Installation Instructions for Typical Wood Frame Construction and Concrete Block Constructions.

These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall and concrete block constructions in a wall system designed to manage water. Installation details speciﬁc to replacement of Aluminum Sliding Doors in Hard Coat Stucco applications can be found at the end of this instruction. 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 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.

The performance of any building is dependent upon the design, installation, and workmanship of the entire building system. Pella Corporation strongly recommends consulting

an experienced architect, contractor, or structural engineer prior to installation of Pella products. The individual (building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer) responsible for the project must take into account local conditions, building codes, inherent component limitations, the effects of aging and weathering on building components, and other design issues relevant to each project. The determination of the suitability of all building components for each project, as well as the design and installation of ﬂashing and sealing systems, are the responsibility of the building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer

Handling and Storage: Provide full support under the framework while storing, moving and installing the product. DO NOT lift the product by the head member only. Remove the plastic shipping material prior to storing or installing the product. DO NOT store in direct sunlight. Allow sufﬁcient spacing between products for ventilation

ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION

If replacing an Aluminum sliding door in hardcoat stucco, see Step 8 Flush Flange Opening Preparation on page 11.

A. Conﬁrm the opening is plumb and level. Ensure

the bottom of the rough opening does not slope toward the interior.

Note: For peak water performance it is critical the bottom be level within +/- 1/16".

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: 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.

C. Nail-ﬁn only: Cut the water resistive barrier (1C).

Water Resistive Barrier

1st cut

2nd

cut

3rd 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.

Exterior

D. Nail-ﬁn Only: Fold the water resistive barrier (1D). Fold

side ﬂaps into the opening and staple to inside wall. Fold 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 (1E) so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.

Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width of the opening so that 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) (1F). 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 framing (1G).

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

If using optional sill pan, see Step 10 Sill Pan Fabrication and Installation on page 15.

PREPARE THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL SAFELY

A. Remove the packaging from the door. Inspect

the frame and panels for damage. DO NOT install damaged units.

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

B. Locate the kitted parts bag. Remove from unit and

place in a safe location that is accessible during the door installation.

C. Remove the vent panel. With the jamb side of the

door down, slide the panel all the way to one direction, while lifting the panel out of the bottom frame pocket. Swing the panel out of the frame.

D. Transom/Sidelight only: Remove the sill track and

pocket covers by pulling on the paper ring. DO NOT damage these items as they will be re-installed once the frame is fastened to the opening.

SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL SAFELY

If installing in a block replacement or a concrete ﬂoor, go to Step 3A to remove the bottom ﬁn. If NOT removing the bottom ﬁn go to Step B.

A. To remove the bottom ﬁn, lay the door down with the interior facing up. With a utility

knife, carefully score the entire length of the ﬁn three times where it meets the sill. Bend the ﬁn back and forth a few times, then peel the ﬁn off.

Note: Keep the body of the knife against the frame to prevent gouging the sill.

SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR (CONTINUED)

B. Dry ﬁt the door. Make sure the door is plumb, square

and level. Drill anchor locations with 1/8" masonry bit. Mark the interior of the door frame at the sill to show a boundary for sealant placement. Carefully remove and set the door aside.

C. Apply two continuous 1/4" to 3/8" diameter beads

of sealant across the sill of the opening and 12" up the jambs, towards the interior side of the door (between the anchor holes and interior edge of door). DO NOT apply sealant between the anchor holes and the exterior side of the sill plate or ﬂoor.

Note: Failure to properly seal the sill attachment screws and sill plate may allow water to penetrate the interior of the home.

D. Insert the door from the exterior of the building. Place the bottom of the door at the

bottom of the opening, then tilt the top into position. Center the door between the sides to allow equal clearance for shimming. Make sure the door is plumb, level and square.

Door Frames with Nail Fin: Insert one 2" galvanized

rooﬁng nail into the top of each jamb nailing ﬁn.

Door Frames without Nail Fin: Insert one screw in the top hole of each jamb.

Note: When installing doors without a bottom ﬁn, DO NOT slide the bottom of the door into the opening, as sliding will damage the sealant lines. Insert sill anchor screws prior to shimming.

E. Plumb and square the door. Insert shims at

the jambs between the door and the sides of the rough opening. Place shims behind each of the pre-drilled installation holes. DO NOT place shims at the sill. DO NOT place shims at the head until Step 4I.
