Standard Installation: Beginning in the first hole from the fin corner, drive 2" galvanized roofing nails into every other pre-punched hole in the nailing fin. Drive four additional nails through the head and sill fin at the fixed interlock location. Space the nails 2" on center and position them so there are two nails on each side of the interlocker. Drive the nails until the head contacts the fin, however do not sink the head. This will allow for movement of building material.

High Performance Installation: Beginning in the first hole from the fin corner, insert a #8 x 1-1/2" corrosion resistant screw with a 3/4" outside diameter flat washer into every hole of the installation fin. Drive four additional screws through the head and sill fin at the fixed interlock location. Space the screws 2" on center and position them so there are two screws on each side of the interlocker. Drive the screws until the head/washer contacts the fin, however do not sink the washer. This will allow for movement of building material.

4 INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER

A.Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 4" longer than the frame height of the door. Apply one piece to each side over the nailing fin and onto the water resistive barrier. The tape should extend 2" above the top of the door and 2"

below the bottom of the door. Press the tape down firmly.

{

B.Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape long 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 over the

top nailing fin as shown. Press the

 

tape down firmly.

{

Note: The tape should cover the entire nailing fin, but not extend onto the door frame. The top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent water from getting behind it.

C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (4C).

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the water resistive barrier. Apply the tape, covering the entire diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at both upper corners of the door. Press the tape down firmly.

Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (4D).

E. Attach wood blocking to the exterior of the opening to support the edge of the door sill.
