IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for W-4500 Folding Door Systems (JII041)

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for W-4500 Folding 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 rough opening 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

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.

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.

INSPECT DOOR

• Cosmetic damage

• Verify the width and height of the door frame are each 1/2"- 3/4" smaller than the rough opening width/height.

• Verify the rough opening is square. The (A) and (B) measurements should be the same. Maximum allowable deviation from square is 1/4".

REMOVE PACKAGING AND INSPECT DOOR

INSPECT ROUGH OPENING

Verify Square, Level, and Plumb

• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energyefciency requirements, etc.)

If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect environmental conditions to exceed the door's performance rating, do not install the door. Contact your dealer or distributor for recommendations.

• Verify the rough opening is level and plumb (C). The maximum allowable deviation is 1/8".

• The rough opening sill must not be crowned or sagged (D). A 5 degree sloped sill is recommended.

• The exterior face of the rough opening must be in a single plane (E) with less than 1/8" twist from corner to corner.

The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend SureSill™ Sloped Sill Pan™ available from SureSill at www.suresill.com, building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations or fabricate a sill pan on site. If installing a SureSill™ sill pan, follow SureSill™’s instructions for installation and skip to section 4 “PREPARE BUCK“, or to section 5, “PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL“ as it applies to your situation. If fabricating a sill pan on the job site, follow the instructions below.

PREPARE BUCK

Note! This section applies to installations into a buck only. For

installations into a stud-framed wall, begin with section 5, “PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL.”

1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck and the concrete/masonry with sealant.

2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head and jambs (apply over sill pan if installing a job site fabricated sill pan) with liquid applied ashing per manufacture's instructions as shown.

END of Buck Instructions, SKIP to section 6, “INSTALL DOOR.”

PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL

FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS

Completely remove the old door unit. Verify rough opening is structurally sound.

PREPARE BUILDING WRAP

Verify these steps are allowed by the building wrap manufacturer.

1. Trim building wrap ush with the edges of the rough opening.

2. If the door extends beyond the exterior plain of the building and a drip cap is desired, at the head, slit building wrap 6" at 45°. Tape up as shown. We

recommend installing a drip cap because this integrates the

45˚

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. Apply spray adhesive/primer to the sill pan and surrounding area. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application methods.

5. Cut a piece of self-adhesive ashing the length of the sill and apply over the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should be completely covered by the self-adhesive ashing. For step down landings, fold ashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim ush with rough opening.

PREPARE FRAME

If holes are not pre-drilled in the frame components, pre-drill side jamb holes behind the weatherstrip 4" from the corners and then every 16" on center. Pre-drill the head and sill tracks 4" from the corners and every 8" for the span of pivot panel(s). Remaining holes should be 16" on center for the entire track span. If installing on a concrete oor, prepare the sill track per manufacture's instructions based on chosen fastener.

ASSEMBLE FRAME

1. On a clean and at surface, carefully position head, jambs and sill with the interior facing down.

2. Run a bead of sealant on all surfaces of both ends of the sill as shown. Remove

backing paper from gaskets applied to jambs. Repeat application for the head where the ends will contact the jambs.

3. Clamp the frame corners as needed to ensure that the frame sections t together ush and secure through the pre-drilled holes in the jambs with the provided #10 x 2 1/2" at head screws.

INSTALL FRAME

Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install.

1. If the door includes a center pivot (additional hinge provided on certain

Center pivot housing

doors to be installed mid way on a jamb with a pivot panel), remove center pivot housing from the frame if installed. Set aside for reinstallation later.

2. 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

6. Install drip cap if required or desired. Fold the building wrap (previously taped up) down over the drip cap and seal the cut ends with self-adhesive ashing or building wrap tape.

AFTER INSTALLATION

1. Maintain gap of 1/4"- 3/8" between door frame and nal exterior wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.).

2. Seal this gap on the sides with backer rod and sealant. Do not apply sealant on top of the drip cap if present.

3. Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc. by covering the unit with plastic.

4. Protect the sill with the protective sill cover until all construction activities are complete. Resize the cover to t between opened panels as necessary.

5. Remove labels or other materials adhered to glass within 30 days after installation.
