Installation steps 1. Measure the distance of the back wall of W the tub from corner to corner. Record this measurement as “W”. (Fig 1) W W Fig 1 2. Divide the “W” measurement in half (W/2). W/2 Draw a plumb line to mark the center of the back wall (Fig 2) ©2017 DreamLine.
3. Measure the side walls from the corner to the front point where the Side Panel (#01) will be trimmed to size. Record this measurement as “D”. (Fig 3) D D Fig 3 Draw plumb Vertical Reference lines 1” from the corners 4a. Measure 1” from the corners and draw plumb, ©2017 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved vertical reference lines on the walls at both corners.
4b. Measure the location of the holes on the wall S = (D-1”) where the fixtures will be installed. Use these measurements to drill the cutouts in the corresponding Side Panel (#01) in Step #17. 1" A back Take exact measurements: corner of walls • from the vertical reference line to the center of the fixture holes: (A, B, C, G) • from the tub deck up to the center of the fixture holes: (E, F, H).
5. Place the Center Cover (#05) vertically on the back wall centerline (from Step#2) and mark the drilling holes through the predrilled holes in the Center Cover (#05). Drill the holes using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#06). (Fig 5a and Fig 5b) 1 2 3 4 Ø5/16” Fig 5a Fig 5b 6. Place the Corner Cover (#04) to the corner of the wall and mark the drilling holes through the 1 2 3 4 ©2017 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved predrilled holes in the Corner Cover (#04).
1” reference line 7. Determine the finished cut size for both Back Panels (#02). centerline (If the finished overall width of the back wall= 59-1/2” from corner-to-corner, then it will not be necessary to trim the back panels. Proceed to Step #9). L NOTE: (a) = Narrow edge (3-3/8”) toward the center line on the back wall. (do not trim this edge) (b) = Wider edge (4-5/8”) toward the corner of the back wall.
8. Place the Back Panel (#02) onto a flat piece of plywood or particle board. Use a T-square and a sharp industrial knife to score along the cut lines (from the previous step) on the Back Panel (#02) and continue scoring until fully cut through the panel. (Fig 8a and Fig 8b) 2 1 L L a Fig 8a Fig 8b 9. Install the Center Cover (#05) to the center of the back wall using the Countersunk Screws ST4.2×30 (#07). Do not fully tighten the screws yet. Leave the Center Cover (#05) loose on the wall for now.
11. Slide the right edge of the left Back Panel (#02) behind the Center Cover (#05) and push the Back Panel (#02) flat against the wall up to the 1” vertical reference line in the corner. Adjust the position of the Back Panel (#02) before the adhesive sets. Apply equal pressure to the whole surface of the Back Panel (#02) from top to bottom. Fasten the Corner Cover (#04) to the left corner of the backwall using the Countersunk Screws ST4.2×30 (#07). Do not fully tighten the corner cover screws yet.
13. Align both Back Panels (#02) at the top and tighten the screws on the Center Cover (#05) to secure this assembly in place. Do not tighten the screws on the corner covers yet. (Fig 13a and Fig 13b) 1 2 Fig 13b Fig 13a 1” reference line Trim line S Note: Refer to the “D” dimension from Step #3 to determine the finished cut size “S” for the Side Panel (#02) in the next steps. (D - 1” = S) 14. Measure from the 1” reference line to the D ©2017 DreamLine.
15. Mark the finished cut size “S” for both Side these edges to the corners Panels (#01). NOTE: (a) = Narrow edge (3-3/8”) toward the corner reference line (do not trim this edge) S S (b) = Wider edge (6-3/8”) toward the outside of the side wall. (trim this edge only) Trim the side panels to the “S” dimension, cutting from the wider edge (b) of the side panels only.
. Transfer the fixture hole measurements (from Step #4) onto the Side Panel (#01) that will be installed onto the wall with the fixtures. Drill the holes in the Side Panel (#01) using the appropriate diameter hole saw or a handheld jig saw. (Fig 17a and Fig 17b) Hole Saw ! NOTE: Be sure to drill the holes on the correct surface of the side panel to match the dimensions from Step#2 Fig 17a Fig 17b Right side wall fixtures shown as an example 18.

Parts List PART# DESCRIPTION QTY PART# DESCRIPTION QTY Glass profile 2pcs 10 Round head screw ST4.2x25 8pcs 02 Wall profile 2pcs 11 Round head screw ST4.2x10 4pcs 03 Guide rail (top and bottom) 2pcs 12 Flat head screw ST4.
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” dimension to determine the finished cut length in Step #2. (Fig 1) 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 stopper on both of the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) on the end that has been cut off (the door end). 1 Remove the existing stopper. Mark the drilling hole at a distance of 3-1/8” from the cut end of the Top and Bottom Guide Rail (#03). Drill a new hole using a Ø1/8” drill bit; then re-secure the stopper with the screw. (Fig 4) ! ATTENTION: Do Not drill the Guide Rail throughout, only through the first layer.
5. Slide the Wall Profiles (#02) all the way onto the Glass Profiles (#01) on both sides. Note that the holes in the wall profiles are off-center, and should line up with the back side of the frame, in-line with the groove for the panel glass (Fig 6.1). (Fig 6) 2 1 3 Inside of shower Fig 6 ! *NOTE: At this step you can reverse the handing of the installation by flipping the assembly top to bottom so that the panel glass installs on the opposite side.
! TIP: Before installing the frame assembly, bring the Door Glass (#04) into the shower area and lean it safely against the wall, using padding to protect the glass, walls and base. Be sure the handle holes on the Door Glass (#04) are on the correct side for installation. The wheel assemblies can be attached prior to setting the glass into the shower. (see Step#11) ©2017 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved Padding Fig 8 ! NOTE: DO NOT install the towel bar or handle onto the glass until instructed to do so.
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). Gently set the assembled unit aside; drill the holes using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#14). (Fig 9) 2 1 3 Ø5/16" Fig 9 8. Apply silicone caulk to the rear surface of the Wall Profiles (#02) and around the holes on the wall. Also apply silicone caulk under the Bottom Guide Rail (#03).
9. Slide the Stationary Glass (#05) fully into the groove of the Glass Profile (#01) and then secure the Glass Holders (#16) to the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) with the Flat Head Screws ST4.2x16 (#12). (Fig 11) ! NOTE: Use caution when installing the stationary glass into the frame to prevent damage to the edges of the glass.
11. Fasten the top and the bottom Wheel Assemblies (#17) to the Door Glass (#04). All wheels should be installed to face the outside of the shower. The door can be adjusted using the adjustable bolt on the top wheels (Fig. #13.4). The push-button on the bottom wheel should point up, and can be pressed to release the spring-loaded bottom wheel to assist in installation into the Bottom Guide Rail (#03). Be sure the handle holes are on the correct side for the installation.
13. Starting from the bottom, insert the Single Side Strip (#08) into the groove between the Stationary Glass (#05) and the glass profile using a wooden or plastic shim. The strip should be inserted from the inside of the shower. (Fig 15) ATTENTION: To prevent scratching or damaging the glass and aluminum: Do Not use a screwdriver or other metal object to install the Single Side Strip (#08) ! inside inside Fig 15 14. Install the Handle (#06) to the Door Glass (#04).
15. Perform the final adjustment of the assembled unit within the Wall Profiles (#02) making sure the bottom rail is tight to the threshold. Drill Ø1/8”holes in the center of the Wall Profile (#02) into the Glass Profile (#01). Drill one hole at the top and one hole at the bottom of each profile. Secure the Wall Profile (#02) to the Glass Profile (#01) using the Round Head Screws ST4.2x10 (#11) and raised white washers.
16. Apply a good quality mildew-resitant silicone around the interior perimeter along both wall profiles and the bottom rail on the threshold. (Fig 18) ! Allow 24 hours for the silicone to cure before using the shower. ©2017 DreamLine.
