Important Safety Information:

Pella® HurricaneShield® Products have been tested in accordance with the large missile impact testing requirements have been certiﬁ ed to meet those requirements. Check with the individual (building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer) responsible for the project in addition to local building code ofﬁ cials to determine if these products comply with local codes. Pella HurricaneShield Products are neither hurricane proof nor are they shatter proof. Severe wind and rain may produce temporary conditions which exceed product performance standards. When these units are subjected to intense storms or extreme conditions, which exceed the intended design pressures, air, water and ﬂ ying debris inﬁ ltration may occur.

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, multiple units or bow and bay windows, may be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella retailer, or by visiting http://www.pella.com. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: To achieve maximum door performance, the performance upgrade installation may be required. Additional performance information may be obtained from your Pella retailer of www.pella.com. All HurricaneShield doors are required to use the Performance Upgrade Installation steps contained within this instruction.

Note: It is critical that the bottom is level.

B. Conﬁ rm the door will ﬁ t the opening. Measure

all four sides of the opening to make sure it is 3/4" larger than the door in width and 1/2" larger in 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: 1-1/2" or more of solid wood blocking is required around the perimeter of the opening. Fix any problems with the rough opening before proceeding.

D. Fold the water resistive barrier. Fold side ﬂ aps into the

opening and staple to inside wall. Fold top ﬂ ap up and temporarily fasten with ﬂ ashing tape.

For Doors Using Optional Sill Pan Go To Step 1I.

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

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

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

F. Tab the sill ﬂ ashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at

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

G. Apply sill ﬂ ashing tape #2. Cut a piece of ﬂ ashing 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 framing (1G).

In-swing doors: If the wall depth is greater than 5", add a

third piece of ﬂ ashing tape. The ﬂ ashing tape should come to within 1" of the interior face of the framing.

Note: The ﬂ ashing tape may not fully cover the framing members.
