Instructions / Assembly

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: 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.
• Polyurethane Low-Expansion Window and Door Foam: A low-
expansion, polyurethane window and door foam (e.g., OSI
®
QUAD
®
Foam or equivalent) is recommended for installation practices. Avoid
using moderate to high-expansion foam products as operational issues
or damage may occur.
• Spray adhesive/primer for self-adhered ashing. Such as Loctite
®
300 or equivalent. Follow the 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 Flashing (e.g., Protecto Wrap LWM 200 or OSI
®
QUAD
®
Flash).
FOR INSTALLATIONS INTO BRICK VENEER:
• Rigid Flashing.
Provided Materials
• #10 x 2 1/2" at-head screws (through-frame installation).
Needed Tools
• Tape measure
• J-roller
• Caulking gun
• Vacuum for removing debris from
sill track
• Drill and Impact driver with bits
• Utility knife
• Levels (3' and 6' recommended)
• Screwdrivers: #2 phillips head,
#3phillips head and a small at-
head screwdriver (3/32")
• 6" Drill bit extension - #2 phillips
or #2 square
• 14 mm open-end wrench (slab
adjustment only)
• Step ladder (2)
• Bar clamps
• Wood block (for slab support)
INSPECT PRODUCT
1
If slabs need to be removed prior to installation,
reference Section 9: Slab Removal and Installation
Remove Packaging
• If there is a protective lm on the glass, DO NOT remove it until
installation and construction are complete.
• DO NOT remove the support buck attached to the frame. The support
buck should remain attached until the door unit is in front of the rough
opening and is ready to be installed. In addition to protecting the sill,
the buck reduces the stress placed on the corners of the frame.
Inspect Door
• Cosmetic damage and/or shipping damage.
• Manufacturing abnormalities (e.g., warp, bow, squareness).
• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energy-
efciency requirements, etc.).
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements not more than 1/4"
different).
• Frame or slab damage.
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.
Assembly and Installation Instructions
for Smooth-Pro
™
F-4500 Fiberglass Folding Wall System (JII-90076)
Needed Materials
• 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: A pan ashing system (as dened in ASTM E2112) 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
water-resistive 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.
• Sealant: An exterior grade sealant (e.g., OSI
®
QUAD
®
Max or equivalent)
is recommended for installation practices. Check with sealant
manufacturer for color-match and paintability.
• Backer rod 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead).
