IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Wood Patio Doors with Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII026)

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for wood patio doors with exterior trim or nailing n. Read these 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.

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 water from under the patio door.

Not all patio door types may 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.

Please Note! Any patio door installation where the sill is higher than

35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specically addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or structural engineer. Failure to install square, level and plumb and on a at surface (without twist or warp) 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 warranty as part of the terms of the sale.

GLOSSARY

Applied Nailing Fin

A mechanically attached vinyl n that creates a ange around the perimeter of the patio door and is used to position the patio door in the rough opening.

Backer Rod (backing material)

A material (e.g. foam rod), placed into a joint primarily to control the depth of the sealant.

Buck

A wood framework attached to the masonry inside a window or patio door rough opening.

Mulled Unit

Two or more door units structurally joined together.

Pilot Hole

A drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus the threads).

Shiplap

The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so that water runs down the outside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Wood Patio Doors with Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII026)

This installation guide specically addresses masonry/block wall, sheathed wall and open-stud construction.

MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION

This installation assumes that a building professional has already properly fastened and sealed a framework of studs (often called a buck) to the concrete/ masonry wall.

SAFETY AND HANDLING

SAFETY

• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions beforebeginning.

• 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.

• Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).

• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s operatinginstructions.

• Use caution when working at elevated heights.

FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUC TION

The wall framing is covered by sheathing and the door will be mounted with the nailing n/exterior trim ush against the sheathing. This installation assumes building wrap is properly installed prior to installation.

OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION

The wall framing needs to be covered by backing support before the patio door can be installed. The door will be mounted with the nailing n/exterior trim ush against the applied backing support.

This backing support should be a non water-degradable, thin (max. 1/8" thick) sheet material such as vinyl sheeting. Completely surround the rough opening with the backing support as shown. Backing support must be applied before building wrap.

MATERIALS AND PATIO DOOR HANDLING

• Make sure the operating panel is secured prior to installation.

• 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.

• Protect from exposure to direct sunlight during storage.

• Install only into vertical walls and when conditions and sheathing aredry.

IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!
