Step 1: Rough Opening and Framing Requirements  
This section gives requirements for framing and rough opening clearances. Masonry or concrete openings must be  
lined with a treated wood product (wood buck). You must fasten the buck to the masonry opening in a fashion that  
will withstand conditions which would be encountered under the certified and advertised DP ratings for this window.  
The structural integrity of this installation is only as good as the bond between the wood buck and the masonry  
opening. For more details, contact your Marvin representative.  
NOTE: Wood buck material thickness may vary. Illustrations show a 1/2plywood and 2 x 4 buck. Installations

1. On concrete block, masonry, or similar situations, line  
the sides, head jamb, and sill with treated lumber.  
Attach the lumber to the masonry opening with  
construction adhesive and masonry anchors which  
should penetrate the masonry opening by at least  
1-- 1 1 / 2 (25--38). See figure1a and 1b.  
NOTE: If your installation requires screwing through  
the sill for structural purposes, place a bead of sealant  
where the screws will penetrate the rigid sill panning.  
4. The window frame must not come in contact with  
treated lumber. If you will not be using rigid panning  
or shimming at the sill, apply a barrier such as a self  
sealing adhesive flashing to the rough opening sill.  
See figure 1 c.  
2. For standard wood frame construction, prepare the  
opening following localcodes, ASTME2112--1, orfol-  
low the steps in the “Continuous Air Barrier Sys-  
tems” section.  
3. If rigid panning is used, place a bead of silicone or  
construction adhesive over any fasteners used to  
hold the panning to the sill.

Figure 2: Preparing openings for concrete block openings.  
5. Rough openings1 (RO) should be 1(25) wider than  
the outside measurement of the frame and 1/2(13)  
higher. Masonry openings (MO) should be 1/2(13)  
wider than the outside measurement of the frame or  
casing and 1/4(6) higher than the outside measure-  
ment of the frame or casing. When framing rough  
opening, care should be taken to ensure the sill plate  
is levelandtheopeningis square, straightandplumb.  
See figure 2.  
ATTENTION: Be aware that use of rigid sill pans and  
other barriers will decrease the rough opening height  
clearance. Adjust opening dimensions accordingly.  
CAUTION! If the previous conditions are  
not met, the installer must take corrective  
actions to alter the opening(s) before  
proceeding. It is also essential that the sheathing  
behind the wall be a solid surface to ensure that  
the unit can be secured firmly to the wall.  
NOTE: On standard wood frame construction with  
brick veneer, make sure there is at least 1/2(13)  
between bottom of window sill (or eventual  
placement of the window) and the top row of brick  
to avoid “brick bind”.

Step 2: Unit Preparation  
1. Remove the protective packaging from the unit  
and dispose/recycle properly. Inspect unit for  
any hidden damage and report immediately to  
your Marvin representative. Provide the cus-  
tomer service number etched on one of the top  
corners of the glass. See figure 3.  
Customer service number  
2. Remove any shipping clips unless noted other-  
wise.  
NOTE: Do not remove the vinyl shipping blocks  
or shipping tube assembly on Ultimate Double  
Hungs until installation is complete (unless  
installing with jamb screws).  
3. Ifused on clad units, position the factory applied  
nailing fin/drip cap in the upright position. See  
figure 4.  
4. On wood units with brick mould casing, apply  
sealant at the casing to frame joint along the  
jambs and head jamb, at the sill horn to casing  
joint, and at the miter corners of the casing. See  
figure 5.  
Figure 3:  
5. If you are installing a window with installation  
brackets or structural masonry clips, fasten to  
the window now. Follow the fastener spacing in  
the “Installation Methods and Fastener  
Spacing Chart”. Follow the instructions pro-  
vided with the brackets for details on how to fas-  
ten to unit. Ultimate Double Hung Magnum  
units are sent with supplemental instructions  
which detail how to remove the sash and jamb  
fillers.  
Figure 4: Extend nailing fin.  
6. If you will be fastening with screws through the  
jambs, head jambs, and sill, remove your sash  
and covers or liners at this time. Refer to the  
section, “Removing Interior Stops, Liners,  
andFillers” and “RemovingSash” fordetails.  
7. Install jamb extension before installing the win-  
dow intheroughor masonry opening. Follow in-  
structions provided with the jamb extension.

Step 3: Installing the Window  
The following steps provide details for structural fastening of the window to the opening. When installing windows  
with nailing fin or wood brick mould casing, it may be desirable to first attach the window using these fastening  
methods in conjunction with steps 1--5. Then complete the installation by fastening with structural masonry clips,  
installation brackets, or screws. Always follow fastener spacing and allowable methods outlined in the “Installation  
Methods” and “Fastener Spacing Chart” sections. On applicable construction using a continuous air barrier  
system, prepare the opening before installing the window. Refer to the “Continuous Air Barrier Systems” section  
for details.  
Measure  
diagonally  
for square

(b)  
(a)  
Figure 6: Plumb and square unit. (Illustration shows both masonry clip and jamb screw installation.)  
5. Fasten and shim about 4(102) from the top to square  
the unit in the opening. Take diagonal measurements  
of the window. When equal, the window is square in  
the opening. Adjust the shims and fasteners until the  
unit is square in the opening. See figure 6b.  
Seek Assistance: Some large windows  
and/or assemblies are very heavy. Avoid  
injury by getting help to lift and position the  
window into the rough opening.  
CAUTION: Proper shimming is extremely  
important. Under--shimming or over--  
shimming will result in bowed jambs and

ods or shim under window sill to ensure it does not  
come in direct contact with treated lumber.  
or head jamb. Both conditions can contribute to  
improper window operation and performance.  
2. On some larger units such as the Ultimate Double  
Hung Magnum, it may be necessary to remove the  
sash prior to installation. See the sash removal sec-  
tion for details.  
Installation Tip: On operating units, one  
method to ensure that the unit is installed  
square is to check the reveal (gap) between the  
operating sash and the frame. An even reveal around  
the entire sash generally indicates a correctly  
installed unit and will ensure smooth operation.  
3. Center the window in the opening. Level at the sill  
and plumb the frame (interior/exterior) to desired  
depth.  
4. Fasten and shim the jambs at the bottom with the ap-  
propriate fastener(follow instructionsin the “Fasten-  
ing Methods” section). See figure 6a. Ultimate  
Double Hung Magnum are sent with supplemental  
instructions that explain how to fasten through the  
jamb and head jamb.  
NOTE: Some units such as the Ultimate Double Hung  
Magnum and IZ3 Ultimate Double Hung, feature unique  
fastening systems. For these windows refer to the “Spe-  
cial Fastening Systems” section for details.  
6. Complete shimming and fastening at locations and  
spacing specified in the “Installation Methods and  
Fastener Spacing Chart”. See figure 6c.  
7. Recheck the diagonals one more time to make sure  
the unit is square in the opening. Adjust fasteners as  
necessary to bring to square.  
8. Once the unit is installed square and plumb, operate  
the sash (on operable units) to make sure it is operat-  
ing properly. If not, you may have to make some addi-  
tional adjustments to the shims and fasteners.  
9. If removed, replace your stops, covers, and liners.

Fastening Methods  
Although structural installations may involve fastening with wood brick mould casing, there are three ways to fasten  
yourjambstotheopeningforstructuralpurposes. #8Woodscrews(or3/16concreteanchors), installationbrackets,  
or structural masonry clips. Refer to the “Installation Methods and Fastener Spacing Chart” for proper fastening  
requirements for your particular product. Illustrations show a concrete block opening but apply to typical wood frame  
construction as well.  
Wood BMC  
Masonry Clips/Installation Brackets  
1. Fasten units using wood brick mould casing with 16d  
casing nails spaced at the range specified in the  
“Installation Methods and Fastener Spacing  
Chart”. See figure 7.  
1. Depending on construction method or wall type, you  
may need to modify the structural masonry clip to fit  
the opening. Once bent around the framing or open-  
ing, drill two 5/32(5) holes in the bracket no more  
than 1/4(6) from the edge of the framing. See  
figure 8.

Fastening Methods (cont.)  
Jamb/Sill Screws  
1. After removing covers or liners, fasten units to the  
framing with #8 wood screws or 3/16concrete an-  
chors1. Adjust length of fastener so that it penetrates  
no less than 1 1/4(32) into framing/opening. When  
fastening through the sill, always pre--drill and fill  
hole with sealant before driving the screw. Always  
place a shim behind or above the screw location on  
jambs and head jambs.  
3. 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 10.  
NOTE: When using masonry anchors, be sure to follow  
manufacturer’s guidelines for proper installation. Some  
types require pre--drilling.  
2. On Casemaster 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 9.  
Fastener  
Figure 10: Exterior View, fastening through UDH frames.  
4. 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.

Figure 11: Fastening UDH Storm Brackets.  
1. Ultimate Double Hung IZ3 units have two storm  
brackets attached to each jamb. If you are using  
the jamb screw method for installation you will no-  
tice these when you remove the clad and wood fill-  
ers. If you are using the masonry bracket method,  
you must first remove the check rail dust block and  
pull out the bottom part of the top jamb weather  
strip as well as remove the bottom sash stay. See  
figures 11a and 11b.  
5. Extend  
storm  
brackets during in-  
clementweatherby  
insertinga stick pin,  
nail, or pen through  
the hole in the  
bracket. Then slide  
the bracket away  
from the window  
frame as shown in  
figure 12.  
2. Push the clad jamb filler up as far as it will go to re-  
veal the predrilled hole in the jamb carrier. Fasten  
the jambs through the storm bracket by drivingone  
of the #8 x 2 1/2screws through the pre--drilled  
hole in the jamb. See figure 11c.  
Figure 12: Using storm brackets  
3. Press the top jamb weatherstrip back into place.  
Slide the bottom jamb filler down as far as it will go.  
Fasten the jamb through the storm bracket by driv-  
ing two of the #8 x 2 1/2screws through the pre--  
drilled holes in the jamb. See figure 11d.  
WARNING: IZ3 storm protection for  
CUDH operators requires that storm  
brackets be put in the extended position.  
If the homeowner will be away from home for any  
period of time in which strong winds are pos-  
sible, it is recommended that the storm brackets  
be pulled out to the extended storm ready posi-  
tion before leaving home.  
4. Slide the bottom jamb filler back up until it touches  
the jamb weatherstrip. Replace the check rail dust  
block and the bottom sash stay. See figures 11e  
and 11f.

1. Place a bead of sealant at the wood buck to masonry  
joint. See figure 13a.  
3. In some situations such as recessed masonry  
openings, you can use frame expander or other  
clad accessories to finish the exterior. If this is the  
case, apply a bead of sealant between the acces-  
sory and the masonry at the head jamb and jamb  
sections. Leave the sill portion unsealed to allow  
water to escape. See figure 13c.  
2. For recessed masonry applications, Marvin recom-  
mends sealing at the buck to frame joint with ap-

Figure 15: Rough opening preparation for construction methods using a continuous air barrier system and rigid sill panning.  
1. Trim air barrier across top of head jamb. Trim up  
from the bottom corners about 2(51) (or half the  
heightofthe panning flange) and then make an addi-  
tional horizontal cut about 2 1/2(64) wide (or the  
width ofthe panning flange). Fromthe horizontalcut,  
make two 45 degree cuts toward the center. Cut ver-  
tically from the head jamb to where the two 45s  
meet. See figure 15a.  
3. Run a bead of sealant approximately 3/4(19) from  
the edge of the opening. Start the bead about 6(152)  
up from the sill (or the height of the sill panning). See  
figure 15b.  
4. Install rigid sill panning following manufacturer’s in-  
structions. Wrap side flaps to the interior and tack in  
place. Seal the horizontal cut in the air barrier with  
seam seal tape. See figure 15c.  
2. Flip top flap up and tack in place temporarily. Fold sill  
portion to the interior and tack in place. The side  
flaps should be loose until rigid panning is installed.  
See figure 15b.  
5. Apply a continuous bead of sealant 3/4(19) from top  
andsides ofwindow opening(or wherecasing or cas-  
ing flange will contact the structure). Do not apply  
sealant to RO bottom. See figure 15d.  
ATTENTION: Be aware that use of rigid sill pans and  
other barriers will decrease the rough opening height  
clearance. Adjust opening dimensions accordingly.

Removing Interior Stops, Liners and Fillers  
Some structural installations that use the “jamb pinning” method require the removal of interior stops before installing  
the window. This section details the removal of Ultimate Double Hung (UDH) jamb liners and Casemaster operator  
and stationary stops. More detailed information can be found in the Marvin Service Manual.  
Details for UDHM windows can be found in the supplemental instruction sent with the unit.  
Removing Casemaster Stops and Covers

Figure 20: Removing Casemaster stops and covers.  
1. Sill and head jamb covers and stops are held in place  
withavinylbarbandcanbeeasilyremovedbysimply  
and carefully prying up on the stop with a sharp putty  
knife. Be carefulnotto damage the stop or frame. Oc-  
casionally the barb will stay in the frame when you re-  
move the stop. Remove the barb with a pair of pliers  
and reinsert into the kerf on the stop/cover. See fig-  
ure 20a.  
2. Operator jamb covers are held in place by two barbs:  
one on the interior side and one on the exterior side  
shared by the frame weather strip. With the sash  
opened or removed, first pull the frame weather strip  
out of the kerf and set aside for reuse later.  
3. Remove the sill and head jamb stops.  
4. With a sharp putty knife, carefully pry on the interior  
side between the stop and the frame. Startatone end  
and work your way down until stop loosens. See fig-  
ure 20b.  
NOTE: Stationary jamb stops are removed in the same  
fashion. You will need to remove the head jamb and sill  
covers first.

1. Remove the head jamb parting stop with use of a pry  
bar. See figure 21a.  
3. From the exterior, pry out the jamb hardware assem-  
bly using a pry bar by placing it into the bottom filler  
channel, hooking it into the notches on the side, and  
levering it out. See figure 21c.  
2. Use a flatheaded tool with a 90 degree elbow to re-  
move the lower fillers from the jamb hardware assem-  
bly. This is best done by placing the tool into the space  
opened by the removed checkrail pad. Loosen both  
corners of the jamb fillers from the notches before try-  
ing to remove them, to reduce the possibility of damage  
to the fillers. See figure 21b. Be sure to take care when  
doing so, as there is a possibility of the fillers breaking.  
4. When installation of the unit is complete, seat the  
jamb assembly facing towards the exterior first, and  
ease the remainder of the assembly into the jamb  
pocket. See figures 21d and 21e. Use of a rubber  
mallet may be required. If so, take the mallet and,  
starting at one end, work your way up the filler, until  
fully seated. (Use of a cloth to protect the wood and  
keep it clear from direct impact while hammering is  
suggested.)  
5. Reinstall the checkrail pads and head jamb part stop.
