Installation Instructions
for Premium
Vinyl Multi-Slide Atlantic Exterior Pocketing Door Systems (V-4500)
(JII-90004)
To avoid damage to the frame corners at least 3
people are required to properly support the door
frame during placement into the opening (two for the
head and one for the sill).
1. Apply a 3/8" bead
of sealant across the
interior wall of the sill
pan (shown) or back
wall of the dap out.
2. For products that
have a nail n, run a
continuous bead of
sealant around the
interior side of the
nail n on the sides
and head. If the bottom nail n will remain on the frame, run a
discontinuous bead of sealant on the interior side of the nail n (e.g.
a 2" gap every 12").
3. With the proper 1/4" spacing within the rough opening, position the
frame, so that the back makes solid contact with the sealant in the sill
pan or dap out. For products that have a nail n, make sure the back
of the nail n makes even contact with the bump out framing.
To avoid injury, use at least 2 people to install.
Support the door frame head track until adequately
fastened.
1. Center the door frame head track in the opening (typically, there will
be a 1/4" gap between the ends of the door frame and the sides of
the opening). For products that have a nail n, run a 3/8" bead of
sealant the full length of the nail n.
2. Initially, support the head track into the opening by partially driving a
fastener at each end of the head track.
NOTE: An additional fastener
should be placed in the middle of larger spanning head tracks.
3. Position the door sill track in front of the opening. Center and
then align the ends of the sill track directly below the ends of the
head track.
4. Install the door frame “sill track” into the nished opening. Make
sure the back of the track makes solid contact with sealant in the sill
pan or back wall of the dap out. For products with a nail n, make
sure the back of the nail n has even contact with the bump out
framing.
5. Level the sill track within the opening (shim as needed).
Refer to Section 7 – "Install Frame Continued – Fastening Frame".
