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 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.
