The ALUMAX 700 Continuous-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.

Place one of the wall jambs [B] against the wall with
the bottom end 3/16" from the raised side of the curb [A].
Plumb the jamb and mark the hole locations on the wall.
Repeat for the other wall jamb. Remove all parts and drill
the walls for mounting hardware.
For tile or marble walls, drill six 3/16" diameter holes and
insert the plastic wall anchors [C]. A center punch helps
locate the holes accurately.
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 3/16"
holes and install plastic wall anchors or toggle bolts
(toggle bolts not supplied by A
LUMAX).

NOTE: The 700 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.
