INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER DOORS BY AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON MAY RESULT IN GLASS BREAKAGE AND CONSEQUENTLY, CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. - Handle fragile items with care to prevent personal injury or material damage. - The glass panels are tempered and cannot be cut. Never attempt to do so.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION Installer is responsible for determining attachment method. Anchors are provided as one means of installation. Recommended installation is into studs behind the wall. This is the strongest means of installation. PREPARATION STEPS TO FOLLOW BEFORE INSTALLATION 1. 2. Remove the plastic layer from the base border (if needed). Do NOT remove the plastic layer off the plastic platform of the base or from the face of the hardware until installation is complete.
INSTALLATION STEPS A. INSTALLING THE FRONT FIXED PANEL 1. Arrange the front fixed panel (#5) to the preferred configuration to determine the orientation of glass supports (#29). Install the side seal strip (#7) to the wall side of the front fixed panel. A1 7 5 WALL SIDE 2. A2 Screw in the glass support (#29) with the hex key to the front fixed panel. Be sure to use washers on both sides of the panel. 29 THIN GASKETS 5 3. A3 Mark holes on the wall for the mounting screws after leveling panel.
4. Remove the front fixed panel and drill holes into the wall. Insert plastic anchors (#17) into the holes. ! Not necessary if installing into studs. Studs are the preferred means of installation, anchors can pull out of the wall causing property damage and bodily harm. There is a 10mm adjustment built into the glass supports for minor modifications. A4 17 There is a 10mm adjustment built into the bracket. 10mm 5. Replace the front fixed panel. Screw into the wall with 1 5/8" hex screws (#13).
B. INSTALLING THE TURNING HINGE BASE 1. Unscrew the plate on the turning hinge base mirrored (#2) and mount the turning hinge base mirrored into the lower corner of the front fixed panel (#5). B1 2 PLATE INSIDE VIEW 5 2 OUTSIDE VIEW 2. Mark a hole on the floor for the mounting screw for the turning hinge base mirrored.
3. Remove the turning hinge base mirrored and drill a hole into the floor on the marked location. Insert plastic anchor (#16) into the hole. B3 5 16 4. Mount the turning hinge base mirrored again, carefully cover the plate and tighten the screw from inside the shower .
5. Screw the turning hinge base mirrored into the floor with 1 1/8" Phillips screw (#15). Make sure the glass panel is perpendicular to the wall. B5 5 15 2 16 6. Remove the screw that connects the structural arm on the floor mount portion of part (#2). Removing this is to prevent personal injury, silicone the void to prevent water entry.
7. Mount the turning hinge base (#1) to the upper corner of the front fixed panel, cover the plate and tighten the screw from inside the shower. B7 1 PLATE INSIDE VIEW 1 5 2 C. 1. INSTALLING THE STRUCTURAL ARM Attach the structural arm (#30) to the top turning hinge base (#1) .Note that the structural arm has an adjustable screw hole of 1/2" length. This will allow for flexibility and proper install placement. Make sure the structural arm is level.
2. Mark two holes on the wall for the mounting screws for the structural arm (#30). C2 30 1 5 2 3. Remove the structural arm (#30) from the top turning hinge base and drill holes into the wall at the marked locations. Insert plastic anchors (#16) into the holes.
4. Resecure the structural arm to the turning hinge base and tighten the screw connecting the turning hinge base and the structural arm. C4 1/2" TOLERANCE ADJUSTMENT 30 1 16 30 INSIDE VIEW 1 5 OUTSIDE VIEW 5.
D. INSTALLING THE DOOR PANEL 1. Insert the convex portion of the turning hinge mirrored (#4) into the concave point of the turning hinge base mirrored (#2). D1 1 5 4 2 2. D2 One installer manually inserts the convex portion of the turning hinge (#3) into the concave portion of the turning hinge base (#1) and holds the position. The hinges should be turned to a slightly open position.
3. The other installer lifts the door panel (#6) and gently slides it into both turning hinges at the same time. Stop the sliding of the door panel at the proper location based on the pre-determined configuration or the specific site space requirements. ! Make sure the plastic (PVC) washers do not move from their desired position and wrap the glass while staying inside the turning hinges.
4. Tighten three screws on both turning hinges from inside the shower, respectively, making sure the door panel is tightly secured by these two hinges and level. D4 3 6 4 INSIDE VIEW E. INSTALLING THE SIDE PANEL 1. Install the side seal strip (#7) to the wall side of the side panel (#18).
2. 3. Screw in the glass supports (#29) with the hex key to the front fixed panel. Be sure to use washers on both sides of the panel and make sure the glass shelf holes are closer to the top of the panel. Install the magnetic seal strips (#19) onto the door panel and the side panel (#18). Note: F-shaped seal strip (#23) may be installed to the door panel at this point if customers choose not to install the side panel due to space constraints.
4. 5. Loosen the screws on the turning hinges so the door can slide. Arrange the side panel in alignment with the door panel (#6) by attaching the magnetic seal strips to one another (#19). Keep both panels perpendicular to the walls. NOTE: One person should be holding the side panel and door panel closed (with the magnetic seal strips on) while the other person slides them towards the wall until the glass supports meet the wall. This will ensure a proper seal.
6. Remove the side panel and drill holes into the wall. Insert plastic anchors (#17) into the holes. E6 17 WALL 7. Replace the side panel. Screw into the wall with 1 5/8 " hex screws (#13).
F. INSTALLING THE GLASS SHELF 1. Unthread the shelf glass holder cap (#22), insert threaded portion of shelf glass holder into the hole of the side glass panel (#18) and then thread the holder cap back on. The upper glass shelf should be installed first. 2. F1 18 22 22 Slide the glass shelf (#22) into the holder and tighten the screw from underneath part (#22) to firmly hold the glass shelf in place.
3. Use a level to make sure that glass shelf is level against the wall. Mark holes on the wall for the mounting screws for the glass shelf holder (to wall) (#21). F3 18 20 21 20 21 4. Loosen the screw of the shelf glass holder (#22) from underneath and remove the shelf glass (#20) from the side panel. Drill holes into the wall. Insert plastic anchors (#16) into the holes. F4 18 22 16 5. Install two shelf glass holder s (#21) with 1 5/8" phillips screws (#14).
6. Slide the shelf glass into the three shelf glass holders and tighten the screws from underneath. Repeat 1-6 to install the lower shelf glass. F6 18 20 21 22 20 21 22 G. INSTALLING THE HANDLE 1. Unscrew the handle holders from the handle assembly (#8). Place the handle to the position on the door. Place plastic washers on each side of the door. Tighten the handle nuts from inside the shower.
H. INSTALLING SEAL STRIPS 1. Install the door side seal strip (#12) to the door when the door edge towards the wall is away from the turning hinge base (#1). If maximum length of the shower enclosure is required and the door edge is within rubbing distance of the glass support install the side seal strip without bump (#9). 2. H1 6 9 or 12 Install the door bottom seal strip (#10) onto the bottom of the door panel.
I. INSTALLING THE DOOR THRESHOLD 1. Measure the distance from side to side under the door and cut the threshold to the proper length. Note that there are screw holes on both sides of the threshold, this makes the unit reversible. Please make sure the threshold end with a screw hole (that was not cut off during the sizing process) should be always placed by the side of hinge base mirrored (#2). I1 2 VIEW WITH PART 4 REMOVED 11 SCREW HOLE I2 2.
5. Slide the right end of the door threshold (#11) into the right threshold clip (#25) that has been screwed to the floor. Place the left threshold end cup (#28) on the left end of the door threshold. Then carefully align the door threshold and threshold end cup under the door panel. The threshold end cup should be placed against the turning point of the hinge base mirrored. Make sure the door threshold is in alignment with the side panel.
