ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Premium Aluminum (A-500) and Premium Atlantic Aluminum
Sliding Patio Doors (JII020)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for Premium
Aluminum Sliding Patio Doors with two or three tracks and up to
six panels. Read these installation instructions thoroughly before
beginning. They are designed to work in most existing applications.
However, existing conditions may require changes to these
instructions. If changes are needed, they are made at the installer’s
risk. For installations other than indicated in these instructions,
contact a building professional. Areas such as Florida and the Texas
wind borne debris region have specic anchoring requirements. For
information on specic products, visit www.oridabuilding.org or
www.tdi.texas.gov.
Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water
tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure
inside the home, which can draw water through very small openings.
Our installation method seals the patio door to the weather barrier
(typically building wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain
incidental storm water from under the patio door.
Not all patio door types can be installed into every wall condition in all
areas. Consult your local building code ofcial for applicable building
codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede
recommended installation instructions.
Note! Installation such that the sill is higher than 35 feet above ground
level or any product installation into a wall condition not specically
addressed in these full instructions must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer.
Failure to install square, level and plumb and on a at surface (without
peaks and valleys) could result in denial of warranty claims for
operational or performance problems.
Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building
owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and
conditions of the limited product warranty as part of the terms of the
sale.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Premium Aluminum (A-500) and Premium Atlantic Aluminum Sliding Patio Doors (JII020)
These installation instructions specically address masonry/block wall,
sheathed wall and open-stud construction. In each case, the door will be
mounted by fastening through the jambs into the rough opening.
MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION
For installation in a
masonry/block wall
Masonry/Block Wall Construction
construction, a buck
(a wood framework
attached to the
masonry) is required.
We will refer to this
buck as the rough

FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUC TION
The wall framing is
covered by sheathing.
Sheathed Wall Construction
Header
OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
Covering the wall
framing with
backing support
is recommended
before the patio
door is installed.
This backing support
should be a non
water-degradable,
thin (max. 1/8" thick)
sheet material such
as plywood, or vinyl
sheeting. Completely
surround the rough
opening with the
backing support
as shown. Backing
support must be
applied before building wrap.

beginning. Failure to follow proper assembly and installation
instructions may result in the denial of warranty claims for

• Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe lifting
techniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause
serious injury.

• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s operating
instructions.
• Use caution when working at elevated heights.
PATIO DOOR HANDLING
• Heed material manufacturers’ handling and application instructions.
• Protect adhesive surfaces from dirt, moisture, direct sunlight and
folding over onto themselves.
• Handle in vertical position; do not drag on oor.
• Do not put stress on joints, corners or frames.
• Store patio door in dry, well-ventilated area in vertical, leaning
position to allow air circulation; do not stack horizontally.

NEEDED MATERIALS
Note! 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.
• Sealant: We recommend OSI® QUAD® Max Sealant or equivalent. This
can be used in any application and can be painted or ordered in a
color matched product, if desired.
• Non-compressible or water degradable shims, such as high-density
plastic or composite.
• Backer rod 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead).
• Liquid applied ashing (Protecto Wrap LWM 200 or equivalent).
• 4", 6", or 9" (as required by local code and window conguration)
wide self-adhesive ashing: We recommend OSI® QUAD® Butyl
Flashing Tape or equivalent.
For installation in sheathed wall or open stud construction:
• #8 x 1 1/4" corrosion-resistant, at-head screws; (length of screw must
penetrate at least 1" into the framing).
For buck framing in a concrete (masonry) structure:
• 3/16" diameter self-tapping concrete screws (Tapcon®, or equivalent);
length of screw must penetrate at least 1 1/4" into the concrete
For step-down and Continuous Slab landings:
• 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 can be
fabricated on site from self adhesive ashing, metal or vinyl sheet
material with the proper tools and materials.
NEEDED TOOLS
• Cutting shears (sill pan)
• Tape measure
• Utility knife
• Level (4' minimum
recommended)
• J-roller
• Caulking gun
• Drill with bits (assembly)
• Construction stapler
• Putty knife
• Phillips screwdriver
• Hammer drill and masonry bits
for masonry applications
