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 withoutan integral nail fin (including finless, applied/non-integral flushfin and flange). Not all window types may be installed into everywall condition in all areas. Consult your local building code officialfor applicable building codes and regulations. Local building coderequirements supersede recommended installation instructions. Areassuch as Florida and the Texas TDI region have different anchoringrequirements based on product certification. For information onspecific products, visit www.floridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow the anchoring schedule given in the drawings for theproduct instead of the anchoring schedule in this document.Double HungCasement1Single Hung (Tilt)Single Hung (Side Load)PictureHorizontal SliderAwning
Installation Instructionsfor Vinyl Windows without Nailing Fin (JII011)7 STEP INSTALLATION STICKERThe 7 Installation Steps below are included withthe product:1. Inspect Product: Products should be inspected for shipping damage,color, configuration, handing, etc. Additionally, inspect products forany manufacturing anomalies prior to installation (e.g. warp, bow,squareness). Contact Dealer or JELD-WEN if issues are identified.2. Inspect Rough Opening (R.O.): Inspect R.O. prior to installation ofthe product. Correct any deviation that would prevent the window/doorproduct from being installed plumb, level, square and without twist.3. Install Sill Pan: A sill pan is required prior to window/door productinstallation (refer to the latest version of ASTM 2112 for sill pandefinitions). Sill pan should have a positive slope and must be installedonto the sill of the R.O. in a weather-tight manner and able to drain to theexterior. For aftermarket sill pans, such as SureSill , follow manufacturer’sinstructions. For sill pans without a positive slope, place 1/4” tall plasticshim 2” from each corner and no more than 8” on-center in between(excludes Canada).4. Temporarily Fasten and Shim Product: Position window/doorproduct into R.O. and apply a screw through-frame/fin at an upper corner.Verify product is level. Add shims along the sides and head to makeproduct square, plumb and without twist (min. of 3 shims per side –top, bottom, middle).5. Fasten Product (Size and Spacing): Unless specified by instructionsor code, most products should be secured with a #8 pan-head (orlarger diameter head), corrosion-resistant screw; embedment must bea minimum of 1 1/4” into the structural framing. Place a shim at eachthrough-frame screw location. NOTE: Florida, Texas and other jurisdictionsmay have additional requirements – check local code. Additionally,folding nail fins and some exterior trim options are not structural, sothrough-frame fastening is required. See installation instructions for screwsize and spacing. As a default, screw spacing is 4” from corners and 8”on-center.26. Install Drip Cap: The use of a drip cap on all window/door productsis recommended, regardless if supplied. A drip cap is required on anyvertical mulled/joined products, regardless if supplied. NOTE: A drip capmay not be suitable for some product lines (e.g. brickmould vinyl, flush fin,vinyl flat casing, various wall systems), regardless these product lines needto be incorporated into the wall in a weather-shedding manner.7. Create “Interior” Air Seal: A “continuous” interior air seal is required(use low expansion window-door foam or backer rod and sealant)between the window/door frame and the R.O. framing (jamb extensionis not to be considered part of the frame). An air space should remainbetween the nail fin/exterior sealant joint and the interior air seal.NOTE: Shims may need to be cut back, so the interior air seal is“continuous” between the window/door frame and rough opening.Additionally, some wall systems may not allow for the application of aninterior air seal.Weather Proofing of the Rough Opening (R.O.) and/or Productis the responsibility of the Installer: JELD-WEN recommends the use ofindustry-recognized flashing systems, such as OSI (www.ositough.com) orother professional sources.NOTE: It is the responsibility of the Owner, Architect or GeneralContractor to select products in compliance with applicable laws andbuilding codes.These 7-steps serve as the basic/default steps during theinstallation process and are in conjunction with the followinginstallation instructions, which better refine fastener spacing,shimming, fastener location, additional information onapplying loose parts/components, product handling/storageand all other product related aspects/considerations, found atwww.jeld-wen.com.
