Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are

JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for Wood Patio

Doors without Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin. 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 certication. For information on specic products, visit www.

oridabuilding.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 ofcial 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 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.

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
