ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION

REMEMBER TO USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

B. Verify the window will fit the opening. Measure all four sides

of the opening to make sure it is 1/2" larger than the window in
both width and height. On larger openings measure the width and
height in the center to check for bowed header and studs.

Note: 1-1/2" or more of solid wood blocking is required around
the perimeter of the opening. Fix any problems with the rough
opening before proceeding.

C. Cut the water resistive barrier (1C).
