframe or masonry wall. It is assumed there is a minimum 3/8" wide flatsurface for the flush fin to seal against. This flat surface should be flushwith or protrude past the exterior wall surface. This is intended to be asecondary weather barrier with the interior air seal the primary barrier. Installation of a finless window into an existing wood or aluminumwindow frame. Installation of a finless window into a masonry or stud framed wall.INSTALLATION INTO AN EXISTING WINDOW FRAMEA finless window used as areplacement product installedinto an existing wood orExistingaluminum window frame afterwindow framethe old sash(es) and hardwarehave been removed. Theexisting window frame must bewatertight within the structure.Correct pre-existing water leaksbefore installation. Any damaged portions of the existing sloped sill mustbe repaired and sealed to be waterproof.Flush fin windows must be installed onto a surface with at least a 3/8"wide exterior face. This face must be flush with or protrude past theexterior wall surface.

Failure to follow proper installation instructions may result inthe denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems. Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safelifting techniques. Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can causeserious injury. Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.). Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’soperating instructions. Use caution when working at elevated heights. If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint issuspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA(www. epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission officesprovide information regarding regulations and lead protection. Make sure operable windows are locked prior to installation. Heed material manufacturers’ handling and application instructions. Protect adhesive surfaces from dirt, moisture, direct sunlight andfolding over onto themselves. Handle in vertical position; do not carry flat or drag on floor. Do not put stress on joints, corners or frames. Store window in dry, well-ventilated area in vertical, leaning positionto allow air circulation; do not stack horizontally. Protect from exposure to direct sunlight during storage. Install only into vertical walls and when conditions and sheathing are dry.IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!MATERIALS AND TOOLSPROVIDED MATERIALS (INCLUDED WHEN ORDERED) Double Hung windows have two jamb adjuster screws. Dust plugs to cover installation screws. Jamb installation clips only provided for Fixed, Stationary Awning/Casement windows.NEEDED MATERIALSNote! Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for proper useand compatibility. When using flashing, spray adhesive/primer, sealantand foam products, we recommend using the same manufacturer andverifying compatibility. It is the End User’s responsibility to determine ifdissimilar materials are compatible to the substrates in the application. #8 x 1 1/4" corrosion-resistant pan head screws. Screws must penetrateat least 1" into framing (or as required by local code). For securing the sill in masonry applications, 3/16" x 1 1/4" minimumself-tapping concrete screws (gasketed head optional) (or as requiredby local code).
