INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Doors with Integral Nailing Fin (JII006-ODL)

LANDINGS

These instructions
cover two patio door
sill conditions: the

step-down landing

and the

continuous

slab landing.

The

installation methods
vary slightly between
landing types.

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water tightness
in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure inside the home,
which can draw water through very small openings. Our installation method
seals the patio door to the weather barrier (typically building wrap) and uses a
sill pan to capture and drain incidental storm water from under the patio door.

Thank you for selecting ODL products. Attached are the recommended
installation instructions for Vinyl Patio Doors with nailing fin. Any local
building code requirements supersede the recommended installation
instructions. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning. They
are designed to work in most existing applications however; existing
conditions may require changes to these instructions. If changes are
needed, they are made at the installer’s risk. For installations other than
indicated in these instructions, contact a building professional.

Please Note!

Any patio door installation such that the sill is higher than

35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specifically
addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer. Failure to install square, level and plumb and
on a flat surface (without peak and valleys) could result in denial of
warranty claims for operational or performance problems.

Note to Installer:

Provide a copy of these instructions to the building

owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and
conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.

OPeN-STUD CONSTRUCTION

The wall framing
needs to be covered
by backing support
before the patio door
can be installed. The
door will be mounted
with the nailing fin
flush against the
applied backing
support.
This backing support should be a non water-degradable, thin (max. 1/8"
thick) sheet material such as vinyl sheeting. Completely surround the
rough opening with the backing support as shown. Backing support
must be applied before building wrap.

This installation guide specifically addresses sheathed wall and open-
stud construction.

FULLy SHeATHeD WALL CONSTRUCTION

The wall framing is
covered by sheathing
and the door will
be mounted with
the nailing fin flush
against the sheathing.
