Installation steps 1. Attach the three Wall Brackets (#19) to the Return Panel (#27). The bolt side of the Wall Bracket (#19) must face inside the shower. (Fig 1) 1 2 outside 3 4 outside 2. Place the Return Panel (#27) on the pre-installed shower base or threshold. Position the panel up against the wall and level it vertically (plumb).
3. Outline the position of the Wall Brackets (#19) on the wall and the shower base or threshold. Carefully set the Return Panel (#27) aside. Remove the Wall Brackets (#19) from the Return Panel (#27). Place the brackets against the outlined positions and mark the holes on the wall and threshold for drilling. (Fig 3) 2 1 3 4 inside Fig 3 4. Drill the holes in the wall using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#9b) for two of the Wall Brackets (#19).
5. Place the Return Panel (#27) back in the designated position and assemble the Wall Brackets (#19) onto the glass. Use the provided bracket gaskets and sleeves to protect the glass. (Fig 5) 6. Measure the distance from the finished wall to the inside surface of the installed Return Panel Glass (#27). This distance will represent the finished opening size “W” that will be used to calculate the finished cut dimension for the Upper Guide Rail (#03). (Fig 6) W W Fig 6 7.
8a. Attach the Upper Guide Rail (#03) to the Stationary Glass (#02) with the Glass Brackets (#07) and tighten the bolts into the predrilled holes in the Upper Guide Rail (#03). Make sure both adjustment disks are installed in the same direction with the high spot towards the door end. (see *Note below) Make sure that the guide rail is attached parallel with the top edge of the stationary panel glass. (Fig 8.3) *NOTE: The outer glass bracket disk has an eccentric bushing for adjustment.
9. Place the Stationary Glass (#02) with the Upper Guide Rail (#03) onto the threshold and position it against the wall. Fasten the Upper Guide Rail (#03) to the Return Panel (#27) using the Glass Connector (#28). (Fig 9a) Tighten the set screws to secure the guide rail bracket sleeve to the Glass Connector (#28).

ATTENTION: This step shows the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21) installation for the 72” model only (not included with the 48“ or 60” model). 10. If the model width is 72” and includes the Small Stationary Glass (#23), attach the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21) to the Upper Guide Rail for 72” (#24) between the Door Stopper (#01) and the Guide Rail Bracket (#08) as shown in Fig 10. This bracket will be repositioned during the installation of the Small Stationary Glass (#23).
12. If installing the 72” model: Unscrew the disk from the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21) and loosen the set screw that secures the bracket to the guide rail. If necessary, slide the Door Stopper (#01) away from the area so that it will not interfere with the placement of the Small Stationary Glass (#23). (Fig 12.2) Position the Small Stationary Glass (#23) onto the threshold and carefully butt it up against the installed Return Panel Glass (#27).
14. Make sure the Stationary Glass (#02) is parallel to the front edge of the threshold. Level it vertically (plumb) and mark the position on the threshold. Slide the Guide Block (#12) into the notch in the Stationary Glass (#02), and align it flush with the edge. Mark its position and also mark the hole for drilling using a pencil (or center punch).
! **NOTE: Step #16 has an option for installing the guide rail brackets to the wall using anchors. However, the manufacturer strongly recommends installing these heavy doors to the studs or to pre-installed 2”x 6” wood reinforcement behind the wall in the area where the guide rail brackets will be attached to the wall. **For the recommended installation into a stud, drill a Ø1/4” hole up to the stud, do not use wall anchors, and let the screw bore into the wood. 1 3** 16.
18. To install Guide Block (#12): Loosen the set screw and remove the guide block face plate. Apply silicone to the underside of the Guide Block (#12) and screw the Guide Block (#12) to the threshold as described below: *NOTE: ◾For installation into an Acrylic Threshold: drill an Ø1/8”(3mm) hole and use the ST4.2 x 40mm Countersunk Screw (#17) OR ◾For installation into a Tile Threshold: drill a Ø5/16”(8mm) hole, install Wall Anchor Ø5/16” (#09b) and use the ST4.
19. If installing the 72” model, repeat Step #18 for the Small 1 Stationary Glass Bottom Bracket (#22). Loosen the set screw and remove the guide block face plate. use a pencil or a center-punch to mark the hole 2 *NOTE: *see note ◾For installation into an Acrylic Threshold: drill an Ø1/8”(3mm) hole and use the ST4.2 x 40mm Countersunk Screw (#17) OR ◾For installation into a Tile Threshold: drill a Ø5/16”(8mm) hole and use the ST4.
20. Reposition the Stationary Glass (#02) and Upper Guide 1 Assemble the Wall Bracket (#19) at the bottom corner of the Stationary Glass (#02). Use the clear vinyl gasket between the glass and the metal parts to avoid contact with the glass, then tighten the bolt with the supplied allen wrench.
