Prepare and Install the Cill Flashing
Fit the Cill Flashing using either the cill flashing supplied as part of the flashing kit (if specified) or otherwise use the flashing lead to
code 4, normally 1.8mm thick. The flashing should be at least 300 mm longer than the external width of the product and should be
installed centrally. For sunken installations, the lead should extend beyond the sunken detail on either side, dressing it neatly up
and over the step. The flashing should lap under the cill of the product by at least 50 mm but should not overlap the butyl tape to
be applied in step 4. Apply silicone underneath the flashing, and if required fix the flashing in place using brass or stainless-steel
tacks (not supplied).

Place and Fix the Product in Position (First Section)
These products can be very heavy. Consideration should be given to getting the product onto the roof safely and
extreme care taken during installation.
Glazing Vision supplies woodscrews with the Pitchridge If fixing to a support structure made from a material other
than timber, ensure the correct type of screws or fixings have been sourced prior to commencing this step.
Remove all packaging from the product including polyfoam glass protection and low tack tape.
When removing the packaging, try to keep it intact as much as possible, so that after installation it can be re-used to
protect the product until project completion and final handover.
