Installation Instructions for Replacement of Aluminum Sliding Doors in Hard Coat Stucco
Applications in arid climates.

The installation must leave the existing aluminum door frame and weep system in place. These
instructions are not to be used with any other construction method and rely on the integrity
of the existing aluminum sliding door and flashing system. 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. If you
have questions, please contact your local Pella retailer.
