FRAMED DOOR WITH INLINE PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS QCI0004 QCI5004 Rev 0 Page 1 Certified 06/21/2016
MAINTENANCE: Two primary materials are used to manufacture your new bath enclosure: tempered glass and anodized aluminum. To assure a long lasting finish on the enclosure, wipe it down with a towel after each use. Never use a scouring agent to clean the aluminum. For occasional, more concentrated cleaning efforts, we find that Lysol Bathroom Cleaner works extremely well. Be sure that any over spray falling on the aluminum frame is rinsed thoroughly and dried.

1 The framed DOOR / PANEL Shower Enclosure is completely reversible and may be installed pivot-left or pivot-right. The door may pivot from the wall or from the center post. For maximum waterproofing, the pivot jamb should be opposite the showerhead. Using the diagram, to determine the correct position for the door in your particular installation. This instruction sheet depicts a pivot-right installation.
4 Wipe the shower walls and sill, curb [A] and wall jambs [B] with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. Apply a 1/4” bead of caulk along the inside of both of the pencil lines marked in Step #2. Carefully replace the curb in the exact position marked. Caulk the inside of the curb where it meets the wall. #8 x 1/2” SCREW CAULK WALL JAMB CURB Replace both wall jambs and attach to the walls with six #8 x 1 1/2” truss head screws [D].
7 Press the header [H] over the wall jambs [B] and the 180° post [G]. Plumb the post, moving it laterally as required to maintain proper coverage on the fixed glass panel [F]. The minimum horizontal dimension for the door opening is the door panel width (see the graphic in Step #8) plus 1/2”, maximum is the door panel width plus 1 3/4”. Using the holes in the ends of the header and curb as a guide, drill four 1/8” holes into the wall jambs.
10 Pull the bottom of the pivot jamb [M] tight to the curb filler [P] and plumb the jamb. Drill two 1/8” 0 holes thru the pivot jamb and into the wall jamb [B] 3/8” to 3/4” from the wall and approximately 1/4” vertically from the ends of the jamb. Drill a third hole centered between the first two and enlarge the outer holes with a 3/16” drill for clearance on the self-tapping screws. Attach the pivot jamb permanently with three #8 x 1/4” truss head screws [J].
13 TAPE Clean the bottom door rail and the drip rail thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to ensure proper adhesion. Unroll the double stick tape [V] and carefully apply it to the back of the drip rail (do not peel the tape backing yet). BOTTOM RAIL DRIP RAIL (ALIGN) DRIP VINYL Insert the tapered drip vinyl [T] into the drip rail.
16 Inspect the pieces of black glazing vinyl, and note the two different profiles. The smaller shape [EE] is installed vertically and the larger shape [FF] is installed horizontally. For structural strength and maximum water resistance, these vinyls are designed to fit tightly between the glass and framing. To speed installation, use glass cleaner for lubrication and a small block of wood to press the vinyl into place.
19 Carefully caulk the interior jamb-to-wall and curb-to-base joints. For appearance, you may wish to caulk the exterior joints as well. We recommend you wait twenty-four hours before the first shower to allow the caulking to cure properly. Note: Do not caulk over weep holes 20 INTERIOR FACE OF HEADER Peel off the backing on the decal [GG] and apply to the inside surface of the header.
