B - Hinge Installation

1. Locate the top hinge and remove the side plate by loosening the two screws. (diagram 19)

2. Apply a generous amount of Plumber’s Putty onto the hinge and side plate.

3. Position the hinge onto the glass door lining up the holes so that the screws are on the outside

of the shower door. This will ensure a better water tight seal.

4. Attach the side plate with Plumber’s Putty applied to the glass and tighten the screws until the

hinge is secure. Wipe off the excess putty and allow to dry.

3. Repeat these steps for the bottom hinge.

C - Dry-ﬁt Fixed Glass Panel & Glass Door

1. Gently insert the side glass panel into the channels. You will be adjusting the ﬁxed glass panel so

it is level with door and has an even 1/4” gap between the door and the ﬁxed glass panel.

Use rubber setting block to adjust height and level if necessary.

2. Next, to determine the position of the bottom hinge pin hole, place the top hinge pin bracket

upside down on bottom pan threshold as a template.(diagram 20) Align bracket hole to center

of side glass panel. Mark the hole and remove the bracket. Carefully drill 1/4” dia hole for hinge

pin approximately 1 1/4” deep into the pan threshold.

3. Pick up the door you have installed the hinges and handle onto, and gently place the bottom

hinge pin into the 1/4” hole you have drilled into the pan threshold (making sure you have the

teﬂon slide washer on the pin).

A - Handle Installation

1. Set the glass door in a position to enable the assembly of the handle . (diagram 18)

2. Loosen the set screws so you can separate the handles.

3. Unscrew the long bolt from the handle. Keep all rubber pieces attached to the screw.

4. Remove the ﬁrst set of ﬂat, clear washers from the bolt.

5. Start with the top hole on the glass door. Place the long bolt through the hole in the door

(keeping the remaining rubber pieces on the bolt). On the other side of the glass place the ﬂat

washers onto the threaded portion of the bolt. (diagram 18)

6. Take one side of the handle and screw the long bolt into the end. Just start the bolt until a few

threads catch. Keep loose.

7. Put the second bolt through the lower hole. Place the ﬂat washer onto the bolt. Screw the bolt

into the bottom handle.

8. Align the handle on the door and carefully tighten the long bolts. Do not over tighten.

9. Place the opposite handle over the long bolts and tighten the set screws to secure the handle.

Be careful not to rest the edges of the door on hard surfaces.

Tempered glass is very strong and impact resistant but its

weakest point is impact on the edges.
