Collapsible Dam Installation Instructions
For Modular Showers with Radius Corners
Fits all berglass reinforced models including: Acrylic, Gelcoat, Vikrel, Solid Surface, Composite, Cultured
Marble
Important considerations before you begin: Most manufactured units are designed with a radius
where the oor transitions or meets the wall. This is to ensure proper structural strength where the wall
meets the oor. The installation of end caps is highly recommended on radius models for proper t and n-
ish. The caps will also help to keep your curtain inside the water barrier. A properly sized curtain with heavy
tape weights combined with a water retainer is the most complete and effective system available today.
ORDER THE CORRECT LENGTH: Make sure you have ordered the correct length. Order one foot
longer. The water retainer strip is designed to travel along the oor to the wall radius until vertical, then
capped.
Identifying proper mounting location: It will be helpful to determine whether your berglass reinforced shower
unit has a small molded ridge or “water runoff assist” design on your unit. You will nd this feature on the oor of ap-
proximately 1-3 inches from the front entry edge of your shower unit. The inside edge of the water retainer should
rest on the crown of the ridge allowing the water to run off properly. Use this ridge as your guide to mounting the
retainer parallel with the water run-off ridge.
Models less the water run-off design ridge: All name brand barrier free showers that may not have water
run-off a ridge and applications such as tile, marble or cement oor surfaces, purchaser must determine the proper
mounting location and length.
