INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Vinyl Patio Doors without Nailing Fin (JII015)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION & GLOSSARY
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.
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 to the weather barrier
(typically building wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain
incidental storm water from under the patio door.
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 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.
