ABSTRACT

These instructions advise the window installer/carpenter/contractor on the recommended way to install Marvin

windows where structural installation is necessary, including those rated for use in Impact Zones 2 and 3. Exact

installation methods for Impact Zone 4 windows are NOT included. Instead, refer to the Notice of Acceptance (see

details inside).

In addition to steps for installing your window, included within are: Rough opening (RO) preparation for recessed

masonry applications; RO prep and sealing details for standard wood frame construction; detailed fastening

methods and more.

The procedures within these instructions are consistent with those used in testing to achieve the advertised DP

rating. Contact your local Marvin dealer if your construction scenario differs from those detailed within.

Regional standard practices, environmental conditions and codes may vary and supersede the

procedures contained within. The responsibility for compliance is yours: the installer, inspector, and

owner(s). See the Technical Installation Specifications inside for more details.

These instructions are applicable for the following Structural installations:

Clad Ultimate Double Hung Magnum

Wood Ultimate Double Hung Magnum

NOTE: Certified IZ2 and IZ3 Casemaster, Ultimate Double Hung, and Direct Glaze Polygon/Round Top

units must be installed using jamb screws or structural brackets. Certified IZ3 Ultimate Double Hung

Magnum units must be installed using the jamb screw method only.
