6. Cut a piece of self-
adhesive flashing
the length of the sill
and apply over the
entire sill pan. For
step down landings,
fold flashing down
as shown. For
continuous slabs,
trim flush with
rough opening.
7. Cut two pieces
of self-adhesive
flashing 6" wide by
the sill pan width +
3" long.
a. For continuous
slab landings
only, cut out the
inside corner.
b. Adhere the
pieces of
flashing to the
inside corners.
Stretch flashing
as needed to
cover corners
and lay flat.
8. Smooth gaps or
bubbles beneath
self-adhesive
flashing with a
J-roller (remove
and replace if
necessary).
9. Seal back corners
of sill pan with
sealant.
End of Stud-Framed
Wall Instructions,
continue with section
6, “INSTALL DOOR.”
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
Completely remove the old door unit. Verify rough opening is
structurally sound.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP
Verify these steps are allowed by the building wrap manufacturer.
1. Trim building wrap
flush with the
edges of the rough
opening.
2. If the door extends
beyond the exterior
plain of the
building and a drip
cap is desired, at the
head, slit building
wrap 6" at 45°.
Tape up as shown.
We recommend
installing a drip cap
because this integrates the building wrap and drip cap to protect
the structure and the product from incidental water.
3. Trim the sides sufficiently to allow the nailing fin to be mounted
against the sheathing.
Note!
The rest of the steps in this section only apply to a job site
fabricated sill pan. If installing a sill pan that you have purchased,
follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and skip to section 6,
“INSTALL DOOR.”
4. 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.
5. Apply spray adhesive/primer to the sill pan and surrounding area.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application methods.
