Installation steps NOTE: This manual will describe the shower door installation. Follow the same sequence of installation steps for the tub door installation. d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All 1. Check the threshold for level and the walls for plumb. Measure the finished opening width at the bottom and at the top (at the model height: 58’’ for tub or 76” for shower). Use these dimensions as “Wtop” and “Wbot”in step #2. Check the threshold for level and the walls for plumb.
2. Use a miter saw or hacksaw to cut the Upper Guide Rail (#02) 1/16” shorter than the top dimension Wtop from step #1. (Wtop - 1/16“ = finished cut length L) (Fig 2a) The Bottom Guide Rail (#15) needs to be cut equally from both ends to keep the center guide holes centered. (The Bottom Guide Rail (#15) has been precut for the model size. See Table A). Using a miter saw or hack saw, cut the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) 3/4” shorter than the bottom dimension Wbot from step #1.
3. Place the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) onto the threshold in the desired position. Use a tape measure to align the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) parallel with the front edge of the threshold and mark its position. (Fig 3a) ! TIP: Use the left and right Wall Profiles (#01) to center the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) on the threshold to maintain the proper spacing from the walls. (Fig 3b) d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All d e e in erv L s m e Fig 3a a R e r s D ght © Ri All ©2018 DreamLine.
4. Attach the Upper Guide Rail Connectors (#07) to one end of both Wall Profiles (#01) using the ST4.2 x 30 Truss Head Screws (#13). (Fig 4a) Position one Wall Profile (#01) against the wall tight to the threshold and over the Bottom Guide Rail (#15). Check for plumb with a level and mark the position. Mark both holes for drilling on the wall through the holes in the Upper Guide Rail Connector (#07). (Fig 4b) Remove the wall profile and drill Ø5/16” holes and insert the Wall Anchors (#09).
5. Apply silicone to the back of the Wall Profile (#01) and place it back onto the marked position on the wall. Attach the Upper Guide Rail Connector (#07) to the wall using two each of the ST4.2 x 40 Countersunk Flathead Screws (#10). Attach two of the Wall Profile Bumpers (#04) using the ST4.2 x 10 Screws (#11) and cover the holes with the decorative caps.
6. Position the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) back onto the threshold and mark the threshold through the Guide Block (#05) holes for drilling. Remove the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) and drill into the threshold: ◾Drill Ø1/8” holes for installation into an acrylic threshold ◾Drill Ø5/16” holes and use anchors for installation into a tile threshold. (Fig 6) d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © 2 i R All 1 Ø1/8” or Ø5/16” ! The bottom rail must be screwed to the threshold or tub deck.
8. Position the opposite Wall Profile (#01) against the wall, tight to the threshold and over the Bottom Guide Rail (#15). Check for plumb with a level and mark the position. Mark the holes in the Upper Guide Rail Connector (#07) for drilling. (Fig 8b.1) Remove the wall profile and drill Ø5/16” holes and insert the Wall Anchors (#09). (Fig 8a and 8b) d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All Fig 8a ©2018 DreamLine.
9. Apply silicone to the back of the Wall Profile (#01) and place it back onto the marked position on the wall. Attach the Upper Guide Rail Connector (#07) to the wall using two each of the ST4.2 x 40 Countersunk Flathead Screws (#10). Attach two of the Wall Profile Bumpers (#04) using the ST4.2 x 10 Screws (#11) and cover the holes with the decorative caps.
NOTE: Do Not attach the Towel Bars (#08) to the Door Glass (#03) until instructed. Do Not attempt to lift the glass with the towel bars. This may cause damage to the glass and/or serious personal injury. Use an assistant and/or a professional grade glass suction cup to handle the glass. ! d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All 11. Install the Roller Assemblies (#06) onto the tops of both doors.
13. Use an assistant to support the Upper Guide Rail (#02). Line the rollers up with the notches in the anti-jump fins inside the guide rail and lift and insert the outer door glass up into the Upper Guide Rail (#02) so the Roller Assemblies (#06) fit onto the groove inside the rail. Carefully lower the Upper Guide Rail (#02) so the door glass slides into the outer slot in the Guide Block (#05).
15. To compensate for minor out-of-plumb conditions Cover plate / Mounting bolt (up to 3/8”): After both doors are installed, use the Allen Wrench (#14) to make minor adjustments with the Adjustment bolts on the Roller Assemblies (#06). Remove the cover plate, then loosen the mounting bolt on the roller. Rotate the adjustment bolt on the bottom of the wheel assembly to tilt the door glass to the desired position. Re-tighten the mounting bolt and replace the cover plate.
17. Apply good quality mildew-resistant silicone to the entire interior perimeter where the wall profiles meet the wall and along the bottom guide rail and threshold. (Fig 17) ! Allow 24 hours for the silicone to cure before using the shower. d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All 24 Hours ©2018 DreamLine.
Product Maintenance BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure longlasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.
