2017 FBC - Residential, 6th edition > 6 Wall Construction > R609 Exterior Windows and Doors > R609.7 Anchorage Methods > R609.7.2 Anchorage Details > R609.7.2.1 Masonry, Concrete or Other Structural Substrate
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Where the wood shim or buck thickness is less than 11/2 inches (38 mm), window and glass door assemblies shall be anchored through the jamb, or by jamb clip and anchors shall be embedded directly into the masonry, concrete or other substantial substrate material. Anchors shall adequately transfer load from the window or door frame into the rough opening substrate [see Figures R609.7.2(1) and R6097.2(2)].

Where the wood shim or buck thickness is 11/2 inches (38 mm) or more, the buck is securely fastened to the masonry, concrete or other substantial substrate, and the buck extends beyond the interior face of the window or door frame, window and glass door assemblies shall be anchored through the jamb, or by jamb clip, or through the flange to the secured wood buck. Anchors shall be embedded into the secured wood buck to adequately transfer load from the window or door frame assembly [see Figures R609.7.2(3), R6097.2(4) and R609.7.2(5)].
