Any advice for using Andersen 'jamb clips' for new-build windows?

13 years ago

We have a 1950's masonry house in Maine and we're replacing the windows. We're removing the old frames/bucks and want to maximize the RO. Andersen suggested using their jamb clips and simply setting them into the masonry opening. Sounds great- easy and straightforward. Is there anything I should know? Any tips or tricks or things to watch out for? (These are 400 series tilt wash double-hungs.)

Thank you!
