resistant screws into the pre-punched holes in the clips. If clips are bent
and fastened to the interior stud/block, install the screws as close to the
bend as possible.
Note: DO NOT shim above the window. For masonry openings use
two 3/16" x 1-1/2" masonry screws per clip. Pre-drill the masonry
before attempting to drive the screws in.
B.
Plumb and square window.
Frame screw method:
Place shims 1" from the bottom
and top of the window between the window and the
sides of the opening. Adjust the shims as required to
plumb and square the window in the opening. Place
shims at the midpoint of the window sides. Adjust
the shims until the window sides are straight, and
the space between the sash and frame is equal from
top to bottom.
Installation clip method:
Shim between the installation
clip and the rough opening at each clip location.
Note: DO NOT shim above the window or in the space between the spacers at the bottom
of the window. DO NOT over shim.
C.
Check the interior reveal.
Make sure the measurement from the interior
face of the window to the interior face of the wall is equal at several points
around the window.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are
folded out to 90° at all points.
