and in the center.

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.

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 (IE) 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 the corner) (1F). Fold tape to the exterior

and press rmly to adhere it to the water resistive barrier.
