ush with the edges
of the rough opening.
2. At the head, slit
building wrap 6" at
45°. Tape up as shown.
3. Apply spray adhesive/
primer to the sill pan
and surrounding area.
Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for
application methods.
4. Cut a piece of self
adhesive ashing the
length of the sill and
apply over the sill
pan as shown. The

of ashing to the
inside corners.
Stretch ashing
as needed to cover
corners and lay at.
6. Smooth gaps or
bubbles beneath self-
