4 INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER

Note: The 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. The tape should extend 2" above the 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 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.

Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent water from getting behind it.
