7. Fold the three back
sides up to make a
3-sided box, and, for
step-down landings,
fold the front
flap down.
INSTALL SILL PAN
1. If installing a metal
sill pan on concrete,
cut a piece of self-
adhesive flashing
the length of the sill
pan and adhere it to
the entire bottom
surface where the
pan will sit on
the concrete.
2. Set the sill pan in
the rough opening,
aligning the front
edge (for continuous
slab) or folded down
edge (for step down)
with the exterior of
the rough opening.
3. Mark a line across
the front and back of
the sill pan.
4. Apply three 3/8"
beads of sealant
between the lines.
5. Place the sill pan in the rough opening. Firmly press the sill pan into
the sealant with a J-roller.
The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend
SureSill
™
Sloped Sill Pan
™
available from SureSill at www.suresill.com,
building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations. As an
alternative, a sill pan can be fabricated on site. If installing a SureSill
™
sill
pan, follow SureSill
™
’s instructions for installation and skip to section 4
“PREPARE BUCK“, or to section 5, “PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL“ as it
applies to your situation. If fabricating a sill pan on the job site, follow
the instructions below.
JOBSITE FABRICATED SILL PAN
1. Cut a piece of sheet
material to the

2. Lightly crease folding
lines 1/2" in from the
two short sides and
one long side.
3. Measure the width
of the frame and
add 9/16".
4. Take this distance
from the back edge
and lightly crease a
folding line across
the sheet material.
5. For step-down
landings, cut 1/2"
in at this line on
both sides of the
sheet material.
6. For continuous slab, cut across the folding line.

STUD-FRAMED WALL.”
1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck
and the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head
and jambs (apply over sill pan if installing a job site fabricated sill
pan) with liquid applied flashing per manufacture’s instructions
as shown.
