SIDE RAILS
Side Rails are designed to add extra support as well as a smooth wall for a better seal.
#1 Doorways With No Reveal
#2 No Door Frame Options
#3 Openings too wide for Flood Gates:
Many doors, particularly PVC doors, patio doors and French windows, are tted almost ush with the outer
face of the building. In these situations, you would need to consider how you can sufciently extend the
reveal to allow the barrier to work
Use a pair of Side Rails (optional) to t to either the reveal or the outer face of the building and provide a
solid point to which the Flood Gates can t into. (See Example 1.)
Example 1: Side Rails (optional accessory)
To t the Flood Gate in a wall where the side walls are not adequate, you will need to create a side wall
support of some kind, using optional Side Rails as shown in example below.
If opening is greater than 50in, an additional frame may be added to decrease opening size. However,
please ensure that the screw heads do not protrude from the frame and stanchions may be used to connect
multiple units together.
Note:WhereSideRailsarettedtothewall,thesidesshouldbesealedwithcaulkbetweenthe
side wall & the Side Rail itself to ensure water cannot bypass between the wall & Flood Gate.
Always ensure the joints between
the new frame and the existing wall/
frame are ‘sealed’ with a water
resistant silicone caulk to protect
against water intrusion.
