Mix the bedding material (Mortar, cement-sand mix, etc.) Concrete or plaster is not recommended. Apply enough bedding material to support the entire bottom of the shower base. This will add additional stability and prevent the base from shifting position. See Fig. 6 for details. Mortar Fig.

2. Separate the Pivot Retainers (#08) from the Pivot Assemblies (#07) by removing the Round Head Socket Bolt M6×12 (#17). Insert the Pivot Retainers (#08) into both ends of the Wall Profile for Pivot Side (#01). (Fig 2) 1 2 3 4 Fig 2 top left/ bottom right pivot shown as viewed from outside 3. Run a bead of silicone along the holes on the wall and on the back of the Wall Profile for Pivot Side (#01).

Attach the Pivot Assemblies (#07) to the top and the bottom ends of the Glass Profile for Pivot Side (#02) with the Flat Head Screws ST4.2×25 (#15) and M4×16 bolts and washers (#13).
! NOTICE: The Door Glass (#03) has a top and a bottom notch for the pivots. The notch at the top is deeper and the notch at the bottom is shallower (to allow space for the bottom sweep vinyl). Identify this difference to prevent installing the Door Glass upside-down. See Pivot Assembly parts list on Page 6 for reference 6. Remove the Bolts (L) and Back Plates (K) from the top and bottom Pivot Assemblies (#07). Position the Door Glass (#03) onto the Pivot Assemblies (#07).

11. Push the Glass Profile (#04) into the Wall Profile (#05) and snap the longer Anti-Water Strip (#10) into the Glass Profile (#04). (Fig 11) 1 ©2018 DreamLine.
12. Hold the Door Glass (#03) in the closed position, parallel to the threshold. Adjust the Glass Profile (#04) within the Wall Profile (#05) and adjust the position of the Wall Profile (#05) on the wall to ensure that the Door Glass (#03) makes tight contact with the flange of the Anti-Water Strip (#10) from top to bottom. Use a level to ensure that the Door Glass (#03) and the Wall Profile (#05) are plumb, but make sure that the door glass makes full contact with the strike vinyl.
13. Apply silicone to the back of the Wall Profile (#05) and around the holes in the wall. Install the Wall Profile (#05) to the wall using the Large Truss Head Screws ST4.2×40 (#16). Slide the Glass Profile (#04) back into the Wall Profile (#05). (Fig 13) 1 2 ©2018 DreamLine.
14. Adjust the overall width of the Door using the Glass Profiles (#02 and #04) on one or both sides of the opening. Slide the Glass Profiles out of the Wall Profiles up to 1” per side as necessary to maintain a 1/16" - 1/8" reveal between the Door Glass (#03) and the Anti-Water Strip (#10). (Fig 14.2) Hold the top of the Door Glass (#03) level and tighten the pivot assembly in place with the Round Head Socket Bolt M6×12 (#17) (Fig 14.3).
