and the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head

PREPARE STUD - FRAMED WALL
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
Completely remove the old door unit. Verify rough opening is structurally
sound and header is able to carry the combined weight of all the panels.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP
Verify these steps are allowed by the building wrap manufacturer.
1. Trim building wrap flush with the edges of the rough opening.
2. If installing a drip
cap, (recommended
because this
integrates the
building wrap and
drip cap to protect
the structure and
the product from
incidental water)
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.
3. Apply spray adhesive/
primer to the sill pan
and surrounding
area. Follow
manufacturer’s
instructions for
application methods.
4. 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.
