Optional Sill Pan Instructions:

I. 

Cut the sill pan

 to the width of the rough opening plus 2".

Note: The 2" added onto the rough opening width is for a 1" bend on each end.

J. 

Make a 1" cut in each fold

 at both end of the sill pan.

Note: These cuts will allow the edges of the sill pan to be bent.
Note: 4-5/8" wide for Out-Swing and In-Swing for 4-9/16" wall condition. For other 

wall conditions, measure wall depth and add 1/16".

laps over the bottom flashing tape as shown.

apply to each side of the rough opening,

 

overlapping the first piece by 1" and lapping 

the bottom over the side flange of the sill pan
