INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Vinyl Patio Doors with Integral Nailing Fin (JII006)
5
SPRAY ADHESIVE/PRIMER
Apply spray adhesive
per manufacturer’s
instructions (protect
door from overspray) to
nailing n, sheathing,
and building wrap
around the patio door
as shown.
3. Shim the head jamb 4" from the corners of each panel.
4. Conrm the patio door for square, level, and plumb. Test for proper
operation (remove and reinstall if necessary).
SECURE PATIO DOOR
Note! Fastener heads must be ush. Do not dent nailing n. Always
use pre-punched holes or pre-drill with a 3/16" bit.
Patio doors will be
fastened according to
performance rating.
This rating is located on
the gold AAMA label
xed somewhere on
the frame, generally in
the head jamb. Look
for something like
this example: R-PG20-
3645X2426 (144X96)-
SD. If this label is
missing, use the PG35
and above fastener
pattern below. Fasten
through nailing n
holes as follows:
• PG20–4" from the corners and every 12" on center.
• PG35 and above–4" from each corner and every 8" on center.
APPLY DRIP CAP (IF APPLICABLE)
1. Apply 1/4" bead of
sealant to header
asshown.
2. Center drip cap on
the header with
1/8" overhang on
eachend.
3. Nail drip cap in place
as shown.
SHIM THE JAMBS
Note! Secure all shims with sealant.
1. From the interior,
shim the operating
panel side jamb 4"
from the corners and
at the strike plate.
Align shims so that
strike plate screws
(installed later) will
each penetrate
ashim.
2. Shim the stationary
panel side jamb 4"
from the corners and
at center.
Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install. Adequately
support the door until fully installed.
1. For continuous slab
landings only, score
and remove nailing n
at sill.
2. If installing a pre-
formed sill pan,
follow manufacturer’s
instructions and skip
this step. If installing a
job site fabricated sill
pan, run a continuous
3/8" bead of sealant
along the sill pan back
dam. When the frame
is installed, make
sure the frame makes
solid contact with the
sealant. Add more
sealant if necessary.
3. Run a continuous 3/8" bead of sealant around the interior side of the
nail fin on the side jambs and head. On the sill, leave at least a 2" gap
every 8" where it will contact the rough opening.
4. Tilt patio door into the rough opening. Adequately support the door
until fully installed.
5. Fasten patio door between 3" and 4" from one upper corner.
