INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Adjustable Door and Panel QCI5297 REV. 0.
Tools: To install your RODA Shower Enclosure, you may need the following: Drill Hack Saw Pencil Low Tack Tape Tape Measure 2’, & 4’ Levels #2 Phillips Screwdriver 1/8”, 5/32”, 3/16”, 5/16” Metal Drill Bits Caulk Gun Clear Silicone Caulk 3/16” or 5/16” maybe required in some installations Center Punch Files Suction Cups 7/16” shims Safety Notes: This unit is best installed by two people. Handle the glass panels carefully and protect the edges.
Maintenance: Two primary materials are used to manufacture your new Basco shower enclosure: tempered glass and anodized aluminum. To assure a long lasting finish on the enclosure, wipe it down with a towel after each use. For occasional, more concentrated cleaning efforts, we find that Lysol® Non-Abrasive Bathroom Cleaner works extremely well. Be sure that any over spray falling on the aluminum frame is rinsed thoroughly and dried.

mark 1 Lightly threshold. a continuous unit centerline on the Next, mark a continuous unit centerline up each wall, starting where the threshold centerline meets the wall. Use a level to ensure the wall centerline is plumb and straight. The wall centerlines should be a minimum of the unit height from the threshold. Note: It is extremely important the unit centerline be continuous and straight to ensure proper installation. Centerline (CL) is a term used to describe the center or mid-point of the unit.
CL 3 level, line the center of the wall jamb up with the Place the SC982 Wall Jamb [2] on the wall. Using a centerline marked in step 1 and make it plumb. Mark the 8 holes (4 at each hinge) on the wall for securing. The centerline should run through the center holes. NOTE: The customer may move the location of the mounting screws up or down 3”. The customer is responsible for drilling new holes at the required location. All 4 holes are required to be used. The diamond pattern is also required.
5 IF WALL ANCHORS ARE REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION Drill 5/16” diameter holes at each marked location. Install 1 TOGGLER® per hole following the manufacturers’ installation instructions. Fold anchor in middle Insert anchor in hole and tap flush CL Insert key to pop anchor open in wall. Do not hammer key. Remove key. 6 IF BLOCKING IS AVAILABLE IN THE WALL At each marked location, drill a 3/16” clearance hole through the finished wall material only.
7 Using alcohol swabs from the Parts Pak, thoroughly clean and dry the area of the wall where jamb will be installed on. Also clean and dry the back of the Wall Jamb [2] Apply a continuous 3/16” to 1/4” bead of silicone inside each leg of the Wall Jamb [2] where it meets the wall. The silicone should protrude past the leg it will contact the wall and spread out when Wall Jamb [2] is secured in place.
9 Using alcohol pads from the Parts Pak, wipe down the hinge notches and notch gasket areas on the Door Panel Glass [1]. Allow glass to dry before continuing. Remove the back plates from both HG1J Hinges [8]. Place a thick gasket on the Hinge [8] and place the fixed part of hinge onto the outside of the Door Glass [1]. Next, place another thick gasket against the inside of the glass and attach the back plate with the screws provided. The interior of hinges must press firmly against top side of notch.
Place two 7/16” shims on the curb or threshold. These shims must remain in place throughout the installation process. You can stack setting blocks from the Parts Pak if required. With the help of an assistant inside the shower, lift the Door Glass Assembly into the opening and set the panel on the shims. Slide the Adjustable Wall Jamb [3] over the Hinge Wall Jamb [2]. Work together to make the door plumb and level, adding or removing shimming from under the door as required.
13 After the door is leveled, push or pull the door assembly as required to set the distance between the Glass [1] and the wall where the fixed panel will be. Check the top and bottom of the door for the gap. Set the gap at between Panel Width + 3/8” to Panel Width + 1 1/16” If the panel is 12” wide, the distance between the glass and the wall should be 12 3/8” to 13 1/16” The u-channel at the wall allows for out-of-plumb and width adjustment.
14 While keeping the door level, plumb, and with the correct gap at the strike; side drill 5/32” holes through the SC982 Wall Jamb [2] at the locations marked by the holes near each hinge in SC983 Adjustable Jamb [3]. The holes are on the side of the jamb, both inside and outside of the shower. DO NOT open the door until the both Hinge Jamb Screws [11] are installed on the inside or outside of the shower. There is nothing securing the door to the wall unit these screws are installed. The door WILL fall.
16 After all 4 Hinge Jambs Screws [11] are installed, remove the 7/16” shims and carefully open the door, making sure the glass does not contact anything. Slowly open and close the door to ensure the hinges are in alignment and are operating smoothly. CL QCI5297 REV. 0.
17 Measure for and cut the u-channel for the fixed panel. To find the Threshold U-Channel [4] size, measure ‘A’, the distance from the wall to the door about an inch from the threshold. Cut the Threshold U-Channel [4] Length = ‘A’ - 3/16”. To find the Wall U-Channel [5] size, measure ‘B’, the distance from the threshold to a level line at the top of the door glass. Cut the Wall U-Channel [5] Length = ‘B’ - 1 1/2”. QCI5297 REV. 0.
18 On the wall selected for installation of the fixed panel, check the fit of SC925 Threshold U-Channel [4] where the threshold and wall meet. In many cases the corner will need to be contoured to fit a radius. NO! Contour the corner as required to ensure proper contact with the wall and threshold. NO! Proper fit in this area allows the door to be installed on a fiberglass enclosure. YES! YES! 19 Drill 3 3/16” diameter holes along the centerline of the SC925 Threshold UChannel [4].
20 Align the Threshold U-Channel [4] along the centerline marked on the threshold. Wall hidden for clarity Mark the hole locations on the wall. 21 Remove the jamb from the threshold. At each marked location, drill for installation of the jamb.
23 Drill 3 3/16” diameter holes along the centerline of the SC925 Wall UChannel [5]. Place 1 hole in the center and 1 hole 4” from each end. Wall hidden for clarity 24 4” Align and plumb the Wall U-Channel [5] along the centerline marked on the wall. Mark the hole locations on the wall. Wall hidden for clarity Note the joint where the 2 pieces of uchannel meet QCI5297 REV. 0.
25 Remove the jamb from the threshold. At each marked location, drill for installation of the uchannel. Use Table 3 to determine hole size and installation method for the strike jamb Table 3 - Mounting Hole Drilling Requirements Wall Material Fiberglass or Acrylic Fiberglass or Acrylic Tile/Other Reinforced Walls YES NO - Drill Diameter 1/8" 1/8" 3/16" Insert Required NO No Yes, Blue Insert 26 drilled hole.
28 Open the door. Place the Panel Glass [7] into the u-channel, making sure it sits on the setting blocks. Check the panel for level and plumb. If required, remove the panel and adjust the total size of the setting blocks to adjust the panel for height and plumb. The setting blocks maybe stacked as required. 29 Pull the panel to the edge of the Threshold U-Channel [4]. Carefully close the door. Check for a consistent 3/16” gap between the door and panel.
31 Handle Installation Assemble parts as shown. Screw washers, end plates, and gaskets into one side of the handle through the glass. Then align the other side of the handle onto the bushing and tighten the set screws. The screw head should be inside the shower. QCI5297 REV. 0.
32 Place the Drip Vinyl onto the bottom of the door panel. Line it up on the hinge side of the door and cut it off flush with beginning of the Strike Jamb. Once adjusted to fit, run a small bead of silicone between the drip vinyl and the glass to secure the vinyl sweep and prevent water from collecting inside the sweep if adjusted. 33 On the interior face of the glass, place a strip of low tack tape on the glass about 1/8” to 3/16” away from edge of the Threshold U-Channel [4] and Wall U-Channel [5].
34 Inside the shower, carefully run a continuous bead of silicone where SC982 Wall Jamb [2] and SC983 Hinge Jamb [3] meet. Apply another continuous bead of silicone where the jamb and wall meet. Apply a final bead where the jambs and threshold meet. It is option to also run a bead between the jamb and wall on the outside of the shower. DO NOT use the shower before the silicone has cured! Follow the manufacturers’ recommendation for cure time (usually 2448 hours) before using the shower. QCI5297 REV. 0.
