End of Stud-Framed Wall Instructions, continue with section 6,
“INSTALL DOOR.”
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
After removing the old door, remove sufcient siding to expose at least
9" of intact building wrap. If damaged, apply new building wrap in a
shiplap manner. Verify header and trimmer studs are structurally sound.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP
Verify these steps are allowed by the building wrap manufacturer.
1. Trim building
wrap ush with
the edges of the
roughopening.
2. If installing a drip
cap, (recommended
because this
integrates the
building wrap and
drip cap to protect
the structure and
the product from
incidental water)
at the head, slit
building wrap 6"
at 45°. Tape up
asshown.
3. Trim the sides
sufciently to allow
the nailing n to be
mounted against
thesheathing.
4. Apply spray adhesive/
primer to the sill
pan and surrounding area. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
application methods.
5. Cut a piece of self-adhered ashing the length of the sill and apply
over the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should be
completely covered by the self-adhered ashing. For step-down
landings, fold ashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim
ush with rough opening.
