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  
different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation  
method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.

Note: e flashing tape may not fully cover the framing  
members.  
SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW  
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.  
2A  
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.  
C. Fold out installation fin to 90°. Be careful not to remove or  
tear the fin corners.  
2C  
Note: If the fin 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 fixed fin.  
On windows with fixed extruded fin, drill 1/8" diameter holes in the fin every 12".

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 roofing nail in the first hole from  
the corner on each end of the top nailing fin. ese are used  
to hold the window in place while shimming it plumb and  
square.

recheck shim locations and adjust for plumb and square.  
2I  
I. Fasten the window to opening by driving 2" galvanized roofing  
nails into each pre-punched hole in the nailing fin.  
Note: Make sure the fin corner is lying as flat as possible.  
J. For units with flexible non-structural curved fin on which clips were  
added: Fasten the clips to the opening by driving two #6 x 1-1/2" or longer  
corrosion resistant into the pre-punched holes in the clips. If clips are bent  
and fastened to the interior stud, install the screws as close to the bend as  
possible.  
2J  
Note: DO NOT shim above the window.  
K. For large units with frame height or frame width > 73”; additional frame support screws  
must be installed at the head and jambs. On the roomside of the unit, drill 13/64” diameter  
clearance holes through the head and jambs at the 1/3 points of the frame.

Flashing  
Tape  
Note: e flashing tape must be applied  
approximately 1/2" onto the frame cladding at the  
jambs and head. Pre-folding the tape at 1/2" before  
removing the paper backing will make it easier to  
apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2"  
thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior  
sealant line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.  
Rectangular Units Only:  
A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing  
tape 4" longer than the frame height of the window.  
Apply one piece to each side 1/2" onto the frame  
cladding, over the nailing fin and onto the water  
resistive barrier. e tape should extend 2" above the  
top of the window and 2" below the bottom of the  
window. Press the tape down firmly while folding  
down the excess tape at the top and bottom of the  
window.  
3B  
3B  
B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing  
tape long enough to go across the top of the window  
and extend at least 1" past the side flashing tape  
on both sides. Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame  
cladding, over the top nailing fin as shown. Fold  
the overlapping tape down, and press all tape down  
firmly.  
1"  
3C  
Note: DO NOT tape or seal the bottom nailing fin.  
3D  
C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (3C).

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of  
flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in  
the water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering the  
entire diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at both  
upper corners of the window.  
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (3D).

Curve Top and Angle Top Units Only:  
A. Units that do not have pre-applied fin corners:  
Cut four pieces of flashing tape 1-1/2" long. Apply  
one piece of flashing tape to each end of the sill fin  
so that it extends 1-1/2" past the end of the sill fin.  
Apply one piece of flashing tape to the bottom end  
of each flexible fin, beginning 1-1/2" from the end  
of the fin and lapping over the flashing tape that  
extends from the end of the sill fin.  
3A

2nd  
B. For Curve Top Windows: Several  
pieces of flashing tape will be  
needed to cover the top fin.  
Start taping from the sides of the  
window working toward the peak.  
To determine the length of cuts,  
hold the tape along the radius,  
and cut the tape just past where it  
leaves the top fixed extruded fin  
or for the flexible fin, just past the  
flexible weather strip. e top tape  
must overlap the one beneath it in  
order to divert water properly. e  
sharper the arc of the window, the  
shorter the pieces of tape will be.  
3B  
3C  
Exterior  
C. Apply top flashing tape to an angle  
top window 1/2" up onto the frame  
cladding, over the top fin onto the  
sheathing. On the short side of a  
trapezoid window, do not allow the  
side flashing tape to extend higher than  
what the top tape will cover. Fold the  
overlapping tape down, and press all  
tape down firmly.

INTERIOR SEAL  
4
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 pressure  
foams or improper application of the foam may cause the window  
frame to bow and hinder operation.  
4A  
Interior  
A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert the nozzle  
of the applicator approximately 1" deep into the space between the  
window and the rough opening and apply a 1" deep bead of foam.  
is will allow room for expansion of the foam and will minimize  
squeeze out. Apply sealant across interior surface of shims to create a  
continuous seal. Follow foam manufacturer's instructions.  
Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin to  
the interior face of the opening.  
B. Check window operation (vent units only) by opening and closing  
the window.  
Note: If the window does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level,  
square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam with  
a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.
