List and define the four methods described in ASTM E2112 in terms of the sequence and position of flashing and WRB relative to the window, for each.

A: Jamb flashing after/over the mounting flange, WRB applied after the window install
A1: Like A, but with the WRB applied BEFORE the window
B: Jamb flashing before/under the mounting flange, WRB applied after the window install
B1: Jamb flashing before/under the mounting flange, WRB applied before the window install

What is the key distinction between A/B methods and A1/B1 methods per ASTM E2112?

A/B: The WRB is applied AFTER the window is installed.

A1/B1: 1 (First)- The WRB is installed FIRST, before the window.
