STEP 3: PREPARE THE OPENING
On the suboor at opening, place three very large beads of sealant.
Run the beads the full width of the opening.
Use only elastomeric or polyurethane sealant.
Use an entire tube when caulking along the suboor.
STEP 3A: INSTALLATION WITH A SILL PAN
Lay the door unit on edge or face so that the bottom surface of the
sill can be caulked. Place very large beads of caulk across the full
width of the sill. Additionally, place beads of caulk along the junction
of the sill and the jamb and on the bottom surface of the jambs and
brickmould.
Important! Apply sealant to the back side of brickmould around
the entire perimeter of the door unit. A 1/2 – 5/8 inch bead of
elastomeric or polyurethane caulk is essential.
Note: If a sill extender is used, place a large bead of caulk at the
junction of the extender and the sill approach.
STEP 3B: INSTALLATION WITHOUT A SILL PAN
Place the right and left sill pan ends onto the caulk beads and tightly
against the side of the opening.
Then, liberally coat the overlapped areas and the recessed areas of
the pieces with the PVC cement provided. Place center section(s)
in position and hold pieces together long enough to ensure a good
bond.
For added protection, spread a bead of caulk along the glue joints
and to prevent air inltration, run a bead of caulk along the lower
interior edge of the sill pan. Additional caulking could affect the
performance of the sill pan.
DO NOT caulk the bottom of the sill when using a sill pan.
