INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Vinyl Patio Doors with Integral Nailing Fin (JII006)

LANDINGS

These instructions

cover two patio door

sill conditions: the

step-down landing

and the continuous

slab landing. The

installation methods

vary slightly between

landing types.

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water tightness

in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure inside the home,

which can draw water through very small openings. Our installation method

seals the patio door to the weather barrier (typically building wrap) and uses a

sill pan to capture and drain incidental storm water from under the patio door.

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s

recommended installation instructions for Vinyl Patio Doors with nailing

n. Any local building code requirements supersede the recommended

installation instructions. Read these instructions thoroughly before

beginning. They are designed to work in most existing applications

however; existing conditions may require changes to these instructions. If

changes are needed, they are made at the installer’s risk. For installations

other than indicated in these instructions, contact a building professional.

Please Note! Any patio door installation such that the sill is higher than

35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specically

addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or

structural engineer. Failure to install square, level and plumb and

on a at surface (without peak and valleys) could result in denial of

warranty claims for operational or performance problems.

Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building

owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and

conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.

GLOSSARY

OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION

The wall framing

needs to be covered

by backing support

before the patio door

can be installed. The

door will be mounted

with the nailing n

ush against the

applied backing

support.

This backing support should be a non water-degradable, thin (max. 1/8"

thick) sheet material such as vinyl sheeting. Completely surround the

rough opening with the backing support as shown. Backing support

must be applied before building wrap.

This installation guide specically addresses sheathed wall and open-

stud construction.

FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUCTION

The wall framing is

covered by sheathing

and the door will

be mounted with

the nailing n ush

against the sheathing.
