A. Apply the side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing

tape 4" longer than the frame height of the door. Apply

one piece to each side over the nailing fin and onto the

water resistive barrier. The tape should extend 2" above

the top of the door and 2" below the bottom of the door.

Press the tape down firmly.

C. fold down the top flap of the water resistive barrier.

D. Apply flashing tape to the diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of

flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the

water resistive barrier. Apply the tape, covering the entire

diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at both upper

corners of the door. Press the tape down firmly.
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners.

E. Attach the wood blocking or aluminum sill support to the

exterior of the opening to support the edge of the door sill.

B. Apply the top flashing tape. Cut a

piece of flashing tape long enough to

go across the top of the door and

extend at least 1" past the side

flashing tape on both sides. Apply

the tape over the top nailing fin as

shown. Press the tape down firmly.
Note: The tape should cover the

entire nailing fin, but not extend

onto the door frame. The top flashing tape

must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent water

from getting behind it.

Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams

and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of

high pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door frame to

bow and hinder operation.

A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert

the nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep into

the space between the door and the rough opening and

apply a 1" deep bead of foam. This will allow room for

expansion of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. If

using foam other than Great Stuff™ Window and Door

Insulating Foam Sealant by the Dow Chemical Company,

allow the foam to cure completely (usually 8 to 24 hours)

before proceeding to the next step.
Note: It may be necessary to squeeze the end of the

tube with pliers to be able to insert into the space

between the door frame and the rough opening. DO

NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin

to the interior face of the door.
