Step 7
Unfold the Header WRB and lap
over the drip cap as shown.
Tape the corner cuts with
builders tape to make sure there
is continuity of the WRB over the
flashing.
If your door is going to be exposed
to direct rainwater and wind, it
would be best to use a second
flexible flashing seal — over the
WRB which is over the first layer
of flexible flashing.
This second layer of flashing
should be lapped to direct water
down and out of the wall. 
If the door is above grade, you
may want to install a weep screed
along the sill, between the lip of
the sill pan and the exterior fin-
ish, as shown. This will make
sure any water underneath the
sill pan can drain as well.
Step 7A
The brickmould trim outside many
entry doors acts like a mounting
flange, but it’s dimensions make
for some differences in installation.
Follow Steps 1 through 5.
Place brickmould trimmed door
into opening with the brickmould
trim against the wall, which has
caulk over the flexible flashing.
Anchor door as instructed by the
manufacturer’s instructions.
