NEEDED MATERIALS
Note! Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for proper use
and compatibility. When using ashing, spray adhesive/primer, sealant
and foam products, we recommend using the same manufacturer and
verifying compatibility.
• 3/16" masonry screws (such as Tapcon
®
) for sill installation onto
concrete. Screws must penetrate at least 1 1/2" into substrate.
• Non-compressible or water degradable shims.
• Sill pan: It is best practice to use a pre-formed, rigid, positively sloped, pvc
pan that provides continuous support. We recommend using SureSill™
Sloped Sill Pan™ , manufactured by SureSill™, Ltd. An alternative would
be a non-sloped pre-formed sill pan or one can be fabricated on site
from metal or vinyl sheet material with the proper tools.
• Sealant: We recommend OSI
®
QUAD
®
Max Sealant or equivalent. This
can be used in any application and can be painted or ordered in a
color matched product, if desired.
• Backer rod 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead).

OSI
®
QUAD

• Drip cap if required because of door location and exposure. Doors with
an adequate overhang (see our Appropriate Protection document at
