Series 433 Triple Set Installation Instructions
SECTION V: Door Frame Installation
Step 3) Subsill Installation at Door Opening
Before installing the subsill to the door frame, seal the end of the subsill with a silicone
type sealant. Install the subsill and tool all excess sealant into the joint where the
subsill and door jamb meet. If required, add more sealant to create a smooth
watertight seal. At the glazing pockets, a build-up of silicone sealant must be used to
fill the depth of the pocket up to the level of the subsill at the glazing area. See below
for sealant application at the subsill to door jamb joint.
NOTE: Fill the glazing pocket of the door jamb flush with the silicone sealant to the
tallest portion of the subsill that bridges the glazing pocket. Tool the silicone sealant
so a watertight seal is made, so that water will be directed out of the glazing pocket
and into the subsill.
