Sealing the Sill Pan to WRB
STEP 1 DETAIL - Seal the front lip of the Sill Pan to WRB or to
Drainage Skirt. Seal between the sill pan and the rough opening
by applying sealant on the bottom of the rough opening and 6”
on the sides as indicated. This should provide a barrier against
both moisture and air infiltration between the sill pan and the
rough opening. Use 5/8” thick bead of sealant.
