Subject to the following adaptations of the sill in the field by others:

1. Remove the gaskets covering the inner channel.
2. Drill weep holes through the bottom of the channel and drill weep holes from the middle channel to the exterior bottom hollow in sill (about one 5/16'' weep hole per panel).
3. Drill weep holes through the lower front face of sill to the inner channel bottom  (3/8” weep hole per panel).

Please note that due to the varying site requirements and conditions, these sills will not be prepared for drainage by NanaWall. If this drainage system is desired, we recommend that qualified professionals construct this system on the project site strictly in accordance with instructions provided by NanaWall and in accordance with good waterproofing techniques, if drain connections are not made or not possible, unit may leak with wind driven rain.

UniverSILL transforms a Low Profile Saddle sill to obtain a better water rating when needed and to be easily removed when not required. To meet a water rating with the UniverSILL, the following needs to be done in the field by others:

1. Weepholes and drainage as described for the low profile saddle sill (minimum needed are weepholes from the middle channel).
2. Remove the gasket covering the inner channel and insert the UniverSILL.
3. Seals at ends at the side jambs.
