The Alumax 300c Continous Hinge Shower
Door is completely reversible and may be installed
hinge-left or hinge-right. Refer to the illustration to
determine the correct position for your installation.
For maximum waterproofing, the hinge jamb should
always be opposite the shower head. These instructions
depict a hinge-left installation.
CAUTION: For safety, the door must always open
outward.

NOTE: The 300c unit may be installed without
using the sloped curb [A] provided. Its use is definitely
recommended for positive water control on shower
sills with little or no slope.
Measure the wall-to-wall opening at the shower sill
and cut the curb to the exact length. File the ends of
curb as necessary to fit the corner contours of the
enclosure. Place the curb on the shower sill with the
raised portion to the exterior of the enclosure. Make
sure the curb is centered on the sill and lightly mark its
position on the sill with a pencil.
Remove the curb from the sill and run two beads of
caulk inside the penciled marks on the shower sill.
Place the curb in the exact position marked and seat it
firmly in the caulking.

NOTE: Obscure glass doors should be installed
with the rough surface of the glass to the exterior of the
unit. Silk Screened or etched glass doors should be
installed with the patterned surface to the inside.
Determine which end of the door will be the bottom.
Using a mallet or a hammer and wood block (never a
hammer alone), carefully drive the bottom rail over
the bottom edge of the glass and vinyl, snug to the
factory installed vertical rail. Bottom rail should be set
back from the strike edge of the door. Trim the excess
vinyl even with the ends of the rails.
