Place four setting blocks [
H
] in the curb assembly
[
A
] to support the two fixed glass panels [
J
]. Position
the blocks 3" from each corner of the panels. Remove
any protective strips from the first glass panel and set
it into place on the setting blocks and approximately
½" into the wall jamb [
E
]. A strip of masking tape ½”
from each vertical edge of the glass will aid alignment.
NOTE: Obscure glass panels should be installed with
the rough surface of the glass to the exterior of the unit.
Press a 135° post [
K
] into the curb assembly. It should
overlap the glass panel by ½”. Use masking tape to
hold the post in position temporarily. Repeat the glass
and post installation on the opposite panel.
NOTE: To facilitate out of plumb walls, the ½” glass
bite may be varied from 1/4” to 3/4".
Wipe the shower walls and sill, curb assem-
bly [
A
], and wall jambs [
E
] with a clean, dry cloth
to remove any dust or debris. Apply a 1/4" bead of
caulk along the inside of both of the pencil lines
marked in Step
#3
. Carefully replace the curb in
the exact position marked. Caulk the inside of the
curb ends where they meet the wall. Caulk gener-
ously around the anchor plates [
B
], screws [
C
],
and the inside of the mitered joints.
Replace both wall jambs and attach to the wall
with six #8 x 1 1/2" truss head screws [
G
].

Place the two wall jambs [
E
] into the ends of
the curb assembly [
A
]. Masking tape may be used
to hold the curb in place during this operation.
Plumb the jambs and mark the hole locations on
the wall. Remove all parts and drill the walls for
mounting hardware.
For tile or marble walls, drill six 1/4” diameter
holes and insert the plastic wall anchors [
F
].
Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic units can be
made in two ways. If a reinforcement is built into
the wall of unit, drill six 1/8" holes to install
mounting screws directly into the reinforcement.
If walls are not reinforced, drill six 1/4” holes and
install plastic wall anchors or toggle bolts (toggle
bolts not supplied by A
LUMAX
).
