Installation steps ! The Elegance-LS / Atlas Left-Swing door installation is shown as an example throughout this manual. 1 ! 2** NOTE: If this door is to be part of an enclosure model, refer to the model size table in the enclosure panel glass manual for the correct placement of the door glass to match the enclosure size. Ø5/16” 1. Position the Wall Profile for Pivot Side (#01) 3** onto the threshold and against the desired hinge-side wall and adjust to plumb.
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).
! NOTE: The Glass Profile for Pivot Side (#02) is shorter and has an additional pair of holes at each end for the Pivot Assembly (#07). These extra holes are not present in the Glass Profile (#04) that is used for the strike side/panel side. 1 outside 4. 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).
8. Open the Door Glass (#03) to expose the bottom Pivot Retainer (#08). (Fig 8) Fig 8 ! NOTE: Sealing the hole in the bottom Pivot Retainer is important. Screwing the bottom Pivot Retainer to the threshold is optional. 9. Seal the unused hole in the bottom Pivot Assembly (#07) with the Flat Head Socket Bolt M6×12 (#18) OR attach the Pivot Retainer (#08) to the Shower base or threshold by drilling an Ø1/8” hole and using a Large Truss Head Screw ST4.2×40 (#16).
10. Firmly push the shorter Snap-In Anti-Water Strip (#10) into the vertical groove of the Glass Profile for Door Glass (#02). (Fig 10) 1 2 do inside or 3 do or door hinge side outside outside outside Fig 10 ! NOTE: ◾ When installing the single door model, use both of the Snap-In Anti-Water Strips (#10) (Fig 10 & Fig 11) included with the Door Glass that snap into the Glass Profiles, (snap the shorter one into the hinge side glass profile and the longer one into the strike side glass profile).
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). Test the operation of the door before proceeding to the next step.
16. Cut the Sweep Vinyl Seal (#11) to the width of the Door Glass (#03). Next, trim the Sweep Vinyl Seal (#11) to size up to the bottom pivot. Close the door and notch off the deflector on the inner side of the Sweep Vinyl Seal (#11) where it overlaps the strike vinyl when the door is closed (Fig 16.3). Press the Sweep Vinyl Seal (#11) tightly onto the bottom edge of the Door Glass (#03). (Fig 16) 2 1 4 3 5 3/8” (+/-) Fig 16 17.
