MAINTENANCE: Two primary materials are used to manufacture your new shower enclosure:temperedglass and anodized aluminum. To assure a long lasting finish on the enclosure, wipe it down with a towel aftereach use. Never use a scouring agent to clean the aluminum.

For occasional, more concentrated cleaning efforts, we find that Lysol Bathroom Cleaner works extremelywell. Be sure that any over spray falling on the aluminum frame is rinsed thoroughly and dried. Many over-the-counter cleaners, if applied to the aluminum and left on, will harm the metal finish and cause permanentdamage, even though their directions indicate safe use on shower doors.

INSTALLATION NOTES: Unpack your unit carefully and inspect for freight damage. Layout and identifyall parts using the instruction sheets as a reference. Before discarding the carton, check to see that no smallhardware parts have fallen to the bottom of the box. If any parts are damaged or missing, refer to thedescriptions noted in the instructions when contacting your dealer for replacements.

Handle the glass panels carefully and protect the edges. Safety tempered glass is very resistant to breakage, butthe sharp corners of the panels can damage tile and floor surfaces.

Please wear safety glasses whenever drilling or cutting. When drilling holes in the ceramic tile or marble, use acenter punch and hammer to carefully break the surface glaze so the drill can start without skidding.

To install your shower door you will need the following: tape measure, level, #2 Phillips screwdriver,3/16” wrench, drill, 1/8” and 3/16” drill bits, hacksaw, pencil, and caulking (clear silicone recommended).Optional tools include a miter box for cutting parts to length, files, center punch, and masking tape.

NOTE: Tempered glass cannot be cut.

Although safety tempered glass is very resistant to breakage, theglass can still break if unequal pressure is placed on it duringinstallation. Use caution. In addition, the sharp corners of thepanels can damage tile and floor surfaces, so it is best to handlethe glass panels carefully and protect the edges.

The Frameless Pivot Shower Door is completely reversible and may be installed pivot right or pivotleft. Refer to the illustration to determine the correct position for your installation. For maximumwaterproofing, the pivot jamb should always beopposite the shower head. These instructions depict apivot-left installation.

CAUTION: For safety, the door must always openoutward.

Note: The unit may be installed withoutusing the sloped curb [A] provided. Its use is definitelyrecommended for positive water control on shower sillswith little or no slope.

Measure the wall to wall opening at the shower sill andcut the curb to the exact length. File the ends of curb asnecessary to fit the corner contours of the enclosure.Place the curb on the shower sill with the RAISEDportion to the exterior of the enclosure. Make sure thecurb is centered on the sill and lightly mark its positionon the sill with a pencil. Remove the curb from the sill.

Run two beads of caulk along the flat surfaceson the bottom of the curb [A]. Then replace the curb onthe shower sill in the exact position marked in Step #2.Press firmly into place with the raised portion to theexterior of the enclosure.

NOTE: Improper caulking will result in leaks.

Cut the clear pivot jamb seal vinyl [C] 3/4”shorter than the pivot jamb [D]. Slide the jamb sealvinyl into the slot in the pivot jamb. Lubricating thevinyl with a small amount of soapy water will helpinstallation. Slide one of the pivot brackets [E] into thebottom of the pivot jamb. Lock it in place with a #6 x3/8” truss head screw [F] and a #8-32 x 1/8” set screw[G] (a 5/64” Allen wrench [H] is provided).

NOTE: Set screws [F] are pre-installed.

Place the pivot jamb assembly on the curb [A]with the exterior face lined up with the raised edge ofthe curb. Use a level to plumb the jamb then mark themounting hole locations. Remove the jamb and drill themounting holes.

For tile or marble walls, drill three 3/16” diameter holesand insert the plastic wall anchors [J]. Attachments tofiberglass or acrylic units can be made in two ways. Ifreinforcement is built into the wall of the unit, drillthree 1/8” diameter holes to install mounting screwsdirectly into the reinforcement. If walls are notreinforced, drill 3/16” holes and install plastic wallanchors or Molly bolts. Molly bolts are not supplied.

Replace the pivot jamb and attach to the wall with three#8 x 2” truss head screws [K].

NOTE: Obscure glass or etched glass doorsshould be installed with the rough or patterned surfaceof the glass to the exterior of the unit.

Glazed doors [L] with obscure or etched glass will haveshort rails installed with full width vinyl on both ends.Determine which end will be the bottom. Using amallet or a hammer and wood block (never a hammeralone), carefully drive the bottom rail [M] over thebottom edge of the glass and vinyl, (spraying glasscleaner or water onto the vinyl will make assemblyeasier), snug to the factory installed rail. Both railsshould be set back 1/8” from the pivot edge of the doorand the bottom rail should end 1/8” from the strikeedge. Trim the excess vinyl even with the ends of therails.

Measure the distance from wall to wall directly abovethe curb (Dim. “A”). Deduct 3 ¾” from this amountand position the pivot pins this exact distance (Dim“B”) from the strike edge of the glass. Tighten the setscrews just enough to prevent the pivot blocks frommoving (finger tight plus a quarter turn). A 3/16”wrench (not supplied) will fit the set screw heads.

Insert a nylon pivot bushing [R] into thebottom pivot bracket [E]. Slip the second pivot bushingover the top pivot pin on the door panel [L]. Positionthe door by inserting the bottom pivot pin into thebottom pivot bracket. Hold the door panel vertical andslide the top pivot bracket into the pivot jamb [D] andover the top pivot pin and pivot bushing. Secure the toppivot bracket with a #6 x 3/8” truss head screw [F] anda #8-32 x 1/8” allen set screw [G].

Measure the height of the glass door and divide inhalf, using this measurement mark the center of the doorpanel. Center the handle vinyl at the previous mark. Alignthe handle to the vinyl and with a non metal hammer drivethe handle onto door. Place the strike jamb on the doorwith about one inch of the strike jamb extending abovethe door. Close the door and align the door to the bottomcurb. Mark the position of the strike jamb with a pencil,open the door and remove the strike jamb. Align the jambto the pencil mark and mark the center hole only, removethe jamb and drill the hole. Insert a plastic anchor in thecenter hole, replace the jamb and attach with one #8 x 1½” flat head screw. Close the door and check thealignment of the jamb tothe door, if the door is slightly bowed push the jamb tothe door. Hold the jamb into place, open the door andmark the top hole location, repeat for the bottom. Loosenthe center screw and move the strike jamb slightly so youcan drill the other two holes.

Insert the tapered drip vinyl [X] into the drip rail. Positionthe drip rail flush with the bottom and pivot side of the doorpanel [L], then raise the strike side until the bottom edge ofthe drip vinyl is parallel to the curb [A]. Mark the location ofeach end of the drip rail with a pencil. Peel off the tapebacking and carefully press the drip rail to the door in theposition marked.

Adjust the drip vinyl [X] by sliding it left or rightuntil it just touches the curb. Trim the vinyl (flush with thepivot end and notch 1/2” longer than the drip rail as shownon the strike end). Secure it with one #6 x 3/8” truss headscrew [F] in the pivot end of the drip rail.

The drip plug [Y] is supplied with a left and right hand plugtogether. Break the right and left drip plug apart and insertthe appropriate plug into the high (strike) side of the drip rail.Discard the unused drip plug. Peel off the tape backing andcarefully press the drip rail to the door in the markedposition.
