The 2” PVC waste pipe should extend above the surface of the sub-floor according to the drain installation instructions and the height of the Shower base. Refer to the product drawings and tables in this installation manual for the drain location.

Place the tray into the designated position so that the Drain cutout drops around the Drain Pipe and butt the Shower Base up against the studs. (Fig 3) Lower the base over the drain pipe and set it into place against the studs.

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.

It will be necessary to push the shower base until the top of the tile flange aligns with the marks drawn on the studs and the front edge is contacting the rough floor along the entire length of the shower base. Ensure that the base is level in all directions.

Shower Door Installation 1. Measure the distance between the two finished walls at the top, middle and bottom. This distance is marked as “W”. Also check the threshold for level and the walls for plumb. See Fig. 1 for details. W Fig. 1 2. Your Guide rails (#03) have been precut for the model width of: 60”. (the rails are shorter than the model width by design). If W is less than 60" (W<60”), then you will need to cut the Guide rails (#03) equally from both ends.
Fig. 3 3. Once the Guide rails (#03) have been cut, you will need to reinstall the roller stoppers on each Guide rail (#03) on both ends. It is important that these stoppers are installed at the correct location. Remove the existing stopper. Mark the drilling hole at a distance of 2” from the cut off end of the Guide rail (#03). Drill a new hole using an Ø 1/8” drill bit; then re-attach the stopper with the screw.
4. Fasten the bottom Guide rail (#03) to the Glass profiles (#01) with the Round head screws ST4.2x25 (#11). See Fig. 5 for details. TIP: For ease of assembly, add some liquid soap or wax to lubricate the screws prior to attaching the glass profiles to the guide rails. Also, use a low setting on your power drill to prevent stripping the screws during assembly. Fig. 5 5.
6. Install the Single side strips (#09) in-between the Stationary glass (#05) and the Glass profiles (#01). The strips should be inserted on the side that is facing the inside of the shower. (See detail in Fig. 7) ATTENTION: Do not use a screwdriver or other metal objects to install the Single Side Strip; you can scratch or damage the glass and aluminum. inside 7.
9. Move the finished frame to the designated position on the shower base, the bathtub or the threshold (depending on your installation); push it against the walls. If your top and bottom wall opening measurements vary or if the walls are out-of-plumb, make adjustments by sliding the Wall profiles (#02) out of the Glass Profiles (#01). Use a level to adjust the frame so that it is plumb. See Fig. 9 for details. Fig. 9 10.
12. Fasten the top and the bottom Wheel assemblies (#17) to the Glass doors (#04). The top wheels can adjust the door level with the adjustable bolt and lock nut. The bottom wheel has a press button to fix the wheel on to the bottom Guide rail (#03). Note: The lock nut of the upper wheel and the press button of the bottom wheel should be pointing up. (Fig 11.1 and 11.2) 1 4 2 5 3 6 See Fig. 11 for details. Fig. 11 13. Slide the top door wheels into the top Guide rail (#03).

Installation Steps 1. Measure the distance between the two finished walls at the top (at model height: 58” or 72”), middle and bottom. The wall profiles will adjust for out-of-plumb conditions, so use the smallest measurement as the “finished opening” (W) dimension to determine the finished cut length in Step #2. (Fig 1) Top d e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All NOTE: The Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) are shorter than the model size by design.
3. After the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) have been cut to size, re-install the roller stoppers on both of the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03). Note: It is important that these roller stoppers are installed at the correct locations. 1 d e e ide s n v n i i er L s m e a R e r s D ght Fig 3 © Ri All Remove the existing stopper. Mark the drilling hole at a distance of 2” from the end of the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03).
5. Slide the Wall Profiles (#02) all the way onto the Glass Profiles (#01) on both sides. (Fig 5) ! NOTE: The holes in the Wall Profiles (#02) are off-center and should align with the holes in the glass profiles and the groove for the panel glass. (Fig 5.1) d2 1e e n v i r L e s m e a R e r s D ght © Ri All 3 Inside of shower Fig 5 6. Move the assembled frame into position on the threshold, and push the Wall Profiles (#02) tight to the walls to compensate for any out-of-plumb conditions.
7. Use an assistant to hold the assembly in position and mark the holes for drilling on the wall through the holes in the Glass Profiles (#01) and the Wall Profiles (#02). Set the assembled unit aside. Drill the holes using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#15). (Fig 7) 1 2 3 d e e n v i r L e s m e Ø5/16" a R e r s D ght © Ri All Fig 7 8.
9. It is necessary to drill new Ø1/8” holes into the Guide Rails (#03) to attach the Glass Holders (#16). Slide both lites of Panel Glass (#05) all the way into the grooves of the Glass Profiles (#01) on both sides. Hold the Glass Holders (#16) in place and mark the new holes with a pencil or a drill bit. Remove the Panel Glass (#05) to prevent damage prior to drilling into the Guide Rails (#03). Drill Ø1/8” holes into the Guide Rails (#03).
10. From the inside of the shower, install the inside Side Strip Vinyl (#09) in-between the Panel Glass (#05) and the Glass Profiles (#01). Start from the bottom and do not stretch the vinyl.

Drill Ø1/8” holes into the center of the Wall Profile (#02) and into the Glass Profile (#01). Drill one hole at the top and one hole at the bottom of each profile (approx 3/4” from the wall) . Secure the Wall Profiles (#02) to the Glass Profiles (#01) using the Washers (#14) and ST4.2×10 Pan Head Screws (#12).
15. Apply a good quality mildew-resistant silicone along the interior perimeter of the wall profiles and bottom guide rail along the walls and threshold. (Fig 15) !
