STEP 3) SUBSILL SEALANT AT DOOR FRAME
Before installing the subsill to the door frame, seal the end of the
subsill with Dow Corning 795 or equivalent 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. Do
not build up excess sealant as it will keep the sill member of the frame
pushed away from the jamb if allowed to cure before the sidelite
frame is installed. At the glazing pockets, a build up of 795 sealant
must be used to fill the depth of the pocket up to the level of the
subsill at the glazing area. See figure 13 below for sealant application
at the subsill to door jamb joint.
NOTE: Fill the glazing pocket of the door jamb flush with
the 795 sealant to the tallest portion of the subsill that
bridges the glazing pocket. Tool the silicone so a
watertight seal is made, and so that water will be directed
out of the glazing pocket and into the subsill.
