Installation Instructions

Step 1 Measure the length and width of each window. Subtract 1/2" from the width measurement and 1/4" from the height measurement. Record the measurements in this measurement chart.

Step 2 Cut the plywood covers for each window. Some hardware stores will cut the plywood for you. Use good quality (CDX or better) 3/4" plywood. Plywood comes in 4' x 8' sheets. Windows bigger than 48" x 48" will require 2 or more sections of plywood. Each section can be hung independently (more clips) or they can be spliced together (more work). The recorded height should be the measured height from top to bottom of the casing minus 1/4". The recorded width should be the measured width from side to side of the casing minus 1/4". This will give 1/8" clearance all the way around. Cut 1/2" plywood to the recorded size of each window. Mark each cut piece with its label, such as FF1, the window at the left front of the house on the first floor. If you keep the chart and label the plywood covers, you won't need to label the casings. Place the Plylox clips on each plywood cover (if the window is 24"x24" or smaller, only two Plylox clips are needed).

Step 3 Slide the Plylox clips on to opposing edges of the plywood cover.Each clip should be placed on the edge of the plywood cover no more than 24 inches apart. Make sure the tension legs are facing towards you. Push the plywood covers with the Plylox tension legs to the outside firmly into the casing. The average window requires 4 clips. Space the clips no more than 36" apart. The thickness of plywood varies with humidity. This will cause the clip to fit differently from time to time. If the fit is loose, tap on the clip with a hammer to close the opening. If the fit is tight, then force the clip on by tapping the clip on with a hammer. Plylox works as well in round windows as they do in rectangular windows. You can adjust the number of Plylox clips used to account for different shapes and sizes of windows.

Step 4 Using an Allen Wrench, extend the set screws on all the clips on one side of the plywood cover 1/4". On the opposite side of the plywood cover make sure the set screws are flush on the clips. Insert the plywood cover into the aluminum window casing until the clip touches the frame.Using a 5/32 allen wrench, firmly tighten the flush set screws. Then tighten the set screws on the opposite side at least 1/2 turn.

Step 5 Removing Plylox is easy! You can remove Plylox clips quickly and easily. Use the allen wrench and loosen the set screws. This releases the Plylox clip and the plywood is easily removed. The Plylox clips can then be stored and reused the next time you are threatened.
