Daylight Opening (DLO)

Enter your DLO width and height, then click Calculate.
Formulas used (single-glazed cap system):
Cap Horizontal = DLO − 1/16″ · Cap Vertical = DLO · Pressure Plate (H & V) = DLO − 1/4″ · Adapter Horizontal = DLO + 2 1/2″ · Adapter Vertical = DLO − 1 1/2″ · Back Pan (H & V) = DLO − 1/8″
