(Fig 2) the wall to represent the centerline of the U-channel. Make sure the line is parallel to the front edge of the threshold or tub deck.
3. Position the u-channels and Hinge Panel Glass Bracket on the centerlines to mark the holes for drilling. (Fig 3) Fig 3 UNIDOOR-X Tub Door manual Ver 1 10/2016 4. Mark the hole positions on the centerline on the wall and tub deck through the holes in the u-channels and the hinge panel glass bracket.
5. Drill Ø5/16” holes in the wall and install the wall anchors. Drill Ø1/8” holes into the threshold or tub deck (or Ø5/16” holes and anchors for a tile threshold). (Fig 5) 6. Apply silicone to the back of the u-channels and the screw holes, then install the u-channels and Hinge Panel Glass Bracket using the ST4.2 x 40mm screws (#23).
7. Add the 0.5mm shims into the bottom u-channel. Apply silicone into the u-channels. (Fig 7) 8. Install the hinge panel glass into the u-channel. (Note the top and bottom of the hinge panel glass) Install the Hinge Panel Glass bracket gasket. (Fig 8) Hinge panel Glass bracket top 7-7/8” bot t om 8-3/8” cut and install two 2”pcs of the 0.
