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.

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 a level, line the center of the wall jamb up with the Place the SC982 Wall Jamb [2] on the wall. Using 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 On the wall selected for installation of the strike jamb, check the fit of SC508 and SC552 [4,5] where the threshold and wall meet. In many cases the corner will need to be contoured to fit a radius. Contour the corner as required to ensure proper contact with the wall and threshold. Proper fit in this area allows the door to be installed on a fiberglass enclosure. NO! 10 YES! NO! YES! Drill 3 3/16” diameter holes along the centerline of the SC508 Wall Jamb [4].

14 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.
16 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.
18 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.
