GLOSSARY
Not all exterior door types may be installed into every wall
condition in all areas. See our Appropriate Protection document
(JGI030) for overhang requirements at www.jeld-wen.com. Consult
your local building code ofcial (or Authority having jurisdiction)
for applicable building codes and regulations. Local building code
requirements supersede recommended installation instructions.
PLEASE NOTE: Any door installation such that the sill is higher than
35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specically
addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer. We recommend that all non pre-nished wood
or berglass components be nished with an appropriate paint or
stain prior to installation. See our Finishing document for details at
www.jeld-wen.com. Failure to properly nish or install square,
level and plumb and on a at surface (without peak and valleys)
could result in denial of warranty claims for operational or
performanceproblems.
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Provide a copy of these instructions to the
building owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the
terms and conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms
of the sale.

Glossary
Backer Rod (backing material)
A material (e.g. foam rod) placed into a joint primarily to control the depth
and shape of the sealant. Also serves as a bond breaker.
Buck
A code compliant framework built into a door or window opening in a
concrete or masonry wall to which the door or window frame is secured.
Continuous Air Seal
A continuous seal put into the air gap area around the interior side of the
fenestration perimeter to restrict inltration or ex-ltration of air past the
fenestration product.
Pilot Hole
A drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus
thethreads).
Rough Opening (RO)
The opening in a wall into which a window or door is to be installed.
Self-Adhered Flashing
Flexible facing materials coated completely or partially on at least one
side with an adhesive material and which do not depend on mechanical
fasteners for attachment. They are used to bridge the joint (gap) between
fenestration framing members and the adjacent weather resistive barriers
or sealed drainage plane material. The purpose of ashing is to drain
water away from the fenestration product to the exterior.
Shiplap
The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so that
water runs down the outside.
Sill Pan
A type of ashing used at the base of the rough opening to divert water
to the exterior or the exterior surface of a concealed WRB. Sill pans have
upturned legs at the rear interior edge (back dam) and right and left
sides (end dams), to form a three-sided pan that has the front open for
drainage. They are intended to collect and drain water toward the exterior,
including water that may enter through the door unit or around the door
(between the rough opening and the fenestration). Sill pans can be made
from self-adhered ashing or from a rigid or semi-rigid material, such as
metal or a semi-rigid polymer.
Please allow sufcient time to properly prepare the rough opening,
install the door, and ensure its proper operation.
