Installation steps 1. Check both finished walls to make sure they are plumb and check the threshold to make sure it is level across the opening. (Fig 1) NOTE: This model does not allow for out-of-plumb or out-of-level adjustment. Top NOTE: This model requires a minimum 2-1/4” of flat threshold space for installation. Middle Bottom ! 2-1/4 " Minimum flat threshold space required Fig 1 2. Measure the finished opening width at the model height.

NOTE: Use a metal file to remove any burrs from the cut end of the Guide Rail (#04). Metal File door end (L) ! Cut from the door end only which is the end opposite from the holes Fig 2b 3.
4. Align the edge of the U-Channel (for Panel Glass) (#01) to the inside of the reference mark on the threshold. Use a level to hold the U-channel plumb and mark the position of the U-Channel (for Panel Glass) (#01) on the wall. Also mark the four holes for drilling through the pre-drilled holes in the U-channel. (Fig 4) U-Channel reference mark Fig 4 5.

Hold the bracket in place 1-1/4” from the outside of the U-channel (as shown in Fig 6a) and mark the wall at the bottom of the bracket.
7. Hold the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) in the marked position on the wall and mark the hole for drilling through the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) using a pencil (or center punch). (Fig 7) (=) CL (=) The guide rail wall bracket should be centered in the bracket as shown to allow for vertical adjustment both up and down. top ! Note that the bottom of the bracket is thicker than the top and must be installed correctly bottom Fig 7 8. Drill a Ø5/16” anchor hole and insert a Wall Anchor (#16).
9. Dry fit the Stationary Panel Glass (#02) into the installed U-Channel (For Panel Glass) (#01). Do not use silicone at this time. (Fig 9) Use a professional grade glass suction cup if available ! Use Caution not to bang the glass into the U-Channel or threshold. Fig 9 10. Make sure the Stationary Panel Glass (#02) is parallel to the front edge of the threshold and mark the position of the glass on the threshold (This line will be different from the line drawn in step#3).
11. Remove the Stationary Panel Glass (#02) from the U-Channel (For Panel Glass) (#01) and carefully set it aside. (Fig 11) Fig 11 12. To install the Guide Block (#12): Loosen the set screw on the side and remove the guide block face plate. (Fig 12.
! TIP: Bring the Door Glass into the shower before the final installation of the Stationary Panel Glass (#02) and Guide Rail (#04). DOO 13. Apply silicone into the U-Channel (For Panel Glass) (#01). R Slide the Stationary Glass (#02) firmly into the installed U-Channel (For Panel Glass) (#01). (Fig 13) PAN EL Fig 13 ! Use Caution not to bang the glass into the U-channel or threshold. 14. Attach the Stoppers (#05) and Guide Rail Brackets (#06) to both ends of the Guide Rail (#04).
15. Align the panel end of the Guide Rail (#04) with the installed Guide Rail Wall Bracket (#6b). Slide the Guide Rail Bracket (#06a) over the Guide Rail Wall Bracket (#06b) and tighten the set screws. (Fig 15) 1 2 Fig 15 ! TIP: Leave the set screws that hold the Guide Rail (#04) to the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) loose for now to allow for side-to-side adjustment of the guide rail to make it easier to align the holes in the guide rail with the holes in the panel glass.
17. Level the Guide Rail (#04) across the opening. If necessary, use the set screws on the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) to adjust the level of the Guide Rail (#04). (Fig 17 and Fig 18) 1 To lower the rail: Loosen the top set screw and tighten the bottom set screw. To raise the rail: Loosen the bottom set screw and tighten the top set screw. 2 ! NOTE: It is important that the guide rail is level when marking the position of the Guide Rail bracket on the wall. 18.
19. Remove the Guide Rail (#04) from the Stationary Panel Glass (#02). Remove the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) from the Guide Rail (#04) from the door end, hold it back in position on the wall and mark the anchor hole. Drill a Ø5/16” hole. Separate the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) components (06a and 06b). Attach the Guide Rail Wall Bracket (#06b) to the wall using one ST4.2 x 55mm Countersunk Screw (#21).
. Measure the distance from the edge of the Guide Block (#12) to the wall. This distance will be (L). Cut the Anti-Splash Threshold (#11) to the size of: (L). (Fig 21) L Fig 21 L 22. Apply silicone to the bottom of the Anti-Splash Threshold (#11). Remove the face plate from the Guide Block (#12). Insert one end of the Anti-Splash Threshold (#11) fully into the Guide Block (#12) and replace the guide block face plate.
23. Secure the Anti-Splash Threshold (#11) to the threshold with several pieces of painter’s tape to hold it in position tight to the threshold until the silicone cures. (Fig 23) Painter’s Tape ! NOTE: DO NOT install the handle onto the door glass until instructed. DO NOT attempt to lift the glass using the handle. This could result in damage to the glass and/or serious personal injury. Always use an assistant or a professional grade glass suction cup when handling heavy glass.
25. Align the bottom of the Door Glass (#03) with the Guide Block (#12) and hang the door from the Guide Rail (#04). (Fig 25) 1 2 ! inside TIP: Place a pair of 1/2” shims onto the threshold while installing the Door Glass onto the Guide Rail. Remove the shims once the door is supported by the guide rail. 3 Fig 25 1/2” Shims 26. Attach the lower Rollers (#08) onto the Door Glass (#03) just below the Guide Rail (#04) with the wheels facing out. Apply Thread Lock (#20) to the roller bolts.
27. To install the SafeStop™ Bumper (#26) with the 3M tape: Remove the 3M Tape backing and position the SafeStop™ Bumper (#26) onto the threshold against the U-Channel (#01) on the stationary panel side of the installation. (Fig 27) ! NOTE: The surfaces need to be clean and free of construction debris before installing the bumper. Wipe the area with an alcohol swab before installation TIP: Install the SafeStop™ Bumper (#26) using the 3M tape.
28. To install the SafeStop™ Bumper (#26) with the screw method: Remove the PVC insert and position the SafeStop™ Bumper (#26) onto the threshold and against the u-channel on the stationary panel side of the installation and mark the position of the hole on the wall. Drill a Ø5/16” hole and insert the Anchor (#16). Remove the 3M Tape backing and position the SafeStop™ Bumper (#26) onto the threshold against the U-Channel (#01). Screw to the wall using the ST4.
29. Hold the U-Channel (For Door Glass) (#27) against the wall on the door side of the opening to align it with the door glass and mark its position on the wall. **Partially insert two of the U-Channel Bumper Inserts (#28) at the top and bottom and close the door into the U-Channel (For Door Glass) (#27). Mark the position of the U-Channel (For Door Glass) (#27) on the wall along the outside edge. Open the door, hold the U-Channel (For Door Glass) (#27) in place on the wall and mark the holes for drilling.
! TIP: Cover the shower/tub drain before removing the set screws to prevent loss. 30. Remove the set screws from the panel-side Stopper (#05) and apply Thread Lock Adhesive (#20) to each set screw. Re-insert the set screws into the stopper. Open the door and position the stopper where the door glass makes contact with the SafeStop™ Bumper at the bottom. Tighten the set screws firmly to the Guide Rail (#04).
31. Attach the Handle (#15) to the outside of the Door Glass (#03) Make sure all gaskets are in place. Attach the Anti-Water Strips (#13) to the edges of the Stationary Panel Glass (#02) and Door Glass (#03) where they overlap. (Fig 31) 2 1 Doo r outside Fig 31 32. Apply good quality mildew-resistant silicone along the connection of the u-channels with the walls and the stationary glass with the threshold. (Fig 35) 24 Hours Allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure before using the shower.
