Installation steps 1. Starting from the bottom of the back corner on the wall opposite the buttress wall, measure to the model size “W1” shown in TABLE A. Use a 4’ level to draw a plumb line up the wall from that mark. This line will represent the outside edge of the U-Channel (#1). Use a carpenter’s square against the wall to also mark the threshold.
3. Drill the holes into the wall using a Ø 5/16”(8mm) drill bit and insert the Anchors (#14). Run a bead of waterproof silicone along the back of the U-Channel (72”) (#01). Fasten the U-Channel (72”) (#01) to the wall using the ST4.2×40 Pan Head screws (#13). (Fig 3) 1 2 Ø8(5/16") 3 4 d e e in serv L m e a R e Dr ghts © Ri l l Fig 3 A 4.

6. Position the Left-hand L-Bar™ (#9) onto the Hinge Panel Glass (#02) as shown and mark its position on the wall. Remove the Wall Plate (#9.6) from the Left-hand L-Bar™ (#9). Hold the Wall Plate (#9.6) to the marks on the wall. Hold the Wall Plate (#9.6) level and mark the holes for drilling through the wider, untapped holes. (Fig 8.2) Drill two Ø5/16”(8mm) holes and insert the Ø5/16” Wall anchors (#9.5).
8. Measure the distance on the threshold between the Hinge Panel Glass (#02) and the buttress wall. Adjust the Hinge Panel Glass (#02) so it is parallel to the outside edge of the threshold. Measure the area where the door glass will be installed. This distance needs to be 23-13/16”as measured from the inside edge of the Hinge Panel Glass (#02) to the inside edge of the Buttress Return Panel Glass (#04) and the buttress wall. Mark the position of the door glass on the threshold as shown.
NOTE: It is advisable to allow the silicone holding the ! Hinge Panel Glass (#02) in the U-Channel (72”) (#01) to cure before hanging the Door Glass (#06). ! TIP: Use a 13/16” shim beneath the door glass to help align the Door Glass (#06) with the hinges. This will protect the threshold and the bottom of the door glass from damage and allow proper spacing for the Sweep Vinyl (#08).
! NOTE: Protect the edge of the door glass to prevent contact with the buttress wall during installation. 10. Carefully bring the Door Glass (#06) into the shower between the Hinge Panel Glass (#02) and the buttress wall. USE CAUTION: Do not to let the glass contact the wall or threshold. Level up the Door Glass (#06) next to the Hinge Panel Glass (#02) and fasten the 130º Glass-to-Glass Adj Hinge (#12) onto the Door Glass (#06).
11. Attach the U-Channel (34”) (#03) to the Buttress Return Panel Glass (#04) and dry-fit the glass onto the buttress wall. and align with the Door Glass (#06). Adjust for level and plumb. If necessary, the Buttress Return Panel Glass (#04) can be pulled out of the U-channel 1/4” max. to align flush with the end of the buttress wall.
13. Add silicone to the inside of the installed U-Channel (34”) (#03). Slide the Buttress Return Panel Glass (#04) back into the U-Channel (34”) (#03) and adjust the glass for level and plumb using the lines drawn in the previous step for reference.

17. Press the Sweep Vinyl (#08) firmly onto the bottom edge of the Door Glass (#06) and close the door. From inside the shower, mark the inner aspect of the sweep where it overlaps the strike vinyl. Cut off approximately 3/8” and remove only the inner aspect of the Sweep Vinyl (#08) (See Fig 17.2) to allow the door to close and seal evenly against the strike vinyl, without leaving any gaps.
