Fastening Methods and Jamb/Sill Screw Chart
Although structural installations may involve fastening with wood brick mould casing or nailing fin, there are two ways
to fasten your jambs to the opening for structural purposes:
1. #8 Wood screws (or 3/16
″
concrete anchors), 6
″
(152) from all corners and
15 ″ (381) on center around the perimeter.
or
2. Structural brackets, 6 ″ (152) from all corners and 15 ″ (381) on center around the perimeter.
Refer to the “Jamb/Sill Screw Chart” for proper fastening requirements for your particular product. Illustrations
show a concrete block opening but apply to typical wood frame construction as well.
NOTE: All mulled units require fastening with two screws or brackets on each side of the mull joint no more than
6
,
(152) from mull joint.
NOTE: Single UDH products do not require fastening at the sill. Multiple wide UDH assemblies require anchoring
at the sill mullion. UDHM IZ3 units must be installed with jamb screws, fastening at the sill is not required.
