JELD-WEN JII015 Vinyl Patio Doors without Nailing Fin - Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Vinyl Patio Doors without Nailing Fin (JII015)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY
Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water tightness in
buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure inside the home, which
can draw water through very small openings. Our installation method seals the
patio door in a weather-tight manner and uses a sill pan to capture and drain
incidental storm water from under the patio door.
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for vinyl patio
doors without nailing fin, including flush fin. Read these instructions
thoroughly before beginning. They are designed to work in most
existing applications, however; existing conditions may require
changes to these instructions. If changes are needed, they are made
at the installer's risk. For installations other than indicated in these
instructions, contact a building professional. Areas such as Florida
and the Texas TDI region have different anchoring requirements
based on product certification. For information on specific products,
visit www.floridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow the
anchoring schedule given in the drawings for the product instead of
the anchoring schedule in this document.

Not all patio door types may be installed into every wall condition in all
areas. Consult your local building code official for applicable building
codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede
recommended installation instructions.
Please Note! Any patio door installation where the sill is higher than
35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specifically
addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer. Failure to install square, level and plumb and on a
flat surface (without twist or warp) could result in denial of warranty
claims for operational or performance problems.
Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building
owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and
conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.
GLOSSARY
Backer Rod (backing material)
A material (e.g. foam rod), placed into a joint primarily to control the
depth of the sealant.
Buck
A wood framework attached to the masonry inside a window or patio
door rough opening.
Continuous Air Seal
Backer rod and sealant or low expansion foam applied to the interior
gap between the product and the building in a continuous fashion
used to block air flow between the interior and exterior of the
building envelope.
Pilot Hole
A drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus
the threads).
Score
Make a cut mark in the same location multiple times.
Shiplap
The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so
that water runs down the outside.
Sill Pan
A flashing component installed in the sill of the rough opening
underneath the door. Sill pans have upturned walls along the interior
edge and at both ends, creating a three sided box. This component
serves as a collection device to drain incidental water to the exterior of
the building and should be properly sealed to the opening. The best sill
pan design has a positive slope to the exterior and offers continuous
support to the door’s sill.
Weep Hole (weep channel)
The visible exit or entry part of a water drainage system used to drain
water out of a door frame.
LANDINGS
These instructions
cover two patio door
sill conditions: the
step-down landing
and the continuous
slab landing . The
installation methods
vary slightly between
landing types.
REVERSE PATIO DOOR HANDING
Only pre-installed 6'8" and 6'10" Builders sliding patio doors without
blinds between the glass that have weep holes on the top and bottom
are reversible (specially designed to be converted to be opened either
from the left or the right). Patio doors that are set up for left hand
operation (door opens from the left on the exterior) or vice versa, can be
converted to open from the opposite side by following the instructions
in our document SVC001, available at www.jeld-wen.com. Do not
install the patio door until after completion of the reversing
instructions and the fixed panel is on the desired side. Please
contact us with questions:
