1 Measure the wall-to-wall opening at the center of the tub rim. Cut the tub track [A] 1/16" short of this dimension. An inexpensive miter box (available at your local hardware store) will help you get clean square cuts. If the vinyl silencer (X) is separate from the tub track (A) slide the silencer into the slot in the tub track. Position the tub track in the center of the tub rim with the tall leg to the exterior.
4 Replace one wall jamb [B] and attach to wall with two #8 x 1 1/2" truss head screws [D] inserted through the top and bottom holes. Slip a nylon spacer [E] over a #8 x 1 1/2" truss head screw and install in the center hole of the wall jamb. Check jamb for plumb and tighten screws. NOTE: Do not overtighten the jamb screws. 5 This bath enclosure is equipped with safety tee-lock wall jambs. When properly installed, the header is permanently locked to the wall jambs and cannot be accidentally dislodged.
7 Lift the interior panel (with the rough surface closest to the top fin) into position with the rollers engaging the roller slot in the header [F]. Repeat for the exterior panel (rough surface away from the top fin). If the door panels are not parallel to the wall jambs, remove them from the header and adjust the rollers up or down to compensate. 8 Before finishing the installation it is necessary to determine the proper closed position of the doors.
10 Attach a towel bar assembly (with the open slot in the bar downward) to the interior panel with a #10-24 x 7/8" truss head screw [N] thru the inner rail. Insert a #10-24 x 1 1/8" flat head screw [P] thru an acrylic finger pull [R], thru the outer rail and into the outer towel bar bracket. Peel the backing from a A LUMAX decal [S] press it into the recess in the acrylic finger pull. Repeat for the exterior door panel. NOTE: Do not overtighten the towel bar screws.
13 Caulk both ends of the tub track [A] where it meets the wall jambs [B] and the interior edge of the wall jambs as shown. Run a bead of caulking along the interior edge of the tub track. NOTE: We recommend that you let the caulk cure for 24 hours before using your new enclosure. The Care and Cleaning of your new A LUMAX Bath Enclosure.
