TEMPERED GLASS WARNING
•
Your Shower Door Glass Could Shatter Without Warning if Improperly Installed or
Mishandled
•
Do Not install or operate a shower door if the glass has chipped corners, slivered edges or
is otherwise damaged and/or has been dropped or banged into a hard surface such as
tile, marble or glass.
•
The main causes of tempered glass breakage are:
o
Improper handling, storage or installation
o
Misuse/abuse
o
Lack of maintenance
o
Failure to replace damaged glass
o
Improper handling during storage, unpacking and installation:
o
Corners and edges are the most susceptible area to damage on a lite of tempered
glass and should be protected and handled with care during storage, unpacking,
installation and operation. A concentrated point of pressure or impact with a surface
harder than itself may cause the tempered glass to shatter. The tempered glass may
release immediately, within several hours or even days later.
o
Incorrect installation of door hardware, rollers, hinges, channels, stopper or glass:
o
Improper installation may include: loose hardware and/or lack of proper gaskets
between the hardware and glass. Additionally, improper alignment of guide rails, wall
profiles or other hardware during installation or operation may place stress on the
glass edges and cause it to break.
o
This product must be installed by a professional and experienced installer familiar with
the safe handling of tempered glass.
o
Improper use of this product:
o
Aggressively opening or closing the door may cause trauma to the glass, which can
lead to breakage. This may occur immediately or hours or even days later.
o
The shower door hardware and glass should be inspected periodically:
Instruct the homeowner how to perform a periodic inspection of the shower
hardware and glass - some minor adjustments may be necessary based upon
the use (or misuse) of the shower door. Ensure that the hardware remains tight
and that the door alignment and operation are correct. Any adjustments
should be made upon discovery to prevent damage to the product.
Additional considerations should be given to the installation of frameless
tempered glass products in households with young children or an elderly
person due to an increased chance of improper handling. In such cases,
alternatives such as shower curtains or grab bars should be considered.
GENERAL PREPARATION
•
After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction carefully. Check that all the
items are included in the package by marking off the components on the
“Detailed
Diagram of Product Components”
page. Examine all boxes and packages for shipping
damage. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or is missing parts; please
contact our Customer Support department within 3 business days of the delivery date.
Please note that DreamLine® will not replace any damaged products or missing
parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed.
Please
contact DreamLine® if you have any questions.
•
Please note that you should refer to your local building codes with questions on
installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by
location, and DreamLine® is not responsible for code compliance standards for your
project and will not accept any returns.
•
If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, install all the required plumbing
and drainage before installing the shower.
Use a competent and licensed (if required
by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.
•
Make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and
will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right
angles. Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls
will result in serious problems for your installation. Please note that some adjustments
and drilling will be necessary during the installation process.
•
Protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down
directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until it is necessary to remove
them. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners
of the glass prior to and during installation.
•
This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.
•
