Installation Instructions Euro-C3/C5 NOTE: A MAXIMUM HEADER DEFLECTION IS 3/`16 1. Caulk all connection points between the sill and the header using high quality water sealing caulk 2. Predrill screw bosses in the sill and header using a 11/64 drill bit 3. Line up milled holes in jam with header and sill and predrill jam holes as required to line up with screw bosses in header and sill 4. Verify that you have caulked the joints so that all connections are sealed 5. Screw 2 # 12 screws SS ( as provided ) into screw bosses. It is highly recommended that you use soap, bees wax or lubricant on the screws so the head does not strip out. It is recommended that you use a light impact screw gun which if used properly, will reduce the stripping out of the softer SS screws 6. Prior to installing the frame make sure that if you require a weep for the frame that you drill the weep using 5 /16 drill bit (At least 1 weep every 24 in length) If the frame is not embedded and the front of the sill is exposed the drilling should be on the front edge of the exterior location and should be drilled thru both walls in the sill so that water from both channels can weep out to the front and drain to the exterior 7. If the sill is and partially or fully recessed in the floor, then the weeps need to be drilled out at the bottom of the both channels in the aluminum extrusion. A tubing system or under floor drain may be required. 8. This is a top hung system, the header must be plumb and level prior to installing, use level and laser if needed to verify that the frame is plumb and level before screwing in all screws. Use shims at every pre-drilled screw location. 9. Once you have verified the frame location, drilled the weeps (if required). 10. Prior to installing the frame you must caulk the sill using a figure 8 pattern so that there is always two rows of caulk under the sill. 11. Prior to installing the door verify interior heights from header to sill are the same throughout the system and that the jams, header and sill are plumb level and square 12. All holes drilled for screws should be be vacuumed out and filled with sealant caulk to prevent water egressing under the sill 13. After all screws are installed, caulk should be spread over the top to seal, then (after inspection) the vinyl channel liner should be placed in the sill 14. Install the weatherstrip on the frame as shown in the install guide 15. Installing the doors: identify the door # 1 and adjust the hinges as need to that you can hang the panels. Verify that you have the proper gaps from both the header and sill on the first door before you connect door number 2 16. Hang door # 1 from the hanger hinge and connect to door number one using the proper hinges. See hinge layout for your door system step A.1) Assemble Bottom corner 3 / #10 x 2 (Square PH) Pre-caution: it is recommended to use screw wax to prevent NOTE: screw from it is snapping. recommended to use screw wax to prevent screw from snapping NOTE: When joining two header tracks together do not butt joint - MUST be a 45 degree miter cut.

step A.3) Apply Horizontal Frame weather seal Header Slide Pile-Fin Weather Seal (non-adhesive) into the slot. Cut weather-strip ends at 90 degrees. Tip: In order to insert Weather Seal smoothly, apply paraffin wax in Weather Seal grooves. NOTE: When joining two header tracks together do not butt joint - MUST be a 45 degree miter cut. When joining two sill tracks together do NOT butt joint - MUST be a 45 degree miter cut. step A.4) Apply vertical Frame weather seal Header Cut vertical Weather Seal ends at 45 degree angle to match horizontal weather-stripping. Apply minimal amount of clear silicone between 45 degree angled cut ends and horizontal Weather Seal. r C5 Thermal Break Needs to be drilled for shoot bolt Sill liner to be installed after inspection sill C3/C5 Enhanced and C3/C5 Storm apply Weather Seal on frame. 3
