The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend
SureSill
™
Sloped Sill Pan
™
available from SureSill at www.suresill.
com, building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations or
fabricate a sill pan on site. If installing a SureSill
™
sill pan, follow SureSill’s
instructions for installation and skip to section 4 “PREPARE BUCK“,
or to section 5, “PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL“ as it applies
to your situation. If fabricating a sill pan on the job site, follow the
instructionsbelow.
Jobsite Fabricated Sill Pan
1. Cut a piece of sheet
material to the
lengthshown.
2. Lightly crease folding lines
1/2" in from the two short
sides and one longside.
3. Measure the width of the
sill (5 5/8") and add9/16".
NOTE: If jamb extension
has been applied to the
frame it may need to be
modied in a manner to
allow for a sill pan to make
contact with the interior
part of the sill.
4. Take this distance from the
back edge and lightly crease
a folding line across the sheet material.
5. For step-down landings, cut 1/2" in at this line on both sides of the
sheetmaterial.
6. For continuous slab, cut
across the foldingline.
7. Fold the three back sides up
to make a 3-sided box, and
for step-down landings, fold
the front ap down.
Install Sill Pan
1. Set the sill pan in the rough
opening, aligning the
front edge (for continuous
slab) or folded down
edge (for step-down)
with the exterior of the
roughopening.
2. Mark a line across the front
and back of the sillpan.
Remove sill pan from
opening and set aside.
3. Apply three 3/8" beads of
sealant between the lines.
4. Place the sill pan in the
rough opening. Firmly press
the sill pan into the sealant
with a J-roller.

PREPARE BUCK

NOTE: This section applies to installations into a buck only.
For installations into a stud-framed wall, begin with section 5,
“PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL.”
1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck and
the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head and
jambs (apply over sill pan if installing a job site fabricated sill pan) with
liquid applied or self-adhered ashing. If using self-adhered ashing,
follow manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate use of primers and
other application methods.
