FENESTRATION INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

An installation assembly includes an installation member for use along a rough opening frame. The installation member includes a locking ridge. A fenestration interface is provided for use along a fenestration unit. The fenestration interface includes a fenestration anchor near the first end. The fenestration interface is movable within the rough opening frame from an unlocked configuration to a locked installed configuration. In the unlocked configuration the fenestration anchor slides over the locking ridge as the fenestration unit with the fenestration interface is seated within the rough opening frame. In the locked installed configuration the fenestration anchor slides off the locking ridge and the locking ridge is in an intercepting position relative to the fenestration anchor to fix the fenestration interface and the fenestration unit within the rough opening frame.

主权项

1. An installation assembly for use with fenestration units and rough opening frames in buildings, the installation assembly comprising:
an installation member along an inner perimeter of a rough opening frame, the installation member includes a locking ridge extending from the installation member; a fenestration interface along an outer perimeter of a fenestration unit, the fenestration interface includes an installation ramp tapering from a first end to a second end of the installation ramp and a fenestration anchor near the first end of the installation ramp; and wherein the fenestration interface is movable within the rough opening frame from an unlocked configuration to a locked installed configuration:
in the unlocked configuration the installation ramp slides over the locking ridge as the fenestration unit with the fenestration interface is seated within the rough opening frame, andin the locked installed configuration the installation ramp slides off the locking ridge and the locking ridge is in an intercepting position relative to the fenestration anchor to fix the fenestration interface and the fenestration unit within the rough opening frame.
