INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Vinyl Patio Doors without Nailing Fin (JII015)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY

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 in a weather-tight manner 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 without nailing n, including ush n. 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. Areas such as Florida

and the Texas TDI region have different anchoring requirements

based on product certification. For information on specific products,

visit www.floridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow the

anchoring schedule given in the drawings for the product instead of

the anchoring schedule in this document.

Not all patio door types may be installed into every wall condition in all

areas. Consult your local building code official for applicable building

codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede

recommended installation instructions.

Please Note! Any patio door installation where 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 twist or warp) 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

Backer Rod (backing material)

A material (e.g. foam rod), placed into a joint primarily to control the

depth of the sealant.

Buck

A wood framework attached to the masonry inside a window or patio

door rough opening.

Continuous Air Seal

Backer rod and sealant or low expansion foam applied to the interior

gap between the product and the building in a continuous fashion

used to block air ow between the interior and exterior of the

buildingenvelope.

Pilot Hole

A drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus

thethreads).

Score

Make a cut mark in the same location multiple times.

Shiplap

The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so

that water runs down the outside.

Sill Pan

A ashing component installed in the sill of the rough opening

underneath the door. Sill pans have upturned walls along the interior

edge and at both ends, creating a three sided box. This component

serves as a collection device to drain incidental water to the exterior of

the building and should be properly sealed to the opening. The best sill

pan design has a positive slope to the exterior and offers continuous

support to the door’s sill.

Weep Hole (weep channel)

The visible exit or entry part of a water drainage system used to drain

water out of a door frame.

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.

REVERSE PATIO DOOR HANDING

Only pre-installed 6'8" and 6'10" Builders sliding patio doors without

blinds between the glass that have weep holes on the top and bottom

are reversible (specially designed to be converted to be opened either

from the left or the right). Patio doors that are set up for left hand

operation (door opens from the left on the exterior) or vice versa, can be

converted to open from the opposite side by following the instructions

in our document SVC001, available at www.jeld-wen.com. Do not

install the patio door until after completion of the reversing

instructions and the xed panel is on the desired side. Please

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for Vinyl Patio Doors without Nailing Fin (JII015) 7 COMPLETE INSTALLATION 1. For continuous slab landings, apply a 1/4" bead of sealant around the sill where it meets the slab. Leave 1" gaps at the weep holes as shown. 2.
