Assembly and Installation Instructions
for F-2500 Fiberglass Folding Patio Doors (JII-90008)
Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water tightness in
buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure inside the house, which can
draw water through very small openings. Our installation method uses a sill pan
to capture and drain incidental storm water from under the door to the exterior.
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for F-2500 Fiberglass
Folding Patio Doors. Read these instructions thoroughly before
beginning. They are designed to work in most existing applications,
however; existing conditions may require the use of alternative methods
to these instructions. If changes are needed, they are made at the
installer’s risk. For installations other than indicated in these instructions,
contact a building professional. To adequately protect your door, please
refer to “Appropriate Protection for Exterior Doors” for information on
protection requirements at www.jeld-wen.com. Areas such as Florida
and the Texas TDI region have different anchoring requirements based
on product certication. For information on specic products, visit
www.floridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow the
anchoring schedule given in the drawings for the product instead of
