3
Provided Materials
• 4- #10 x 2 1/2" screws (to secure the strike plate).
Needed Materials
NOTE: JELD-WEN exterior window and door products should be
installed in accordance with JELD-WEN’s recommended installation
instructions, which are printed on the product label or can be found
on our website: www.jeld-wen.com.
NOTE: Alternative installation methods and ashing systems
may be utilized at the installer’s or owner’s discretion and, in
such situations the installation should be done in accordance
with the ashing manufacturer’s instructions. Follow all material
manufacturers’ instructions for proper use and compatibility. When
using ashing, spray adhesive/primer, sealant and foam products,
we recommend using the same manufacturer and verifying
compatibility. It is the End User’s responsibility to determine if
dissimilar materials are compatible with the substrates in the
application.
• #8 pan-head or washer head, corrosion resistant screw. Minimum
embedment of 1 1/4" into the structural framing (or as required by
localcode).
• Sill pan: It is best practice to use a pre-formed, rigid, positively sloped,
pvc pan that provides continuous support. We recommend using
SureSill™ Sloped Sill Pan™, manufactured by SureSill™, Ltd. An
alternative would be a non-sloped pre-formed sill pan or one that can
be fabricated on site from metal or vinyl sheet material with the proper
tools.
• Sealant: We recommend OSI
®
QUAD
®
Max Sealant or equivalent (for
interior air seal). This can be used in any application and can be painted
or ordered in a color matched product, if desired.
• Polyurethane low expansion Window and Door foam: We recommend
OSI
®
QUAD
®
Foam or equivalent (for interior air seal).
• Backer rod: 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead for interior air seal).
• Non-compressible or non-water degradable shims.
• Drip cap (if not supplied).

Remove Packaging
• Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks,
shrink wrap or pads. If there is a protective lm on the glass, do not
remove it until installation and construction is complete.
• Do not remove the installation label until after the inspection of the job
iscomplete.
Inspect Patio Door
• Cosmetic damage.
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements not more than
1/4"different).
• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energy-
efciency requirements, etc.).
• Cracked frame welds or other frame damage.
• Splits, cracks, holes, missing sections or other damage to the nailing n
longer than 6" and/or within 1/2" of the patio door frame.
• For side-by-side mulled units, a drip cap that extends the length of the
frame plus 1/8" overhang on each end is required.
If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect
environmental conditions to exceed the patio doors performance
rating, do not install the patio door. Contact your dealer or distributor
