INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Wood Patio Doors without Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII027)
5
APPLY DRIP CAP
1. With the exterior
face up, apply a
1/4" bead of silicone
across the header as
shown.
2. Center the drip cap
on the header and
mechanically fasten
with appropriately
sized nails or screws.
Be sure the fastener
does not completely
penetrate the frame
header.
6. Cut two pieces
of self-adhesive
flashing 6" wide by
the sill pan width +
3" long.
a. For continuous
slab landings
only, cut out
the inside
corner.
b. Adhere the
pieces of
flashing to the
exterior corners.
Stretch flashing
as needed to
cover corners
and lay flat.
7. Smooth gaps or
bubbles beneath
self-adhesive
flashing with a
J-roller (remove
and replace if
necessary).
8. Seal back corners of
sill pan with sealant.
9. For step-down
landings only, cut
plastic drain screen
to length of sill +
2" and staple 1/2"
below sill edge. The drain screen provides a path for air to dry any
incidental moisture in the rough opening.
End of Stud-Framed Wall Instructions continue with section 7 “PREPARE
PATIO DOOR.”
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
After removing the old patio door, remove sufficient siding to expose at
least 9" of intact building wrap. If damaged, apply new building wrap
in a shiplap manner. Verify header and trimmer studs are structurally
sound.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP
Verify these steps do
not void the building
wrap manufacturer’s
warranty.
1. Trim building wrap
flush with the
edges of the rough
opening.
2. At the head, slit
building wrap 6"
at 45°. Tape up as
shown.
3. Trim the sides
sufficiently to allow
the nailing fin to be
mounted against
the sheathing.
4. Apply spray
adhesive/primer
to the sill pan
and surrounding
area. Follow
manufacturer’s
instructions
for application
methods.
5. Cut a piece of self-adhesive flashing the length of the sill and apply
over the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should be
completely covered by the self-adhesive flashing. For step down
landings, fold flashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim
flush with rough opening.
