Center the Simonton Windows Greenhouse Window in rough opening allowing equal clearance on both sides and top. Bottom pan should line up with the finished sill height, allowing for any inside additional material such as tile (see Figure 3). Attach window to jambs, sill and header with screws long enough to penetrate through any furring strips and at least 1-1/2 into framing, every 12. A ribbon of caulking between the frame and flashing is a must. Figure 3 Bottom Pan 16 Bracket 19 Finished Sill 16 4. On 5-0 to 6-0 wide windows, support bracing is required on each end of the window (Warranty will be void without proper support). These supports can be constructed as part of the wall framing or metal support brackets may be fabricated to adequately support the window. Fasteners to be supplied by installer (1/4 x 3 lag screws are suggested for wall mounting). Brackets must attach to the vertical studs below the window (see Figure 3). 5. Fastening the bracket to the bottom pan is not necessary. If fasteners are desired, the MAXIMUM screw length will be 3/4 as shown in Figure 3. Use caution when attaching as not to penetrate the inside pan surface. Figure 4 Header Patent No D320-952 - Patent No 6,588,146B1 ev: 08/20/09 Tel: 1-800-SIMONTON (1-800-746-6686) WWW.SIMONTON.COM
