JELD-WEN JII027 Wood Patio Doors without Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin - Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Wood Patio Doors without Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII027)
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.
Please allow sufficient time to properly prepare the rough opening,
install the patio door, and ensure its proper operation.
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 to the weather barrier
(typically building wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain
incidental water from under the patio door.
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for wood patio
doors without exterior trim or nailing 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.
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.
