Notes:
This is a two person installation.
All marks made on tile, marble or fiberglass should be made lightly in
pencil so they can be removed after the installation is complete. An
optional method is to use masking tape on the walls and sill that can be
removed as the installation progresses.
1
Establish Centerlines – The centerlines of the unit must be established
on the shower sill and on the walls as well. Measure the width of
the shower sill and mark the centerline down the middle. Transfer the
centerline to the walls using a level. Mark Header Bar [D] location at 2”
less than the unit height, on the centerline. Measure, and write down, the
distance between the two Wall Mount marks.
2
Bar Mount –
Drill the Wall Mount holes 5/16”. Insert the Wall Anchors
[A] fully into the holes. Place the Wall Mount Blocks [B] against the
wall with the counter bore to the middle of the enclosure. Using the 1/4 x
2” Truss head screws [C], attach the Wall Mount Block to the wall, with the
slot in a vertical position and the screw centered in the block.
3
Bar Length - Measure the width of the fixed glass panel [F]. Subtract
2 3/8” from that dimension. Measure from the center of the middle
hole in the bar to the fixed panel end of the bar and cut that end off (The
fixed panel end is the one with the second hole in it). Now subtract
1 3/4” from the measurement taken in step 1, which is the overall
width of the shower opening at the top. Then take that measure
from the newly cut end of the bar to the uncut end and cut that
end off of the bar.
4
Level the Bar – Temporarily place the Wall Mount Sleeves [E] on each
end of the Header Bar. Align the Header Bar with the Wall Mount
Block, and slide the Wall Mount Sleeves over the Wall Mount Blocks. Place
a level on the center of the Header Bar and check for level. If needed the
Wall Mount Blocks can be raised, or lowered to make the Header Bar level.
Once leveled, remove the Header Bar from the Wall Mount Blocks, and the
Wall Mount Sleeves from the Header Bar.
NOTE:
A slight downward tilt
on the door side of the Header Bar will help keep the door in the closed
position while in use. A downward tilt on the Fixed Panel side will cause
the door to open, allowing water leakage.
FOOT PRINT -
The width of the Door unit's base is 2 1/16"
Consider these measurements before drilling.
