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

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

piece 1/2" onto the frame cladding, 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 while folding down

the excess tape at the top and bottom of the door.

B. Apply 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

1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the top nailing fin as

shown. Fold the overlapping tape down, and press all tape

down firmly.
Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the

side flashing tape to prevent water from getting

behind it.

C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (3C).

INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE

WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER

Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2"

onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the

tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it

easier to apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2"

thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant

line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.

D. Apply flashing tape to 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.

Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (3D).
