INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE
WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER
Note: e flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto
the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the tape
at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it easier to
apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust
the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant line will cover the
exterior edge of the tape.

A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 4"
longer than the frame height of the door. Apply one piece 1/2"
onto the frame cladding, over the nailing fin and onto the water
resistive barrier on each side. e tape should extend 2" above the
Exterior
top of the door and 2" below the bottom of the door. Press the
tape down firmly while folding down the excess tape at the top
and bottom of the door.
B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape long
4A
enough to go across the top of the door and extend at least 1"
past the side flashing tape on both sides. Apply the tape 1/2"
onto the frame cladding, over the top nailing fin as shown. Fold
the overlapping tape down, and press all tape down firmly.
4B
Note: e top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape
to prevent water from getting behind it.

included in the handle box for final adjustments.
C. Install screen. Instructions for installing the screen are found in the screen door package.
6INTERIOR SEAL
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams
and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of high
pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door frame to bow and
hinder operation.
A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert the
Interior
nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep into the space
between the door and the rough opening and apply a 1" deep
bead of foam. If using foam other than Great Stuff ™ Window
and Door Insulating Foam Sealant by the Dow Chemical
Company, allow the foam to cure completely (usually 8 to 24
6A
hours) before proceeding to the next step.
Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the
fin to the interior face of the opening.
B. Check the door operation by opening and closing the door.
Note: If the door does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level, square
and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam with a
serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.
