INSTALL SILL PAN
3
The sill can be prepared using one of two methods: We recommend
SureSill
™
Sloped Sill Pan
™
available from SureSill at www.suresill.com,
building supply stores, and some manufacturing locations or fabricate a
sill pan on site. If installing a SureSill
™
sill pan, follow SureSill’s instructions
for installation and skip to section 4 “PREPARE BUCK“, or to section 5,
“PREPARE STUD-FRAMED WALL“ as it applies to your situation. If
fabricating a sill pan on the job site, follow the instructions below.
Jobsite Fabricated Sill Pan
1. Cut a piece of sheet material
to the length shown.
2. Lightly crease folding lines
1/2" in from the two short
sides and one longside.
3. Measure the width of the sill
(5 5/8") and add9/16".
NOTE: If jamb extension has
been applied to the frame it
may need to be modied in
a manner to allow for a sill
pan to make contact with
the interior part of the sill.
4. Take this distance from the
back edge and lightly crease
a folding line across the
sheet material.
5. For step-down landings, cut 1/2" in at this line on both sides of the
sheetmaterial.
6. For continuous slab, cut
across the foldingline.
7. Fold the three back sides up
to make a 3-sided box, and
for step-down landings, fold
the front ap down.
Install Sill Pan
1. Set the sill pan in the rough
opening, aligning the front
edge (for continuous slab)
or folded down edge (for
step-down) with the exterior
of the rough opening.
2. Mark a line across the front
and back of the sillpan.
Remove sill pan from
opening and set aside.
3. Apply three 3/8" beads of
sealant between the lines.
4. Place the sill pan in the
rough opening. Firmly press
the sill pan into the sealant
with a J-roller.

PREPARE BUCK
4
NOTE: This section applies to installations into a buck only. For
installations into a stud-framed wall, begin with section 5, “PREPARE
STUD-FRAMED WALL.”
1. Seal any joint larger than 1/16" in the buck and between the buck and
the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head and
jambs (apply over sill pan if installing a job site fabricated sill pan) with
liquid applied or self-adhered ashing. If using self-adhered ashing,
follow manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate use of primers and
other application methods.
