Installation Instructions for Typical Wood Frame Construction.
ese instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction
in a wall system designed to manage water. ese 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
dierent from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation
method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.

A. Verify the opening is plumb and level.
Note: It is critical that the bottom is level.
B. Verify the window will t the opening.
Measure all four sides of the opening to make

sure it is 3/4" larger than the window in
both 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).

ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION (continued)

E. Apply sill ashing tape #1. Cut a piece of ashing tape 12"
longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom of the
opening as shown (1E) so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.
Note: e tape is cut 12" longer than the width so that it
will extend 6" up each side of the opening.
F. Tab the sill ashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at each
corner (1/2" from each side of corner) (1F). Fold tape to the
exterior and press rmly to adhere it to the water resistive
barrier.
G. Apply sill ashing tape #2. Cut a piece of ashing tape
12" longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom,
overlapping tape #1 by at least 1". Do not allow the tape to
extend past the interior face of the framing (1G).
Note: e ashing tape may not fully cover the framing
members.
SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW
2
A. Install and level sill spacers. Place 1" wide by 3/8" thick spacers
on the bottom of the window opening 1/2" from each side.
Spacers are also required at points where windows are joined in
multiple window applications. Add shims as necessary to ensure
the spacers are level. Once level, attach spacers and shims to
prevent movement.
Note: Improper placement of shims or spacers may result in
bowing the bottom of the window.
B. Remove plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from window. DO NOT remove plastic
shipping spacers located between the window sash and frame. e shipping spacers will help
keep the window square during installation. DO NOT unlock or open the window until it
is fully fastened.
Note: If screens, grilles or hardware are removed from the window at this time, label
them and store them in a protected area.

tear the n corners.
Note: If the n is not at 90°, the window will not line up
correctly on the interior.
D. Curved Units with Fins:
Curved Units with frame radius > 12" will be provided with xed n.
On windows with xed extruded n, drill 1/8" diameter holes in the n every 12".

Curved Units with frame radius ≤ 12", full circle
and elipse units will be provided with a exible
non-structural n on the curved portion of the
unit.
Note: is n is intended for ashing only, not as
structural support.
Installation Clips for Structural Support:
Determine installation clip placement. Clips
(provided) should be evenly spaced across the curved
frame member and no more than 16" on center.
Place the clips so the lip is facing up and against the
instillation n. Secure each clip by driving a #6 x 5/8"
corrosion resistant screws through the outer two holes
of the three holes shown.

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE
FOLLOWING STEPS.
E. Insert the window from the exterior of the building. Place
the bottom of the window on the spacers at the bottom of the
opening, then tilt the top into position. Center the window
between the sides of the opening to allow clearance for
shimming, and insert one roong nail in the rst hole from
the corner on each end of the top nailing n. ese are used
to hold the window in place while shimming it plumb and
square.
2E
F. Plumb and square window. Place shims 1" from
the bottom and top of the window between the
window and the sides of the opening. Adjust
the shims as required to plumb and square the
window in the opening. If the frame height
exceeds 53", place shims at the midpoint of the
window sides.
Note: Do not shim above the window or in the
space between the spacers at the bottom of the
window. DO NOT over shim.
