4INTEgRATINg THE DOOR TO THE
wATER RESISTIVE BARRIER
A. apply side ashing tape. Cut two pieces of ashing
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.
Note: e ashing 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.

B. apply top ashing tape. Cut a piece of ashing tape
long enough to go across the top of the door and extend
at least 1" past the side ashing tape on both sides.
Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the
top nailing n as shown. Fold the overlapping tape
down, and press all tape down rmly.

C. Fold down top ap of
water resistive barrier.
D. apply ashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of ashing 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.
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners.
