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 specic anchoring requirements. For information on specic 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 ofcial 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 specically 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.

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 conguration) 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).
