Installation Notes:
 Proper blocking is required for every Heavy Glass unit prior to installation. At minimum 2x4
blocking is required at the location of any structural member of the unit including, but not lim-
ited to: hinges, clamps, and header brackets. All fasteners at these locations are required to be
installed into the blocking.
 A minimum of 1 1/4” thread engagement is required of all fasteners into the blocking at these
locations. Depending on the application the customer maybe required to supply the proper fas-
teners to ensure adequate engagement.
 U-Channel maybe installed using wall plugs where no backing is found.
 Use caution to not pierce plumbing or electric lines while installing door hardware.
 Cover the drain with tape prior to installation to prevent loss of small parts.
 Unpack your unit carefully and inspect for freight damage. Lay out and identify all parts using
the instruction sheet as a reference. Before discarding the carton, check to see that no small
hardware parts have fallen to the bottom of the box. If any parts are damaged or missing, refer
to the description noted in the instructions when contacting your dealer for replacements.
Maintenance:
Two primary materials are used to manufacture your new 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 Bath-
room Cleaner works extremely well. Be sure that any over spray falling on the aluminum frame is
rinsed thoroughly and dried. Many over-the-counter cleaners, if applied to the aluminum and left
on, will harm the metal finish and cause permanent damage even though their directions indicate
safe use on shower doors. Never use a scouring agent to clean the aluminum.
 This unit is best installed by two people.
 Handle the glass panels carefully and protect the edges. Safety tempered glass is very re-
sistant to breakage, but the sharp corners of the panels can damage tile and flooring surfaces.
 The glass can break if unequal pressure is applied during installation.
 Please wear safety glasses whenever drilling or cutting. When drilling holes in ceramic tile or
marble, use a center punch and hammer to carefully break the glazed surface to prevent skid-
ding when drilling.
NOTE: Tempered glass cannot be cut.
