1/8" compression. If
it does not and an
adjustable threshold
is used, turn the
adjustment screws
on the threshold
clockwise to lower
the threshold or
counterclockwise to
raise it.
5. Thefoamwedges
included with entry
doors are used
to complete the
weatherstrip seal at
each bottom corner
of the operating
door panel(s). Doors
will be provided
with one of two
types of wedges.
One has an up-
turned L-shaped
leg (shown) and the
other is a simple
wedge. For both
types, the thin
edge faces the
edge of the door as it swings closed. Apply a bead of sealant at
the intersection of the jambs, brickmoulds, thresholds and oor as
shown.
6. Apply sealant
around the outside
of the door unit
between the siding
and brickmould
and between the
brickmould and the
jamb. Also apply
sealant along the
front side of the
threshold (leave
1" gaps every
12"toallowfor
water drainage)
and between the
jamb sides and the
threshold as shown.
