1 Measure the wall-to-wall opening along 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 [V] is separate from the tub track [A] slide the silencer into the slot in the tub track and trim to the same length. Position the tub track in the center of the tub rim with the tall leg to the exterior.
4 Replace one wall jamb [A] and attach it to the wall with three #8 x 1 1/2” truss head screws [D]. The top and bottom screws should go through a Jamb Bumper [E]. Check the jamb for plumb and tighten the screws. Repeat for the other wall jamb. Note: Do not over tighten the wall jamb screws. 5 This bath enclosure is equipped with safety teelock wall jambs. When installed properly the header is permanently locked to the wall jambs and cannot be accidently dislodged.
Attach the four one inch roller bearings [K] to the door hanger brackets [G] as shown, using #8-32 x 3/8” hex head screws [L]. The rollers should be in approximately the top quarter of the diagonal slots in the bracket fins. 8 Before installing the door panels, the proper orientation should be determined. For maximum water-proofing, the interior panel should always be positioned closest to the shower head, as shown in this illustration.
10 Locate the four, large hole, plastic washers [M] and place them over the threads and flush with the four end caps [N]. Next, place the four glass inserts [O] onto the four end caps [N] and flush with the plastic washers [M]. In step 6 the interior and exterior panels were determined by setting the orientation of the hanger brackets [G]. The towel bars [P] will be installed on the same side of the panels as the rollers in the hanger brackets [G].
13 Neatly caulk each end of the tub track [A] where it meets the wall jambs [B] and along the interior edge of the wall jambs as shown. Run a bead of caulking along the interior edge of the tub track. NOTE: The caulking should be allowed to cure for twentyfour hours before using your new bath enclosure.
