AFTER INSTALLATION
• Ensure weep holes/channels are clear of debris for proper water
drainage. Do not seal weep holes/channels.
• Install exterior wall surface per manufactures’ guidelines.
• Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between
door frame and final exterior wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.). For a
finished look and additional protection, seal this gap on the sides with
backer rod and sealant. If sealant is applied above the drip cap ensure
the sealant bead is discontinuous to allow for drainage.
• Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc.
by covering the unit with plastic.

or backer rod and sealant.
