30°& 45°Angle Bay Window Assembly

and Installation Guide

for Andersen® 400 Series Tilt-Wash and 200 Series Narroline® Double-Hung Windows

Instructions are for typical, new wood-framed wall construction with weather protection in place.

Instructions may not be right for all installations due to building design, construction materials or methods used and/or building or site

conditions. Consult a contractor or architect for recommendations.

Flanges on the unit alone will not properly ash and seal the window. Follow these instructions carefully.

For questions call 1-888-888-7020 Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. central time.

Please leave this guide with building owner.

Thank you for choosing Andersen.

Use caution when working at elevated

heights and around unit openings. Follow

manufacturers’ instructions for ladders and/or

scaffolding. Failure to do so may result in injury

or death.

Follow manufacturers’ instructions for hand

or power tools. Always wear safety glasses.

Failure to do so may result in injury and/or

product damage.

Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe

lifting techniques and a reasonable number

of people with enough strength to lift, carry

and install window and door products to

avoid injury and/or product damage.

Unless specically ordered, Andersen windows

and doors are not equipped with safety glass,

and if broken, could fragment causing injury.

Many laws and building codes require safety

glass in locations adjacent to or near doors.

Andersen windows are available with safety

glass that may reduce the likelihood of injury

when broken. Information on safety glass is

available from your local Andersen dealer.

• Andersen® Head Flashing and Installation Flanges DO NOT take the place of standard window

and door ashing. Unit must be properly ashed and sealed with sealant for protection

against water and air inltration. Use non-reective ashings. Highly reective ashing tapes

can raise the surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl deformation and product

damage may occur.

• Do not apply any type of lm to glass. Thermal stress conditions resulting in glass damage

could occur.

• Use of movable insulating materials such as window coverings, shutters, and other shading

devices may damage glass and/or vinyl. In addition, excessive condensation may result

causing deterioration of windows and doors.

For Joined Transom & 2-Wide Center Units Only

Installations with Joined Transom and/or 2-Wide

Center Units require the use of additional joining

material to join units. Refer to Combination

Design Section of the Andersen® Product

Guide for Professionals to make sure correct

joining material is used and combination will

appropriately perform and comply with local

building codes. Consult an architect or contractor.

Failure to do so could result in injury and/or

product damage.

Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting

techniques and a reasonable number of people with

enough strength to lift, carry and install window and

door products to avoid injury and/or product

damage.

30° or 45° Bay Window Unit must be supported at

all times when in upright position to prevent tipping.

Failure to do so could result in personal injury and

product damage.

DO NOT overtighten screws. Overtightening screws

will damage screws and/or Joining Posts.

1. Identify Type of Installation

• Most common type of installation.

• Used if rough opening height is smaller than Bay

Unit.

• If window must be raised above previously installed

header to meet sofﬁt or to match line of adjoining

window trim, cut top platform back to clear header

as shown.

• If window is raised install ﬁller blocks at sill plate of

equal dimension to amount raised.

• Unit opening is extended down to ﬂoor line.

• Masonry anchoring required.

Support

System

Knee Braces

• A support system such as a cable support system, post and foundation support, knee braces, and

attachment to header or sofﬁt support must be installed to properly support projecting window units.

Failure to do so could result in product damage and/or incorrect operation of units.

• When a roof or bonnet is built over unit, make sure that adequate support is provided to carry weight of

roof. Failure to do so could result in product damage and/or incorrect operation of units.

• If Custom Bay Unit is being installed, use Cable Support System at every Joining Post. Failure to do so

could result in product damage and/or incorrect operation of units.

• Bay unit is supported by cables attached to header,

gable or eave. Cable Support System allows unit to be

adjusted to overcome difﬁculties associated with

normal building settlement. The Cable Support System

in 9' and 12' versions are available through your

Andersen dealer. See Cable Support System Installation

Guide for proper installation.

• IMPORTANT: If Custom Bay Unit is being installed,

use Cable Support System at every Joining Post.

• Install Cable Support System after Step 7 on Page 16.

• When adequate support cannot be achieved by Cable

Support System or by header or sofﬁt support or

cantilever system, Knee Braces (provided by others)

must be attached to structural member below each

Joining Post.

• Anchor Knee Brace into structural member or install

double cripple below unit and secure braces into them.

• IMPORTANT: If Custom Bay Unit is being installed,

use Cable Support System at every Joining Post.

• Bay unit is supported by cantilevered ﬂoor joist or

attached directly to header/sofﬁt. Projection of

cantilevered ﬂoor joist must not exceed 1/3 of overall

length of support joist.

• Unit is supported by post or foundation of dwelling.

3. Prepare Rough Opening

• Frame rough opening to dimensions recommended at

www.andersenwindows.com or prepare an existing

rough opening. Masonry rough opening must be 1/2"

greater than unit width and height.

• Make sure sill plate is level by checking with a level.

Shim sill plate to level.

• Make sure rough opening is plumb by checking with a

level.

• Make sure rough opening is square by placing tape

measure diagonally across rough opening, upper left to

lower right and upper right to lower left corner, if

measurements are within 1/8", opening is square.

Level

Double Sill Plate

• Determine overall wall thickness (excluding siding) by

measuring wall from outside edge of exterior sheathing

to inside edge of interior wall board.

• Determine interior offset dimension by subtracting 4"

from wall thickness dimension.

4. Determine Wall Thickness and Position of Unit in Wall

• From the interior, use a combination square to transfer

Acid solutions commonly used to wash masonry

will damage glass, fasteners, hardware, and metal

ﬂashings. Follow the cleaning solution

manufacturer's recommendations carefully. Protect

and/or cover Andersen products during cleaning

process to prevent acid contact. If solution does

come in contact with unit immediately wash all

surfaces with clean water.
