Tools: To install your New Shower Enclosure, you may need the following: Drill Pencil Hack Saw 1/8” & 3/16” Drill Bit Low Tack Tape Caulk Gun Center Punch Tape Measure Clear Silicone Caulk Files 4’ & 6’ Levels Suction Cups #2 Phillips Screwdriver Safety Notes: This unit is best installed by two people. Handle the glass panels carefully and protect the edges.
If a continuous unit centerline does not exist from the original measuring process, it will be necessary to create one. Referencing the Measuring Guide included with this unit, lightly mark a continuous unit centerline on the threshold. Next, mark a continuous unit centerline up each wall, starting where the threshold centerline meets the wall. Use a level to ensure the wall centerline is plumb and straight. The wall centerlines should be a minimum of the unit height from the threshold.
Proper structural backing is required for installation of any door panel. An example of proper backing is two (2) 2x4 studs back to back. Failure to ensure proper backing may lead to damage or personal injury from improper installation Place two 7/16” shims on the curb or threshold. These shims must remain in place throughout the installation process. One person must position themselves inside the shower, and have an assistant on the outside.
After the door is installed plumb and square, measure the remaining curb opening from the door to the wall. (1) 2. After horizontal u-channel has been installed, measure from top of horizontal u-channel to top of door to get vertical u-channel length. Cut the bottom u-channel your measured width minus 3/16”. (example: if the remaining width is 36”, cut the u-channel to 35 13/16”.) Once cut, set horizontal u-channel in place to check proper fit.
With a pencil, carefully mark each hole position on the threshold centerline. Remove the u-channels and drill a 3/16” diameter hole, approximately 1-1/2” deep, at the marked locations. Insert a small amount of silicon into each drilled hole, then insert a wall anchor into each hole. (Note: Drill hole, then insert a wall anchor.) This must be done just before u-channel installation. Carefully cut the heads off the wall anchors with a razor blade.
Place 1/8” setting blocks as shown or approximately every 18”. DO NOT place setting blocks over screw heads. Using suction cups slide the Fixed Panel Glass into the appropriate side. Use setting blocks to make exposed edges of the glass level and plumb. Exposed edges MUST be level and plumb before moving to next step. **Different size setting blocks may be required depending on level conditions.
*NOTE: Once unit is fully adjusted and gaps between panels are properly set, door hinges need to be shimmed to prevent door slippage. On the interior face of the glass, place a strip of low tack tape on the glass about 1/8” to 3/16” away from edge of the uchannel both vertically and horizontally. Run a small bead of silicone along this edge. Next, on the interior, run a bead of silicone between the u-channel and the threshold and also between the u-channel and the wall.
Installing Handles: Assemble parts as shown. Screw washers, end plates, and gaskets into one side of the handle through the glass. Then align the other side of the handle onto the bushing and tighten the set screws. Gasket End Plate Screw Bushing Handle Washer Screw Set Screw Clear Bushing QCI-5306 REV.
