NANAWALL WD66 OWNER’S MANUAL

If any anchorage or drain connection holes are made 
through these drain channels, make sure that they are 
properly sealed to prevent any water leakage. The open 
ends of these drain channels at each end of the sill 
should also be properly sealed.

 Alternative anchoring 

systems for the sill (without using screws through the 
drain channels) are using L brackets attached to both 
sides of the sill.

6. For better performance and protection, any exterior

folding system should be installed under an overhang
or with other similar protection.

7.

For better performance it is recommended that
all dead loads such as upper levels, roof, etc. be
constructed before a unit is installed.

Properly flash and waterproof around the perimeter 
of the opening, especially at the sill. Make sure you 
seek proper professional advice for the appropriate 
construction needed for your particular application. DO 
not install unit in structures that do not allow for proper 
management/drainage of moisture.

To avoid future problems, do not install your unit until the 
rough opening has been correctly prepared.
