The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend
SureSill™ Sloped Sill Pan™ available from SureSill at www.suresill.com,
building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations or fabricate a
sill pan on site.
Note! Sills wider than 7" will not allow a pre-formed
sill pan to be used, follow the instructions for the job site fabricated
sill pan instead. If installing a SureSill™ sill pan, follow SureSill™'s
instructions for installation and skip to section 4 “PREPARE BUCK“, or to
section 5, “PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL“ as it applies to your situation.
If fabricating a sill pan on the job site, follow the instructions below.
JOBSITE FABRICATED SILL PAN
1. Cut a piece of sheet
material to the
length shown.
2. Lightly crease folding
lines 1/2" in from the
two short sides and
one long side.
3. Measure the width
of the frame and
add 9/16".
4. Take this distance
from the back edge
and lightly crease a
folding line across
the sheet material.
5. For step-down
landings, cut 1/2" in
at this line on both
sides of the sheet
material.
6. For continuous slab, cut across the folding line.
7. Fold the three back
sides up to make a
3-sided box, and,
for step-down
landings, fold the
front flap down.
INSTALL SILL PAN
1. Set the sill pan
in the rough
opening, aligning
the front edge (for
continuous slab) or
folded down edge
(for step down)
with the exterior of
the rough opening.
2. Mark a line across
the front and back
of the sill pan.
3. Apply three 3/8"
beads of sealant
between the lines.
4. Place the sill pan in
the rough opening.
Firmly press the sill
pan into the sealant
with a J-roller.

PREPARE BUCK
Note! This section applies to installations into a buck only. For
installations into a stud-framed wall, begin with section 5, “PREPARE
STUD-FRAMED WALL.”
1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck
and the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head
and jambs (apply over sill pan if installing a job site fabricated sill
pan) with liquid applied flashing per manufacture's instructions as
shown.
END of Buck Instructions, SKIP to section 6, “INSTALL DOOR.”
