The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend
SureSill
™
Sloped Sill Pan
™
available from SureSill at www.suresill.com,
building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations. As an
alternative, a sill pan can be fabricated on site, by following the
instructions below. If installing a SureSill
™
sill pan, follow SureSill’s
instructions for installation and skip to section 6 “PREPARE
STUD-FRAMED WALL“.
1. Cut a piece of sheet
material to the
length shown.
2. Lightly crease folding
lines 1/2" in from the
two short sides and
one long side.
3. Measure the width
of the sill from
the interior to the
nailing n/trim and
add9/16".
4. Take this distance
from the back edge
and lightly crease a
folding line across
the sheet material.
Note! This section applies to installations into a buck only. For
installations into a stud-framed wall, begin with section 6, “PREPARE
STUD-FRAMED WALL.”
1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck
and the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head
and jambs and sill with liquid applied ashing as shown.
3. Apply diamond lath to all ashed surfaces to be covered by stucco.
