INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Fiberglass Gliding Patio Doors with Applied Nailing Fin (JII104)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY

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.

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 storm water from under the patio door.

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 specically

addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or

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

at 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.
