INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Wood Patio Doors without Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII027)

LANDINGS

These instructions

cover two patio door

sill conditions: the

step-down landing

and the continuous

slab landing. The

installation methods

vary slightly between

landing types.

Please allow sufficient time to properly prepare the rough opening,

install the patio door, and ensure its proper operation.

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water

tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure

inside the home, which can draw water through very small openings.

Our installation method seals the patio door to the weather barrier

(typically building wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain

incidental water from under the patio door.

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are

JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for wood patio

doors without exterior trim or nailing n. Read these instructions

thoroughly before beginning. They are designed to work in most

existing applications, however; existing conditions may require

changes to these instructions. If changes are needed, they are made

at the installer’s risk. For installations other than indicated in these

instructions, contact a building professional.

Not all patio door types may be installed into every wall condition in all

areas. Consult your local building code ofcial for applicable building

codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede

recommended installation instructions.

Please Note! Any patio door installation where the sill is higher than

35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specifically

addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or

structural engineer. Failure to install square, level and plumb and on a

flat surface (without twist or warp) could result in denial of warranty

claims for operational or performance problems.

Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building

owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and

conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.
