INSTALLING NAILER TUBES AROUND WINDOW FRAME

The front face of the window frames must be framed out to be flush with the flat surfaces of the hat channel. This will be

accomplished by framing the window with 1 1/2” square nailer tubes. The horizontal nailer tubes for the top and bottom of

the window frame are the window width plus 4” with pre-drilled mounting holes. The vertical nailer tubes are height of the

vertical window frame with pre-drilled mounting holes.

Install the bottom tube first flush with the top of the bottom window frame tube and centered on the frame. Install the verti-

cal nailer tubes flush with the insides of the window frame and the top tube cantered and flush with the bottom of the top

window frame tube. See illustration. Use #13 x 2” pan head, self-drilling, square drive screws to fasten the nailer tubes to

the window frame. The screws are included if you purchased a window kit.

If a run of hat channel crosses the window opening you will have to measure, mark and remove the hat channel. Cut the

piece out that crossed the window and reinstall the hat channel. The ends of the hat channel will butt up to the 1 1/2”

nailer tubes. Attach the ends of the hat channel to the window frame and side post.
