Installation Instructions

11
For non-DP installations, skip to Page 14.
The weather resistant barrier (WRB) that was cut
and taped back to allow door installation, must be
resealed to the wall and door frame. Weather
barrier self-adhering tape must be applied to
the wall and door nailing fin before resealing
the WRB.
Do not cut into vinyl nailing
fin or vinyl frame while trim-
ming weather resistant barrier. Damage to
vinyl may adversely affect structural or water
integrity.
1. One section at a time, untape and fold weather
resistant barrier over nailing fin and up against
door frame. Use a utility knife or scissors and
carefully trim WRB alongside the door frame
(FIGURE 1). When trimmed, WRB must lay flat
against sheathing, overlap the nailing fin, and fit
tightly against the door frame. After trimming and
dry-fitting, tape WRB back out of the way. Repeat
for each section of WRB.
Preparation
Pre-Cut Tape
1. For the sides, cut two pieces of weather barrier
self-adhering tape that are 9" wide and 17-1/2"
taller than the door (FIGURE 2).
Cut the head piece 8-1/2" tall and long enough to
span the door, the two side tapes and an extra 2"
(FIGURE 2).
Do not apply tape yet. Perform following
caulking instructions first.
