IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GLOSSARY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Fiberglass Gliding Patio Doors with Applied Nailing Fin (JII104)
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN's recommended installation instructions for berglass
gliding patio doors with applied 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 storm water from under the patio door.
Consult your local building code ofcial 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 specically
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 piece of vinyl or aluminum that is slid into a track in the outside of a
window or patio door frame.
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.
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.
Weep Hole (weep channel)
The visible exit or entry part of a water drainage system used to drain
water out of a door.
LANDINGS
These instructions
cover two patio door
sill conditions: the

vary slightly between
landing types.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Fiberglass Gliding Patio Doors with Applied Nailing Fin (JII104)
This installation guide specically addresses masonry/block wall,
sheathed wall and open-stud construction.
MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION
This installation
assumes that a
framework of 2x studs
(often called a buck)
has already been
properly fastened and
sealed to the concrete/
masonry wall by a
building professional.

• 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.
This installation
assumes building wrap
is properly installed
prior to installation.
Trimmer
King

OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
Wall framing is not covered by sheathing.
MATERIALS & 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.
• Never use solvent-based sealants on vinyl products.
IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

REMOVE PACKAGING
Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks or
pads. Remove any temporary handles just prior to installation into the
rough opening.
INSPECT PATIO DOOR
• Cosmetic damage
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements must be within 1/4"
difference)
2
• Verify the width and
height of the patio
door are each
1/2"- 3/4" smaller
than the rough
opening width/
height. Mulled
units should be 3/4"
smaller.
• Verify the rough
opening is square.
The (A) and (B)
measurements
should be the same.
Maximum allowable
deviation from square
is 1/4".

• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energyefciency requirements, etc.)
• For side-by-side mulled units, a drip cap that extends the length of the
frame plus 1/8" overhang on each end is required.
If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect
environmental conditions to exceed the patio door's performance
rating, do not install the patio door. Contact your dealer or distributor
for recommendations.
• Verify the rough opening is level and plumb (C) and (D). 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.
• Minimum double studs should be used at all wood framed rough
openings.
• The header must be supported by trimmer studs.
