Installation steps for 6” hinge panel with Hinge Panel Glass Bracket 1. Draw a line on the threshold and on 2. Cut the vertical U-channel to 69-7/16”. Cut the bottom U-channel** to 6”. (Fig 4) the wall to represent the centerline of the U-channel. Make sure the line is parallel to the front edge of the threshold.
3. Position the U-channels and Hinge Panel Glass Bracket (#36) on the centerlines to mark the holes for drilling. (Fig 5) Fig 5 UNIDOOR-X (STYLE M) manual Ver 2 11/2016 4. Mark the hole positions on the centerline on the wall and threshold through the holes in the U-channels and the Hinge Panel Glass Bracket (#36). (Note that the Hinge Panel Glass Bracket (#36) is wider than the u-channel).
5. Drill Ø5/16” holes in the wall and install the wall anchors. Drill Ø1/8” holes into an acrylic threshold (or Ø5/16” holes and anchors for a tile threshold). (Fig 7) 6. Apply silicone to the back of the U-channels and the screw holes, then install the U-channels and Hinge Panel Glass Bracket (#36) using the ST4.2 x 40mm screws (#23).
7. Add the 0.5mm shims into the bottom U-channel to protect the bottom corners of the glass. Apply a bead of silicone into the length of the U-channels. (Fig 9) Quick-drying/fast curing silicone is recommended for the installation of hinge panel glass into u-channels. 8. Install the Hinge Panel Glass (#32) into the U-channel, checking for level and plumb. Install the gasket into the Hinge Panel Glass Bracket. (Note: Make sure the top of the hinge panel glass is at the top).
9. Tighten the rubber-tipped set screws on the Hinge Panel Glass Bracket (#36) to secure the glass. Do Not overtighten! (Fig 11) insi de !

12. Position the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) (#29) onto the threshold, parallel to the outside edge. Mark the position of the U-channel and mark the position of the holes for drilling. You need to use at least 3 holes for the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) (#29): one near each end and one near the center. • Drill the holes into the threshold using an Ø1/8” drill bit.
13. Next, position the vertical U-channel 1 (#09) (wall 2 1 profile) on top of the installed bottom U-channel. Use a level to plumb the U-channel 1 (#09) (wall profile) and mark the positions of the holes for drilling. You need to use at least four holes for the U-channel 1 (#09) (wall profile). • Drill the holes into the wall using a Ø5/16” drill bit. • Insert the Wall Anchors (#13) into the 5/16” holes.
NOTE: There is a top and a bottom to the Hinge Panel Glass (#32): The top hinge cutout is 7-7/8” to center, the bottom hinge cutout is 8-3/8” to center. The hinge panel glass must be installed correctly so that the door glass can be installed correctly. 15. Install the Hinge Panel glass (#32) into the U-channel 2 (#29) (bottom profile) and the U-channel 1 (#09) (wall profile). Apply a dab of silicone to the exposed end of the bottom u-channel.

With the door closed, place the L-shaped Strip (#08) on the door edge and mark its location on the wall.
25. With the door open, apply a good quality mildew-resistant/waterproof silicone along the connection of both U-Channels to the wall and threshold on the inside of the shower. NOTE: The surface needs to be clean and free of debris before applying silicone. Let the silicone cure before closing the door to avoid contact with the Bottom anti-water strip (#33) (Fig. 31) Fig 31 26. Allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure before using the shower.
