Installation Instructions for Typical Wood Frame Construction.
These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction
in a wall system designed to manage water. These 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
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.

THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW OPENING ꢂꢀꢃꢅ FROM EACH SIDEꢇ 3PACERS 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. The 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.
2C
C. Fold out installation fin to 90°. Be careful not to remove or tear
THE lN CORNERSꢇ
Note: If the fin is not at 90°, the window will not line up
correctly on the interior.

Note: Do not shim above the window or in the
space between the spacers at the bottom of the
window. DO NOT over shim.
F. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior
face of the window to the interior face of the wall is equal at several
points around the window.

INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO
THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER
Note: The 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.

Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (3D).
4 INTERIOR SEAL
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.

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.
5 SEALING THE WINDOW TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING
When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space
between the window frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that
corresponds to your finish material.
Note: The sealant details shown are standard recommendations from the sealant industry.
Contact your sealant supplier for recommendations and instructions for these and any
other applications.
