Congratulations on your purchase of a new Symphony Shower Enclosure! These instructions will guide you

thru the safe installation of your new enclosure. Please handle the glass panels carefully as tempered glass

is difficult to break but is vulnerable if the edges, especially the corners, strike a hard object. And remember

the most important safety rule – Always Wear Your Safety Glasses. These instructions will depict a door

hinged off the left wall. A protective coating of Enduro-Shield™ has been applied to both sides of the glass.

The label implies the coating is only on one side – please disregard.

Typically enclosures are installed with the door closest to the shower head for easy access to the controls.

Your Symphony Enclosure is completely reversible and may be installed with the door hinged on the left

wall, or the right wall. The door swings out and in. However, for safety and to meet building codes, the

outward swing of the door cannot be blocked. See the illustration below.

Carefully unpack the door and panel and using the box as a protective pad, stand them against the wall as shown. Note the tempering stamp and position the door and panel with the stamp to the bottom. Tempering Stamp Press Clear Shims Under Glass & Inside Bottom of the Clips 1” Remove the three clips, clear shims and alcohol wipes from the hardware box. Note there are two thicknesses of shims. Clean the corners of the glass with an alcohol pad and attach the clips to the fixed panel as shown.

Use a level to plumb the panel and mark the three hole positions with a Sharpie™. 4 Reposition the panel on the protective cardboard. Depending on materials used for your shower walls (tile, granite, marble, etc.) you will need multiple 3/16” bits to drill the total of nine holes required for installation. Consult with your local hardware store for advice on the proper bits and approximate number you will need. Drill the three marked holes.

5 Reposition the fixed panel and attach with the three screws provided. For proper alignment with the door, it is critical that this edge of the fixed panel is plumb. If necessary, loosen the set screws and plumb the panel by adding additional shims to one of the bottom clips. Securely re-tighten the three set screws with a flat screwdriver. If this wall is not plumb there may be an uneven gap between the glass and the wall. This will be corrected in Step 13.

7 8 Tighten the attachment studs with a Phillips screwdriver. Install the exterior handle with the washers and spacers in the order shown. You will begin the door installation with a 1/2” space at the bottom. This dimension will be adjusted in the following steps to align the door with the fixed panel. Create a temporary spacer by stacking wood shims until they are approximately 1/2” thick and temporarily securing with masking tape.

9 With the door temporarily supported by the wedges and the acrylic drip rail, adjust the door and the panel to the clearances shown. Adjust the fixed panel by loosening the set screws and sliding laterally. Use the wooden wedges to move the panel away from the wall and to establish the 1/8” space with the door.

11 Measure the bottom of the door and cut the clear acrylic drip rail to this dimension. Press the drip over the bottom of the door with the angled water deflector to the interior Interior 12 Use of the dam strip is optional but recommended if your curb does not have a slope to the interior. Measure and cut to length, clean the curb and apply with the double stick tape. The drip may be adjusted to just barely touch the dam strip.

13 Using a good grade of clear silicone, seal the interior and exterior of the fixed panel. Use the silicone to fill the small gap at the bottom of the panel and any gap between the panel and the wall. If you are not comfortable with your caulking skills, there are number of excellent how-to videos on YouTube. Do not use the door for 24 hours to allow the silicone to cure. Once the silicone has cured, Clean your new Symphony door with a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
