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. It may be necessary to file a radius
on the ends of the tub track and wall jambs to match the
corners of the enclosure.
Press both wall jambs [B] into position over the tub track.
Masking tape can be used to hold the parts in place
temporarily.
2
Use a level to plumb both wall jambs [B],
then mark the pre-drilled hole locations on the
wall. Lightly mark along both sides of the tub
track [A] with a pencil, then remove all parts.
For tile or marble walls, drill six 3/16" diameter
holes and insert the plastic wall anchors [C].
Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic units can be
made in two ways. If a reinforcement is built into
the wall of unit, drill six 1/8" holes to install
mounting screws directly into the reinforcement.
If walls are not reinforced, drill six 3/16" holes and
install plastic wall anchors or toggle bolts (toggle
bolts not supplied by A
LUMAX).
CAUTION: The track should never be screwed to
the tub. This will damage the tub and cause
leakage.
3
Before replacing the tub track [A], force a
slight downward bow in the extrusion. This will
ensure the track fits tight to the tub. Run two
beads of caulk inside the penciled marks on the
tub rim. Place the tub track in the exact position
marked in Step #2 and seat it firmly in the caulking.
NOTE: Improper caulking will result in leaks.
