7. Fold the three back
sides up to make a
3-sided box, and, for
step-down landings,
fold the front ap
down.
INSTALL SILL PAN
1. Set the sill pan in
the rough opening,
aligning the front
edge (for continuous
slab) or folded down
edge (for step down)
with the exterior of
the rough opening.
2. Mark a line across
the front and back of
the sill pan.
3. Apply three 3/8"
beads of sealant
between the lines.
4. Place the sill pan in
the rough opening.
Firmly press the sill
pan into the sealant
with a J-roller.
The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend
SureSill™ Sloped Sill Pan™ available from SureSill at www.suresill.
com, building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations. As an
alternative, a sill pan can be fabricated on site. If installing a SureSill™
sill pan, follow SureSill™'s instructions for installation and skip to
section 4 “PREPARE BUCK“, or to section 5, “PREPARE STUD-FRAMED
WALL“ as it applies to your situation. If fabricating a sill pan on the job
site, follow the instructions below.
JOBSITE FABRICATED SILL PAN
1. Cut a piece of sheet
material to the
length shown.
2. Lightly crease folding
lines 1/2" in from the
two short sides and
one long side.
3. Measure the width
of the frame and add
9/16".
4. Take this distance
from the back edge
and lightly crease a
folding line across
the sheet material.
5. For step-down
landings, cut 1/2" in
at this line on both
sides of the sheet
material.
6. For continuous slab, cut across the folding line.

PREPARE BUCK
Note! This section applies to installations into a buck only. For
installations into a stud-framed wall, begin with section 5, “PREPARE
STUD-FRAMED WALL.”
1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck
and the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head
and jambs (apply over sill pan if installing a job site fabricated sill
pan) with liquid applied ashing per manufacture's instructions as
shown.
