MATERIALS AND TOOLS
Needed Materials
NOTE: JELD-WEN exterior window and door products should be
installed in accordance with JELD-WEN’s recommended installation
and ashing directions, which are shipped with the products or can
be found on our website: www.jeld-wen.com. Note that alternative
installation methods and ashing systems may be utilized at
the installer’s or owner’s discretion and, in such situations, the
installation should be done in accordance with the ashing
manufacturer’s instructions. Follow all material manufacturer’s
instructions for proper use and compatibility. 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.
• 3/16" masonry screws (such as Tapcon
®
) for sill installation onto
concrete. Screws must penetrate at least 1 1/2" into the substrate.
• Non-compressible or non-water degradable shims.
• Sill pan: It is best practice to use a pre-formed, rigid, positively sloped,
pvc pan that provides continuous support. We recommend using
SureSill
™
Sloped Sill Pan
™
, manufactured by SureSill
™
, Ltd. An alternative
would be a non-sloped pre-formed sill pan or one can be fabricated on
site from metal or vinyl sheet material with the propertools.
• Sealant: We recommend OSI
®
QUAD
®
Max Sealant or equivalent. This
can be used in any application and can be painted or ordered in a color
matched product if desired.
• Backer rod 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead).
• Polyurethane low expansion window and door foam: We recommend
OSI
®
QUAD
®
Foam or equivalent.
Needed Tools

• Utility knife
• Level (3' and 6' recommended)
• J-roller
• Caulking gun
• Vacuum for removing debris from
sill track
• Drill and Impact driver (optional)
with bits
• Screwdrivers: #2 Phillips head,
#3Phillips head and a small at
head screwdriver (3/32")

self-adhered ashing: We recommend OSI
®
QUAD
®
Butyl Flash Tape
orequivalent.
• Spray adhesive/primer for self-adhered ashing. Such as Loctite
®
300 or
equivalent. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for applicationmethods.
• Drip cap if required because of door location and exposure. Doors
with an adequate overhang (see our Appropriate Protection document
(JGI030) at www.jeld-wen.com) may not need a drip cap. In addition to
sill pans, SureSill
™
also offers types of head ashing.
FOR INSTALLATIONS INTO A BUCK:
• Liquid applied ashing (e.g. Protecto Wrap LWM 200, OSI

Remove Packaging
Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks
or pads.
Inspect Door
• Cosmetic damage.
• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing,
energy-efciency requirements, etc.).
If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect
environmental conditions to exceed the door’s performance rating, do not
install the door. Contact your dealer or distributor forrecommendations.
INSPECT ROUGH OPENING
2
• Verify the rough opening is plumb and level (C, E and D). The maximum
allowable deviation is 1/16" for every 2' of rough opening (not to
exceed1/8").
• The rough opening sill MUST be level (D).
• The exterior face of the rough opening must be in a single plane (E)
with less than 1/8" twist from corner to corner.
• In wood frame construction, the header must be supported by trimmer
studs and designed to ensure that no load is transferred to patio
doorunit.
• Correct any deviations before installing the patio door. Consult a
building professional as needed.
• Verify the rough opening is clean and dry.
Please evaluate the condition of the rough opening prior to
installing the door. The procedures mentioned below are required
to ensure proper operation and performance of the product.
• Verify the width and height
of the door frame are
each 1/2" - 3/4" smaller
than the rough opening
width/height.
• Verify the rough opening
is square. The (A) and (B)
measurements should
be the same. Maximum
allowable deviation from
square is1/4".
