Attach the side plate with silicone applied to the glass and tighten the screws until
the hinge is secure. Wipe off the excess and allow to dry.
Repeat these steps for the bottom hinge.
You will also find a Vinyl Water Shield for the bottom hinge. This can be added in
between the glass door and the side plate to help keep water in the shower
should
you have a smaller shower or a shower-head pointed towards the door.
(dia. 19a)
See Images below for illustrated installation examples. You may trim the
Water
Shield as needed.
C - Fixed Glass Panel Installation
1.
Carefully lift the glass panels and set them into the side casings channels make sure the
glass panels are firmly agenst the pan threshold step down ledge.(Dia 8a)(Dia. 20a &
b).
The glass channels in the shower pan and
side casings will hold the glass in
place while dry-fitting the panels and door.

The gap between the glass panels and the door should be ¼".
(dia. 21)

easure the positioning of the glass panels to ensure they are in the correct
position. Check that the glass is level across the top and also the vertical
edges
are square and straight to each other. Measure diagonally to check
for
straightness. Make any necessary adjustments.
(dia. 21a)
3. Locate the header pieces and lay them out in the correct orientation on the
shower pan threshold.
(dia. 22)
If your shower is not a square then one piece will
be longer than the other. Place the long piece on the longer side and the short
piece on the short side.
Make sure the glass panels are still positioned correctly inside channels. Adjust
the panels if necessary.
Dry fit the header side pieces and make sure the ends meet with the side
casing caps
(not installed)
and the glass panels fit in the channels correctly.
Depending on how square the walls are, you may need to sand the edges of
the side pieces to make them fit properly.
(dia. 22)
After everything is lined up correctly, remove the header pieces. (Diag 21)
