Important Safety Information:
Pella®HurricaneShield®Products have been tested in accordance with the large missile impact
testing requirements have been certified to meet those requirements. Check with the individual
(building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer) responsible for the project in
addition to local building code officials to determine if these products comply with local codes.
Pella HurricaneShield Products are neither hurricane proof nor are they shatter proof. Severe wind
and rain may produce temporary conditions which exceed product performance standards. When
these units are subjected to intense storms or extreme conditions, which exceed the intended
design pressures, air, water and flying debris infiltration may occur.
These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction
in a wall system designed to manage water. These instructions are not to be used with any
other construction method. Installation instructions for use with other construction methods,
multiple units or bow and bay windows, may be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella
retailer, or by visiting http://www.pella.com.Building designs, construction methods, building
materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method different
from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation method is the
responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To achieve maximum door performance, the performance upgrade
installation may be required. Additional performance information may be obtained from your
Pella retailer of www.pella.com. All HurricaneShield doors are required to use the Performance
Upgrade Installation steps contained within this instruction.
Always read the Pella®Limited Warranty before purchasing or installing Pella
products. By installing this product, you are acknowledging that this Limited
Warranty is part of the terms of the sale. Failure to comply with all Pella installation and
maintenance instructions may void your Pella product warranty. See Limited Warranty for

SEALANT
The performance of any building is dependent upon the design, installation, and workmanship
of the entire building system. Pella Corporation strongly recommends consulting an
experienced architect, contractor, or structural engineer prior to installation of Pella products.
The individual (building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer) responsible
for the project must take into account local conditions, building codes, inherent component
limitations, the effects of aging and weathering on building components, and other design
issues relevant to each project.
The determination of the suitability of all building components for each project, as well as the
design and installation of flashing and sealing systems, are the responsibility of the building
owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer.

A. Confirm the opening is plumb and level.
Note: It is critical that the bottom is level.
B. Confirm the door will fit the opening. Measure
all four sides of the opening to make sure it is 3/4"
larger than the door in width and 1/2" larger in height.
Measure the width at the top, bottom, and center.
Measure the height at the far left side, the far right
side, and in the center.
Note: 1-1/2" or more of solid wood blocking is
required around the perimeter of the opening.
Fix any problems with the rough opening before
proceeding.
C. Cut the water resistive barrier.

D. Fold the water resistive barrier. Fold side flaps into the
opening and staple to inside wall. Fold top flap up and
temporarily fasten with flashing tape.
For Doors Using Optional Sill Pan Go To Step 1I.
E. Apply sill flashing tape #1. Cut a piece of flashing tape 12"
longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom of the
opening as shown (1E) so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.
Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width so that it
will extend 6" up each side of the opening.
F. Tab the sill flashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at
each corner (1/2" from each side of corner) (1F). Fold tape
to the exterior and press firmly to adhere it to the water
resistive barrier.
G. Apply sill flashing tape #2. Cut a piece of flashing tape
12" longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom,
overlapping tape #1 by at least 1". DO NOT allow the tape to
extend past the interior face of the framing (1G).
In-swing doors: If the wall depth is greater than 5", add a
third piece of flashing tape. The flashing tape should come to
within 1" of the interior face of the framing.
Note: The flashing tape may not fully cover the
framing members.

L. Bend each end of the center
panel up.
J. Make a 1" cut in each fold at both ends of the sill pan.
Note: These cuts will allow the edges of the sill pan to be bent.
K. Cut 1" off each end of the
interior sill pan lip.
M. Install the sill pan by sliding
into place until the exterior sill
pan lip is flush with the exterior
of the rough opening.
N. Apply sill flashing tape. Cut a piece
of flashing tape 2" longer than the
opening width. Apply at the bottom of the
opening, covering the exterior sill pan lip
as shown.
Note: If applicable, apply spray
adhesive to building felt prior to
applying the flashing tape.
O. Cut two 9" pieces of flashing tape with a 1" x 3"
tab at the bottom, on opposite corners as shown.
P. Apply the tabbed 9" pieces of flashing tape.
The tape is applied so 2" will cover the inside of
the rough opening and lap over the side flange
of the sill pan. The 1" x 3" tab 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 as shown.
R. Cut a piece of flashing tape to the width of the opening. Install to the flanges of
the sill pan and overlap the tape from step 1N by 1”. If needed add a second or third
piece of flashing tape until the sill pan is covered to the interior sill pan lip.
Note: The purpose of this tape is to seal the sill screws when installing the door.
S. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 1-1/2" x
6" and apply to the bottom corners of the
opening by beginning in the corner of the sill
pan, with 3/4" of the tape applied to the sill
pan and 3/4" of the tape applied to the side
flange. The remainder of the tape is to be at a
45 degree angle onto the exterior.
