5XPT SLIDING GLASS DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important! Critical Sealant Joints! Use Extreme Care!
The following joints are crucial for water performance.
12. For good adhesion, properly clean the metal by following the silicone manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning procedures and application. The application of this sealant must be
pushed in as the sealant is gunned in, or tooled in a manner that the sealant will make full
contact with the joint walls and marry together with adjoining sealant. All views for the
sealant will be from the exterior.
Sealant will be applied across the sill, up the fixed jamb, and across the head. All sealant
must be continuous with one another and tooled with no voids. (See Figs 8, 9, 10 and 11)
