Installation Instructions
for Vinyl Patio Doors with Integral Nailing Fin (JII006)
4
JELD-WEN exterior window and door products should be installed in
accordance with JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions,
which are printed on the product label or can be found on our
website: www.jeld-wen.com. NOTE: When using ashing, spray
adhesive/primer, sealant and foam products, we recommend
using the same manufacturer and verifying compatibility. It is the
End User’s responsibility to determine if dissimilar materials are
compatible with the substrates in the application.
• Sealant: An exterior grade sealant (e.g., OSI
®
QUAD
®
Max or equivalent)
is recommended for installation practices. Check with sealant
manufacturer for color-match options and paintability.
• Polyurethane Low-Expansion Window and Door Foam: A low-
expansion, polyurethane window and door foam (e.g., OSI
®
QUAD
®
Foam or equivalent) is recommended from installation practices. Avoid
using moderate to high-expansion foam products as operational issues
or damage may occur.
• Backer rod: 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead for interior air seal).
• Non-compressible or non-water degradable shims.
• Drip cap (if not supplied).
Potential Needed Tools
• Utility knife/shears
• Hacksaw (SureSill
™
sill pan)
or Cutting shears (fabricated
sill pan)
• J-roller
• Tape measure
• Caulking gun
• Level (4' minimum recommended)
• Drill with bits
• 5-in-1 Putty Knife
• #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
Remove Packaging
• Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks,
shrink wrap or pads. If there is a protective lm on the glass, DO NOT
remove it until installation and construction are complete.
• DO NOT remove the installation label until after the inspection of the
job is complete.
Inspect Patio Door
• Cosmetic damage and/or shipping damage.
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements not more than
1/4" different).
• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energy-
efciency requirements, etc.).
• Frame and panel damage.
• Manufacturing abnormalities (e.g. warp, bow and squareness).
• Splits, cracks, holes, missing sections or other damage to the nailing n
longer than 6" and/or within 1/2" of the patio door frame.
If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect
environmental conditions to exceed the patio door’s performance rating,
DO NOT install the patio door. Contact your dealer or distributor for
recommendations.
Reverse Patio Door Handing
Only pre-installed 6' 8" and 6' 10" Builders sliding patio doors
without blinds between the glass that have weep holes on the top and
bottom are reversible and specially designed to be converted to be opened
either from the left or the right. Certain grid/bar patterns are not
reversible. Patio doors that are set up for left-hand operation (door opens
from the left on the exterior) or vice versa, can be converted to open from
the opposite side by following the instructions in our document SVC001,
available at www.jeld-wen.com. DO NOT install the patio door
until after completion of the reversing instructions and the
xed panel is on the desired side.
Provided Materials
• 4- #10 x 2 1/2" screws (to secure the strike plate, two-panel units only).
Needed Materials
• #8 pan-head or washer-head, corrosion-resistant screw. Minimum
embedment of 1 1/4" into the structural framing (or as required by
localcode).
• Sill pan: A pan ashing system (as dened in ASTM E-2112) is required
at the sill prior to window/door product installation. A sill pan should
have a positive slope, must be installed onto the sill of the R.O. in a
weather-tight manner and tied into the drainage plane of the building
envelope. For sill pans without a positive slope, place a 3/16"-1/4" tall
plastic shim 2" from each corner and no more than 8" on-center in
between (excludes Canada and potentially large door systems). If an
aftermarket sill pan (i.e., SureSill
™
) is preferred, then we suggest the
Manufacturer’s instructions be followed.
