1 The ALUMAX 393 S TIKSTALL 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. Using the illustration, determine the correct position for the door in your particular S TIKSTALL installation. This instruction sheet depicts a pivot-right installation. NOTE: Fixed glass panel size should be determined by formulas shown on A LUMAX detail sheets. CAUTION: For safety reasons, the door panel must always open outward.
4 Place the two wall jambs [E] into the ends of the curb assembly [A]. Masking tape may be used to hold the curb in place during this operation. Plumb the jambs and mark the hole locations on the wall. 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 [F]. Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic units can be made in two ways.
7 Hold the 90° post [K] plumb and carefully measure horizontally from the top of each wall jamb [E] to the outside edge of the post. Add 3/16" to each measurement to find the corresponding dimension on the header assembly [D] (from the outside mitered edge to the squared ends) and trim the header assembly to fit. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill the interior face of the header assembly on both ends as shown. 8 Press the header assembly [D] over the wall jambs [E], 90° post [K] and 180° post [L].
10 Snap the fillers [R] into the curb assembly [A] and header assembly [D] between the door jambs with the raised lip to the exterior and the pivot holes toward the pivot jamb. Center the curb filler in the curb between the pivot and strike jamb (use masking tape to hold in position). NOTE: The snap-in fillers should be exactly 3/8" longer than the door panel glass width. 11 Pull the bottom end of the pivot jamb [N] tight to the curb filler [R] and plumb the jamb.
13 Thread the two #10-24 x 7/16" square head set screws [X] into the tapped holes in the pivot blocks [Y] (pivot blocks may be pre-assembled). Slide the pivot blocks into the top and bottom rails of the glazed door panel [S] with the stainless steel pins toward the pivot side of the door (see detail). Position the pivot pins 1 5/8" from the pivot edge of the door panel. Tighten the set screws just enough to prevent the pivot blocks from moving (finger tight plus a quarter turn).
16 Cut the drip rail [U] to the length of the bottom door rail minus 11/16". Clean the interior face of the bottom rail and the flat side of the drip rail thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion of the double stick tape [V]. Unroll the tape and carefully attach it to the back of the drip rail (do not peel the tape backing yet). Insert the tapered drip vinyl [W] into the drip rail.
19 Peel off the backing on the A LUMAX decal [JJ] and apply to the inside surface of the header. Trim the flap on the clear vinyl strike jamb seal to clear the bottom door rail. 20 Inspect the pieces of black glazing vinyl, and note the two different profiles. The smaller shape [KK] is installed vertically and the larger shape [LL] is installed horizontally. For structural strength and maximum water resistance, these vinyls are designed to fit tightly between the glass and framing.
22 Cut eight pieces of the larger vinyl [LL] 1/ 2" longer than the horizontal opening and trim the ends on a 45° angle. Install the top exterior vinyl starting at both ends and working toward the middle. Be careful not to stretch the vinyl. Install the top interior vinyl and the two bottom vinyls in the same way. Repeat for the second glass panel. 23 Carefully caulk the interior jamb-to-wall and curb-to-base joints. For appearance, you may wish to caulk the exterior joints as well.
