1. Cut housewrap as shown in (FIGURES 1 & 2).
2. Fold housewrap back and tape out of the way
(FIGURE 2). Bare sheathing must be exposed.
3. Apply a continuous, generous bead of silicone
sealant along head and vertical sides of rough
opening perimeter. Locate sealant so it does
not intrude into the rough opening and will also
provide a continuous seal between sheathing
and nailing fin or brickmould as well as door sill
(FIGURE 3).
Improper use of hand and power tools could
result in personal injury and/or product damage.
Follow equipment manufacturers’ instructions for
safe operation. Always wear safety glasses.
If your structure does not have housewrap, or
you do not need to maintain DP Ratings,
turn to installation pages that match your unit.
