INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPERVIA

Installation Instructions for Typical Wood Frame Construction.

These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction in a wall system designed to manage water. These instructions are not to be used with any other construction method. Installation instructions for use with other construction methods or multiple units may be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella retailer. Building designs, construction methods, building materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.

Installation will require two or more persons for safety reasons.

A. Conﬁrm the opening is plumb and level.

Ensure the bottom of the rough opening does not slope towards the interior.

Note: It is critical the bottom is level.

B. Conﬁrm the door will ﬁt the opening. Measure all

four sides of the opening to make sure it is 1/2" larger than the door in width and height. Measure the width at the top, bottom and center. Measure the height at the far left side, the far right side and in the center.

Note: Solid wood blocking of 1-1/2" or more is required around the perimeter of the opening. Fix any problems with the rough opening before proceeding.

C. Cut the water resistive barrier.

1st cut

3rd cut

2nd cut

4th cut: Make a 6" cut up from each top corner at a 45 angle to allow the water resistive barrier to be lapped over the ﬁn at the head of the door.

ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION (CONTINUED)

D. Fold the water resistive barrier. Fold side ﬂaps into the

opening and staple to the inside wall. Fold the top ﬂap up and temporarily fasten with ﬂashing tape.

E. Apply sill ﬂashing tape #1. Cut a piece of ﬂashing tape 12"

longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom of the opening as shown so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.

Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width of the opening so it will extend up each side approximately 6".

F. Tab the sill ﬂashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at each

corner (1/2" from each side of corner). Fold tape to the exterior and press ﬁrmly to adhere it to the water resistive barrier.

G. Apply sill ﬂashing tape #2. Cut a piece of ﬂashing tape

12" longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom, overlapping tape #1 by at least 1". DO NOT allow the tape to extend past the interior face of the frame.

Note: The ﬂashing tape does not need to extend all the way to the interior of the framing.

H. Attach the aluminum sill support or

wood blocking to the exterior of the sill

structure to support the edge of the door sill. The sill support should be cut the entire length of the sill member and placed ﬂush with the subﬂoor.

PREPARE THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION

A. Remove the plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from the door.

Note: If screens or hardware are removed from the door at this time, label them and store them in a protected area.

B. OX/XO doors only: Remove the shipping spacers. Carefully slide the movable

panel halfway open and remove the spacers from both the top and bottom of the movable panel.

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED

TO HANDLE THE PANEL AND FRAME SAFELY.

C. OX/XO doors only: If the vent panel is installed in the frame, you will need to

remove the vent panel by lifting it out of the lower track and tilting the bottom of the panel away from the door frame. Then lower the panel out of the top track. Carefully set the panel aside.

Note: If transoms or ﬁxed units are mulled to doors and/or ﬁns are to be installed to no ﬁn units, go to the Mulling Instructions and/or Applying Installation Fins Instructions on the back before proceeding to the next step.

SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR

A. Place three 3/8" beads of sealant. The ﬁrst bead should

be approximately 3/4" from the exterior of the rough opening, the second 2-1/2" in from the ﬁrst bead of sealant.

OX/XO doors only: Place a third bead of sealant in the

groove of the sill support or 1/4" from the exterior edge of the wood blocking.

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE

B. Insert the door from the exterior of the building.

DO NOT slide the bottom of the door into the opening. Sliding will damage the sealant lines. Place

the bottom of the door at the bottom of the opening, then tilt the top into position. Center the door between the sides of the opening to allow equal clearance for shimming, and insert one rooﬁng nail in the ﬁrst hole from the corner on each end of the top nailing ﬁn (see inset). These are used to hold the door in place while shimming it plumb and square.

C. Plumb and square door. Insert shims, as necessary,

between the door and the sides of the rough opening starting up 6" from the bottom of the door. Keep shims back 1/2" from interior face of window.

Note: DO NOT shim above the door. DO NOT OVER SHIM.

D. Fasten the door to the opening

by driving 2" galvanized rooﬁng nails into each pre-punched hole in the nailing ﬁn.

E. Install roller retainers. Position and secure the two roller retainers provided by drilling

pilot holes through the pre-drilled holes into the sill support. Apply sealant to the holes and insert screws as speciﬁed below:

Aluminum sill support: 9/64" pilot holes, # 8 x 3/4" thread-cutting screws (provided).

Wood blocking: 1/8" pilot holes, #8 x 2-1/2" ﬂat-head wood screws (provided).
