          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until the substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
 
          B.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION OF WATER-RESISTIVE BARRIER
 
          A.Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved submittals, and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
 
          B.Install building wrap over the exterior surface of the exteriors sheathing in accordance with current manufacturer's installation recommendations.
 
          C.Installation of the building wrap shall begin approximately 12 to 24 inches (305 to 610 mm) from a corner of the structure with the printed side facing out. Secure the starting vertical edge with fasteners spaced at 6 inches (152 mm) on center.
 
          D.Unroll the building wrap horizontally along the lower portion of the exterior wall. The lower edge of the building wrap roll should extend over the sill plate interface 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm). Fasten the building wrap 8 inches (203 mm) on center along the top and bottom plates and at vertical 24 inch (610 mm) intervals at each framing member. Increase the fastener frequency to 8 inch (203 mm) intervals around window and door openings. Fasteners shall be seated flush with the building wrap and not over-driven.
 
          E.Seams and joints in the building wrap may optionally have a compatible sheathing tape applied and centered over the seam. Shingle the building wrap over the back edge of through-wall flashing to divert water to exterior surface of the wall assembly. Ensure that weeps are not blocked or obstructed.
 
          F.Extend the building wrap over window and door openings. Cut a modified "I" pattern through the window and door openings. Fold excess material into rough opening and secure in place with fasteners. If windows and doors are already in place, cut building wrap as close as possible to the rough opening and follow flashing manufacturer's instructions for window and door flashing details.
 
          G.Subsequent courses of building wrap should be overlapped shingle fashion (in water shedding fashion) a minimum of 2 inches (51 mm).
 
          3.4INSTALLATION OF FLASHING PRIOR TO WINDOWS AND DOORS
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Flashing manufacturer recommends weather barrier be installed before the installation of the windows. USE these opening preparation and flashing articles for flashing non-flanged windows when they will be installed after the installation of a weather barrier. For a Detailed Installation Guide refer to the website: www.nationalshetler.com
 
          A.Non-Flanged Windows; All Cladding Types:
          1.Flush cut water-resistive barrier at edge of sheathing around full perimeter of opening.
          2.Cut a head flap at 45 degree angle in the water-resistive barrier at window head to expose 8 inches (203 mm) of sheathing. Temporarily secure water-resistive barrier flaps away from sheathing with tape.
          3.Flashing:

          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Manufacturer recommends weather barrier be installed before the installation of the windows. use these opening preparation and flashing articles for flashing flanged windows when they will be installed after the installation of a weather barrier.
 
          B.Flanged Windows Installed After Water-Resistive Barrier:
          1.Cut weather barrier in an "I-cut" pattern. A modified I-cut is also acceptable.
          a.Cut water-resistive barrier horizontally along bottom and top of window opening.
          b.From the top center of the window opening, cut weather barrier vertically down to the sill.
          c.Fold side and bottom water-resistive barrier flaps into window opening and fasten.
          2.Cut a head flap at 45-degree angle in water-resistive barrier membrane at window head to expose 8 inches (203 mm) of sheathing. Temporarily secure water-resistive barrier flap away from sheathing with tape.
          3.Flashing:
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** National Shelter Products recommends the use of the 6 inch () wide Dryline ATX Flex Flashing with 2 by 4 framing and 9 inch wide Dryline ATX Flex Flashing with 2 by 6 framing.
          a.Cut 6 or 9 inch (152 or 229 mm) wide DRYline ATX Flex Flashing a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) longer than width of sill rough opening.
          b.Cover horizontal sill by aligning DRYline ATX Flex Flashing edge with inside edge of sill. Adhere to rough opening across sill and up jambs a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm). Secure flashing tightly into corners by working in along the sill before adhering up the jambs.
          c.Fan DRYline ATX Flex Flashing at bottom corners onto face of wall. Firmly press in place. Mechanically fasten fanned edges. Mechanical fastening is not required for DRYline ATX Flex Flashing.
          d.On exterior, apply continuous bead of sealant to wall or backside of window mounting flange across jambs and head. Do not apply sealant across sill.
          e.Install window according to manufacturer's instructions.
          f.Apply 4 inch (102 mm) wide strips of DRYline ATX Straight Flashing at jambs overlapping entire mounting flange. Extend jamb flashing 1 inch (25 mm) above top of rough opening and below bottom edge of sill flashing.
          g.Apply 4 inch (102 mm) wide strip of DRYline ATX Straight Flashing as head flashing overlapping the mounting flange. Head flashing should extend beyond the outside edges of both jamb flashings.
          h.Position water-resistive barrier head flap across head flashing. Adhere using 4 inch (102 mm) wide DRYline ATX Straight Flashing over the 45 degree seams.
          i.Tape head flap in accordance with manufacturer recommendations
          j.On interior, install backer rod in joint between frame of window and flashed rough framing. Apply sealant around the entire window to create air seal. Apply sealant in accordance with sealant manufacturer's instructions and ASTM C1193.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** When project conditions dictate that weather barrier will be installed after the windows and doors have been installed, use the following Flashing Article.
 
          3.5INSTALLATION OF FLASHING AFTER WINDOWS AND DOORS
 
          A.For flanged windows installed before water-resistive barrier.
          1.Flashing:
          a.Attach water-resistive barrier apron under sill. Extend apron a minimum of 10 inches (254 mm) beyond sides of rough opening, and below the rough opening to overlap the sill plate or the weather barrier below. Securely attach sides of apron to wall, leaving bottom free to overlap later weather barrier installation.
          b.Cut DRYline ATX Flex Flashing a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) longer than width of sill rough opening.
          c.Cover horizontal sill by aligning DRYline Flex Flashing edge with inside edge of sill. Adhere to rough opening across sill and up jambs a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm).
          d.Fan DRYline ATX Flex Flashing at bottom corners onto face of wall. Firmly press in place. Mechanically fasten fanned edges. Mechanical fastening is not required for DRYline ATX Flex Flashing.
          e.On exterior, apply continuous bead of sealant to wall or backside of window mounting flange across jambs and head. Do not apply sealant across the sill.
          f.Coordinate with window installation.
          g.Complete Flashing after Installation of Windows and Doors:
          1)Apply 4 inch (102 mm) wide strips of DRYline ATX Straight Flashing at jambs overlapping entire mounting flange. Extend jamb flashing 1 inch (25 mm) above top of rough opening and below bottom edge of sill flashing.
