2. Center the drip cap
on the header and
mechanically fasten
with appropriately
sized nails or screws.
Be sure the fastener
does not completely
penetrate the frame
header.

of self-adhesive
ashing 6" wide by
the sill pan width +
3" long.

slab landings
only, cut out
the inside
corner.
b. Adhere the
pieces of
ashing to the
exterior corners.
Stretch ashing
as needed to
cover corners
and lay at.
7. Smooth gaps or
bubbles beneath
self-adhesive
ashing with a

area. Follow
manufacturer’s
instructions
for application
methods.
5. Cut a piece of self-adhesive ashing the length of the sill and apply
