Installation Instructions

Installation Steps with Finished End Caps
1. Thoroughly clean threshold surface of all soap scum and debris using standard
bath cleanser. Chemically clean surface with rubbing alcohol.
2. Verify the required length anticipating the vertical rise, making certain there is
enough retainer strip to make a vertical rise on the end walls.
3. Determine and mark center point of shower.
4. Determine and mark center point of water retainer strip.
5. Turn over water retainer strip and make cut on orange peel off strip at half way
mark. Peel off a portion (approx. 4”) of the orange peel off strip in one direction
exposing the adhesive.
6. Align strip with pre-determined pencil mark or molded ridge crown of shower
unit starting at the half way mark. Press on and adhere approximately 4” of strip.
Pull and stretch to wall and align before removing remainder of orange peel off
strip. Press into place.
7. Peel, stretch, alien and pull remaining half to wall. Press into place.
8. Push in the male end of your end cap into the water retainer. Adhere end cap to
unit with adhesive caulk and wipe clean. White or clear adhesive type caulk is
recommended.
9. Use masking tape to temporarily hold cap in place until adhesive cures.
10. Optional: The outer edges beneath the retainer may be caulked if desired to
prevent soap and shower debris from lodging beneath the retainer. The adhesive
tape does not extend to the edge (by design) to allow the retainer to absorb the
impact energy of a rolling shower chair in high use applications. Wipe off excess
caulk and let cure (according to caulk specifications) prior to shower use.
Steps less Finished End Caps
1. Thoroughly clean threshold surface of all soap scum and debris using standard
bath cleanser. Chemically clean surface with rubbing alcohol.
2. Verify the required length anticipating the radius shaping required on each end of
the strip.
3. Determine the shape of the end cut required for proper fit and finishing.
4. Begin at one end only.
5. Create template of wall shape (if necessary) with cardboard or material of choice.
6. Trace shape onto retainer, cut and trim with utility knife.
7. Beginning on the shaped end, peel back a small 4” section of the orange peel off
strip.
8. Align strip with pre-determined pencil mark or molded ridge crown of unit. Press
on and adhere the 4” section of exposed strip into place.
9. Before removing remainder of orange peel off strip, stretch retainer to opposite
wall, mark and template for proper location proceeding final cut.
10. Remove remaining orange peel off strip and stretch retainer to its final position.
Press and adhere into place.
11. Caulk end cuts and wipe clean. A silicone adhesive caulk is recommended.
12. Optional: The outer edges beneath the retainer may be caulked if desired to
prevent soap and shower debris from lodging beneath the retainer. The adhesive
tape does not extend to the edge by design to allow the retainer to absorb the
impact energy of a rolling shower chair in high use applications. Wipe off excess
caulk and let cure (according to caulk specifications) prior to shower use.
