Installation Site SpecificationsDocument Use This document is a set-up guide to support the door’s Opening Preparation and Installation Instructions. Information in this document assists in the construction of the rough opening. It does not constitute actual wall fabrication, construction, or material recommendations. This document identifies considerations that must be taken into account in the construction of the rough opening. Andersen has no obligation to perform any on-site inspection, before, during, or after construction and installation.

Code Compliance Compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes, and safety requirements with regard to Andersen specifications or use of the door is the responsibility of the architect, building owner, installer and/or contractor.

Product Protection Store the door and any accessories off the ground, fully supported, under cover, protected from weather and construction activities. Protect uncartoned components. Continue to protect door from construction activities and floor traffic after installation.

Construction by Others Andersen is not responsible for conditions in or performance of the building construction adjacent to and beyond the perimeter of the door. The method of attachment for the door to the building structure and the fastener selection is the responsibility of the architect, building owner, installer and/or contractor. In door replacement situations, Andersen is not responsible to inspect the site or door rough opening to approve the structural integrity of the existing rough opening, header load carrying capabilities, or overall rough opening fitness for door installation.

Installation Site Specifications (continued)Floor · Floor must be structurally sound, flat, and level the entire frame width and depth and have a load carrying capacity of 100 pounds per lineal foot and a maximum deflection of 1/16" over the span of the opening after loading.

Fastening Head Jamb and Side Jamb(s) · Fasteners (#10 x 2-1/2" flat head screw - supplied, 1/8" drill bit and countersink for pilot hole - by others) must attach to a wood structural framing member with a 1-1/2" minimum fastener embedment, or 3 full threads of engagement - (#12 self-drilling pan head screw - by others) in structural steel studs. Sill Fasteners - (Low-Profile and Tile Track Sills Only) · Fasteners (#10 x 2-1/2" flat head screw - supplied) must attach to a wood structural framing member with a 1-1/2" minimum fastener embedment, or 3/16” x 1-3/4" in masonry with a 1-1/4" minimum fastener embedment. Masonry fasteners must be set back a minimum of 1-1/2" from the concrete slab’s edge.

Sill Support · Sill must be supported full depth. See structural support options below, where the existing slab/floor does not extend far enough to support the full depth of the sill. · Sill Support material is supplied by others.

Installation Site Specifications (continued)Multi-Slide Door Dimensions Door dimensions are to the outer most exterior of the door frame components for Multi-Slide doors. The Multi-Slide door and rough opening dimensions are generated in the quoting tool.

Rough Opening Dimensions Rough opening dimension references shown are the dimensions recommended for proper installation as instructed. These dimensions may need to be increased to allow for use of building wraps, flashings, sill panning, brackets, fasteners or other items within the rough opening. The rough opening is to be constructed in such a way as to provide structural framing members at all anchoring locations for fastening the head and side jambs. The header must be constructed in such a manner as to allow a maximum deflection of 1/8" over the span of the opening when the header is fully loaded. Due to the large jamb depths, make sure the sides of the rough opening are square to the exterior wall. Rough Opening Dimensions are: · Multi-Slide Door (On-Floor Drainage, Low-Profile, and Tile Track Sills) - 1/2" wider and 1/2" higher than the door dimensions. Header Height · Multi-Slide Door (Low-Profile Sill) - Rough opening header height is measured from the top of the slab or floor sheathing. · Multi-Slide Door (Tile Track Sill) - Rough opening header height is measured from the bottom of the dap-out, which is 1" below the top of the finished floor. If you deviate from the 1" dap-out dimension you must calculate for the difference. · Multi-Slide Door (On-Floor Drainage Sill) - Rough opening header height is measured from the bottom of the dap-out, which is 1-1/2" below the top of the finished floor. If you deviate from the 1-1/2" dap-out dimension you must calculate for the difference.

Multi-Slide Door with Third Party Automation Multi-Slide doors can be accessorized with third party automation. Verify automation requirements.
