LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDY Alumax Bath Enclosures warrants to its dealers, customers, and all subsequent purchasers and users, that the products supplied by it shall be free from material defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year after shipment, provided they are installed and maintained according to Alumax Bath Enclosures' recommended practices and installation instructions.
The Alumax 890 Steam Door is designed to be installed alone as shown in the exploded views or combined with a custom StikStall framework. They can be installed with an inline panel (091), a return panel (092), an inline and a return panel (093), or a neo-angle unit (094). Fixed glass panel sizes should be determined by formulas shown on Alumax detail sheets.
3 Place the two wall jambs [C] into the ends of the curb [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 [D]. Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic units can be made in two ways.
Measure the horizontal frame opening at the top and bottom. The minimum dimension for the door opening is the glazed door panel width [J] (see the graphic in Step #7) plus 1/2", maximum is the door panel width plus 1 3/4". Using the holes in the ends of the curb [A] and header [B] as a guide, drill four 1/8" holes into the wall jambs [C]. Secure the header and the curb to the wall jambs with four #8 x 1/4" truss head screws [L].
9 Pull the bottom end of the pivot jamb [N] tight to the curb filler [R] and plumb the jamb vertically. Drill two 1/8" holes thru the pivot jamb and into the wall jamb [C] 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 [L].
12 Cut the drip rail [S] to the length of the bottom rail minus 11/16". Clean the bottom door rail and the drip rail thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion. Unroll the double stick tape [W] and carefully apply it to the back of the drip rail (do not peel the tape backing yet). Insert the tapered drip vinyl [U] into the drip rail. Position the drip rail flush with the bottom and pivot side of the door panel [M], then raise the strike side until the bottom edge of the drip vinyl is parallel to the curb [A].
15 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. K L U A C To keep your Alumax Bath Enclosure looking like new we recommend the Alumax ShowerBright Consumer Maintenance Kit. The Consumer Maintenance Kit surface should be applied every 45 to 60 days. To purchase or for more information contact your dealer.
