IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Custom Clad Lift and Slide Door Systems (JII040)

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for Custom Lift and Slide doors. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning. They are designed to work in most existing applications, however; existing conditions may require use of alternative methods 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. To adequately protect your door, please refer to “Appropriate Protection for Exterior Doors” for information on protection requirements at www.jeld-wen.com.

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure inside the house, which can draw water through very small openings. Our installation method seals the door to the weather barrier (typically building wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain incidental storm water from under the door to the exterior.

Not all exterior door types may be installed into every wall condition in all areas. See our Appropriate Protection document for overhang requirements at www.jeld-wen.com. Consult your local building code ofcial (or Authority having Jurisdiction) for applicable building codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede recommended installation instructions.

Please Note! Any door installation such that 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. We recommend that all non pre-nished wood or berglass components be nished with an appropriate paint or stain prior to installation. See our Finishing document for details at www.jeld-wen.com. Failure to properly nish or install square, level and plumb and on a at surface (without peak 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 warranty as part of the terms of the sale.

GLOSSARY

Astragal

The vertical trim attached to one of the panels of a sliding patio door that bridges the gap between the panels when closed and provides weather protection.

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 a door rough opening.

Continuous Air Seal

Backer rod and sealant or low expansion foam applied to the interior gap between the product and the building in a continuous fashion used to block air ow between the interior and exterior of the building envelope.

Interlock

A weatherstrip component that runs vertically along the stiles of either horizontal sliding sashes or sliding patio door panels. When the window/door is closed, the interlocks engage, locking together, to create a weather barrier.

Pilot Hole

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

Rough Opening

The framed opening in a wall where a door is to be installed.

Shiplap

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

Sill Pan

A ashing component installed in the sill of the rough opening underneath the door. Sill pans have upturned walls along the interior edge and at both ends, creating a three sided box. This component serves as a collection device to drain incidental water to the exterior of the building and should be properly sealed to the opening. The best sill pan design has a positive slope to the exterior and offers continuous support to the door's sill.

Please allow sufcient time to properly prepare the rough opening, install the door, and ensure its proper operation.

• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before beginning. Failure to follow proper installation and nishing instructions may result in the denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.

• 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.

• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA (www. epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission ofces provide information regarding regulations and lead protection.

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.

• Sill: Wood Sub Floor: #8 x 1 1/4" corrosion-resistant, pan-head screws; Concrete Sub Floor: 1/4" diameter self-tapping concrete screws (Tapcon®, or equivalent); length of screw must penetrate at least 1 1/4" into the sub oor. Side Jambs: #10 x 2 1/2" corrosion-resistant, at-head screws; Head jamb: #10 x 2 1/2" corrosion-resistant, panhead screws.

• Non-compressible or water degradable shims

• 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 metal or vinyl sheet material with the proper tools.

• 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.

wrap 6" at 45°. Tape up as shown. We recommend installing a drip cap because this integrates the building wrap and drip cap to protect the structure and the product from incidental water.

3. Trim the sides sufciently to allow the nailing n to be mounted against the sheathing.

Note! The rest of the steps in this section only apply to a job site

fabricated sill pan. If installing a sill pan that you have purchased, follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and skip to section 6, “INSTALL DOOR.”

4. If installing a metal sill pan on concrete, cut a piece of self-adhesive

ashing the length of the sill pan and adhere it to the entire bottom surface where the pan will sit on the concrete.

5. Apply spray adhesive/primer to the sill pan and surrounding area.

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application methods.

6. Cut a piece of selfadhesive ashing the length of the sill and apply over the entire sill pan. For step down landings, fold ashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim ush with rough opening.

7. Cut two pieces of self-adhesive ashing 6" wide by the sill pan width + 3" long.

a. For continuous

slab landings only, cut out the inside corner.

b. Adhere the

pieces of ashing to the inside corners. Stretch ashing as needed to cover corners and lay at.

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.

2. Tilt the frame into the rough opening. Adequately support the frame until fully installed.

3. Align the exterior of the frame, or applied nailing n, with the most exterior surface of the structure (the exterior face of the concrete wall, framing or sheathing).

SHIM THE JAMBS

Note! Secure all shims with sealant.

1. From the interior, shim the side jambs at each pre-drilled hole. Shim head track next to pre-drilled holes.

Also shim at the strike plate(s) if applicable so that strike plate screws (installed later) will each penetrate a shim.

2. Inspect the frame for square, level, and plumb (remove and reinstall if necessary).

Interior

FASTEN FRAME

1. To secure the head, fasten through each pre-drilled hole using #10 x 2 1/2" screws. Fastener holes should not go through, but next to shims. Move shims accordingly to be next to fastener holes if necessary.

2. To secure the sill, put a generous amount of silicone sealant in each pre-drilled hole and drive a #10 x 2 1/2" screw through each hole.

3. Secure the side jambs through each pre-drilled hole.

6. Verify the unit is square by re-measuring on the diagonals.

7. Verify the unit is plumb and level.

8. Use a level (4 foot recommended) to ensure there are no bows in the framing.

9. Adjust screws and re-shim as needed to correct any bows.
