HORIZONTAL SLIDING WINDOW
Sash Removal
There are four sash in the main frame of a typical horizontal sliding window. For purposes of this
manual, they will be referred to as sash # 1 through # 4. Sash # 1 will be the innermost sash progressing
outward to sash # 4, the outermost, when looking at the window from inside the home. To remove the
sash, the innermost sash (# 1) is removed first, and then
# 2, # 3, and finally # 4. A three lite or XOX
slider with a total of six vents is also available. Follow the rationale below for sash
removal, removing end sash first then center sash.
1.
Release the sash lock on sash # 1, and slide sash to the open position,
allowing clearance for hands to grip sash (
Photos 15).
2.
Firmly grasp both side rails approximately halfway down from the top, and
carefully raise the sash into the head pocket
(Photo 16).
3.
With the sash raised, pull the bottom of the sash toward the interior of the
house until the bottom sash rail is clear of the sill
(Photo 17)
.
4.
With the bottom rail still clear of the sill, lower the sash until it disengages
from the head.
5.
Continue steps 1-4 for each sash to be removed.
