CENTERLINE MEASUREMENT Our units are ordered based on finished centerline measurements of the location of the unit. To ensure a proper fit, a centerline should be found and marked as shown below. To start, lightly mark a continuous unit centerline on the threshold. Measurements Next, mark a continuous unit centerline up each wall, starting where the threshold centerline meets the wall. Use a level to ensure the wall centerline is plumb and straight.
1 HORIZONTAL U-CHANNEL Find the U-Channel (M). First, the channel needs to be cut to length. Determine the width of your unit’s Fixed Panel (D) and cut the U-Channel (M) 2-1/2” shorter than the width of the glass. Example: 18” Panel width - 2.5” = 15.5” Channel length Drill two 3/16” holes approximately 3” from the ends. Position the U-Channel (M) on the marked centerline of your threshold and slide it against the side wall. Mark each hole position on the threshold.
3 BOTTOM HINGE Find the Bottom Hinge (J) and place it on the threshold against the horizontal U-Channel (M). Make sure that the opening for the hinge matches the U-Channel (M) as shown below. Mark holes on the threshold then remove the Bottom Hinge (J) and drill 3/16” diameter holes approximately 1-1/2” deep (same as U-Channel (M & A) holes in steps 1 & 2). Installation Follow the same steps as securing the U-Channel (M & A) to secure the Bottom Hinge (J) to the threshold.
4 GLASS PANEL Find the Fixed Panel Glass (D) and Setting Block (1/2”) (N). Place the Setting Block (1/2”) (N) on the U-Channel (M) then stack additional 1/16” or 1/8” setting blocks if necessary to make the Fixed Panel Glass (D) plumb with the wall and level with the floor. Do not place setting blocks over screw heads. After finding the correct combination of setting blocks, the Fixed Panel Glass (D) is ready to be mounted. Take the Clear Vinyl (BB) and place it in the hinge as shown below.
5 GLAZING GASKET Spray soapy water on the glass near the U-Channel (M). Then insert the Glazing Gasket (O) as shown in the figure below. Start at the wall and push the glazing into the gap until you reach the Bottom Hinge (J) and cut off any extra. Insert one side completely first, and then the other. Installation When inserting the wall Glazing Gasket (B), start from the bottom and work your way up, any extra glazing sticking out of the top can be cut off with scissors.
7 DOOR GLASS To mount the Door Glass (F), loosen the Door Clamp Screws (EE) on both the Top Hinge (E) and Bottom Hinge (J). Next, clean the area the Door Glass (F) contacts the hinges with rubbing alcohol. Carefully slide the Door Glass (F) into the open hinge slots and tighten the Door Clamp Screws (EE). If the Door Glass (F) will not fit into the hinges, slightly loosen the Panel Clamp Screws (CC) on the top hinge to adjust the hinge position to fit the Door Glass (F).
8 SWEEP AND STRIKE-VINYL The Sweep (I) and Strike-Vinyl (G) help reduce leakage in your frameless unit and protect the door from damage. Before installation, you may be required to cut the Sweep (I) and Strike-Vinyl (G) to your unit width and height. To install, clean the wall with an alcohol swab where the vinyl will sit. Find the StrikeVinyl (G) and peel off the protective strip. Adhere the vinyl to the wall where the door is closed. The vinyl prevents the door from closing too far.
10 SEALING Run a bead of silicone along the interior edges of the U-Channels (M & A) . Run the silicone between the threshold and u-channels as shown. Installation You must wait for the silicone to fully cure before using your shower. Check tube for curing time. QCI5288 0 QCI0288 RevRev.
11 SUPPORT BAR In some applications, the unit requires installing a support bar to make the enclosure safe. The support bar attaches to the panel and screws into the wall. Note: The support bar as packaged is not cut to length. Support bars are included with every enclosure they are required on. To install, find the Panel Mount (NN) and loosen the Panel Clamp Screw (MM) and place the panel mount on the glass panel approximately 6” away from the edge of glass as shown.
