D. Apply flashing tape to the diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of

flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the 5E 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.

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 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. This will allow room for expansion of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. 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 hours) before proceeding to the next step.

Note: It may be necessary to squeeze the end of the tube with pliers to be able to insert into the space between the door frame and the rough opening. DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin to the interior face of the door.
