3. On Ultimate Casement units, position the screw so

that it misses any operating hardware (if applicable).

With typical installations, you should be able to locate

the screw in the center groove in the frame and just

to the exterior of the kerf that holds the head jamb

stop. See figure 8.

4. On Ultimate Double Hung units, locate the screw in

the jamb carrier kerf (jambs) and in the kerf used to

hold the parting stop (head jamb). Make sure to

countersink the screw so that it doesn’t interfere with

installation of the jamb liner and/or parting stop. See

figure 9.

5. On IZ3 Ultimate Double Hung units, fasten through

the “Storm Brackets” on the jambs with two

#8 x 2 1/2,

(64)

wood screws through the top bracket

and one screw through the bottom bracket. See the

“Special Fastening Systems” section for more de-

tails.
