Installation steps 1. Attach the three Wall Brackets (#19) to the Return Panel (#27). The bolt side of the Wall Bracket (#19) must face inside the shower. (Fig 1) 1 2 Outside 3 4 Outside 2. Place the Return Panel (#27) on the pre-installed shower base or threshold. Position the panel up against the wall and level it vertically (plumb).
3. Outline the position of the Wall Brackets (#19) on the wall and the shower base or threshold. Carefully set the Return Panel (#27) aside. Remove the Wall Brackets (#19) from the Return Panel (#27). Place the brackets against the outlined positions and mark the holes on the wall and threshold for drilling. (Fig 3) 2 1 3 4 Fig 3 4. Drill the holes in the wall using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#9b) for two of the Wall Brackets (#19).
5. Place the Return Panel (#27) back in the designated position and assemble the Wall Brackets (#19) onto the glass. Use the provided gaskets and sleeve to protect the glass. (Fig 5) 6. Measure the distance from the finished wall to the inside surface of the installed Return Panel Glass (#27). This distance will represent the finished opening size “W” that you will use to calculate your finished cut dimension for the Upper Guide Rail (#03). (Fig6) W W Fig 5 Fig 6 7.
8a. Attach the Upper Guide Rail (#03) to the Stationary Glass (#02) with the Glass Brackets (#07) and tighten the bolts into the predrilled holes in the Upper Guide Rail (#03). Make sure both adjustment disks are installed in the same direction with the high spot towards the door end. (see *Note below) Make sure that the guide rail is attached parallel with the top edge of the stationary panel glass. (Fig 8.3) *NOTE: The outer glass bracket disk has an eccentric bushing for adjustment.
9. Place the Stationary Glass (#02) with the Upper Guide Rail (#03) onto the threshold and position it against the wall. Fasten the Upper Guide Rail (#03) to the Return Panel (#27) using the Glass Connector (#28). Tighten the set screws to secure the guide rail bracket sleeve to the Glass Connector (#28). (Fig 9a) Make sure the Stationary Glass (#02) and the Upper Guide Rail (#03) are level.
ATTENTION: This step shows the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21) installation for the 72” model only (not included with the 48“ or 60” model). 10. If the model width is 72” and includes the Small Stationary Glass (#23), attach the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21) to the Upper Guide Rail for 72” (#24) between the Door Stopper (#01) and the Guide Rail Bracket (#08) as shown in Fig 10. This bracket will be repositioned during the installation of the Small Stationary Glass (#23).
12. If installing the 72” model: Unscrew the disk from the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21) and loosen the set screw that secures the bracket to the guide rail. If necessary, slide the Door Stopper (#01) away from the area so that it will not interfere with the placement of the Small Stationary Glass (#23). (Fig 12.2) Position the Small Stationary Glass (#23) onto the threshold and carefully butt it up against the installed Return Panel Glass (#27).
14. Make sure the Stationary Glass (#02) is parallel to the front edge of the threshold. Level it vertically (plumb) and mark the position on the threshold. Slide the Guide Block (#12) into the notch in the Stationary Glass (#02), and align flush with the edge. Mark its position and also mark the hole for drilling using a pencil (or center punch).
! **NOTE: Step #16 has an option for installing the guide rail brackets to the wall using anchors. However, the manufacturer strongly recommends installing these heavy doors to the studs or to pre-installed 2”x 6” wood reinforcement behind the wall in the area where the guide rail brackets will be attached to the wall. **For the recommended installation into a stud, drill a Ø1/4” hole up to the stud, do not use wall anchors, and let the screw bore into the wood. 1 3** 16.
18. To install Guide Block (#12): Loosen the set screw and remove the guide block face plate. Apply silicone to the underside of the Guide Block (#12) and screw the Guide Block (#12) to the threshold as described below: *NOTE: ◾For installation into an Acrylic Threshold: drill an Ø1/8”(3mm) hole and use the ST4.2 x 40mm Countersunk Screw (#17) OR ◾For installation into a Tile Threshold: drill a Ø5/16”(8mm) hole, install Wall Anchor Ø5/16” (#09b) and use the ST4.
19. If installing the 72” model, repeat Step #18 for the Small 1 Stationary Glass Bottom Bracket (#22). Loosen the set screw and remove the guide block face plate. use a pencil or a center-punch to mark the hole 2 *NOTE: *see note ◾For installation into an Acrylic Threshold: drill an Ø1/8”(3mm) hole and use the ST4.2 x 40mm Countersunk Screw (#17) OR ◾For installation into a Tile Threshold: drill a Ø5/16”(8mm) hole and use the ST4.
20. Re-position the Stationary Glass (#02) and Upper Guide 1 Assemble the Wall Bracket (#19) at the bottom corner of the Stationary Glass (#02). Use the clear vinyl gasket between the glass and the metal parts to avoid contact with the glass, then tighten the bolt with the supplied allen wrench. (Fig 20) 3 Rail (#03) onto the threshold and fasten the sleeves of the Guide Rail Brackets (#08) to the installed bracket on the wall and the Glass Connector (#28).
21a. For the 48”or 60“ model size: Measure the distance from the edge of the Guide Block (#12) to the wall. This distance will be “X”. Cut the Anti-Splash Guard (#15) to the size of: (X) + 3/8”. (Fig 23a) 21b. For the 72” model size: Measure the distance between the edge of the Guide Block (#12) to the edge of the Small Stationary Glass Bottom Bracket (#22). This distance will be “L”. Cut the Anti-Splash Guard (#15) to the size of: (L) + 3/4”.
23. Secure the Anti-Splash Guard (#15) to the threshold with several pieces of painter’s tape to hold it in position and tight to the threshold until the silicone fully cures. (Fig 25) Fig 25 24. Attach the Guide block face plate to the installed face plate ENIGMA-X / SPARKLE Enclosure manual Ver 7 Rev 1 06/2017 ©2017 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved Guide Block (#12) and tighten the set screw with the supplied allen wrench. Use the supplied Decorative caps to cover the screw holes.
. If installing the 72” model: Apply a thin bead of silicone to the edge of the Small Stationary Panel Glass (#23) and carefully butt it up against the installed Return Panel Glass (#27). Attach the Small Stationary Panel Glass (#23) to the Upper Guide Rail (#03) using the Small Stationary Glass Bracket (#21). Attach the face plate to the Wall Bracket (#19) on the threshold. Use some painter’s tape to secure the corner until the silicone cures. (Fig 27 and Fig 28) 1 4 2 3 5 Fig 27 outside 26.
! NOTE: DO NOT attach the handle to the door glass until instructed to do so. DO NOT attempt to lift the door glass with the handle as this may result in damage to the glass and/or serious personal injury. 27. Attach the two Rollers (#04) to the Door Glass (#05) with the wheels facing outside of the shower. Align the safety set screw towards the top for easier access (See Fig 29 and page 31 for details).
29. Install the Bumper (#28) onto the threshold and against the wall on the stationary panel side of the installation. (For 72” model, this will be the side of the opening with the large stationary panel) Remove the 3M Tape and position the Bumper (#28) onto the threshold against the Wall Bracket (#19). (Fig 31) NOTE: The surfaces need to be clean and free of construction debris before installing the bumper. TIP: Install the Bumper (#28) using the 3M tape. Screwing the bumper to the wall is optional.
! Note: The Safety set screw on both wheels MUST BE RE-TIGHTENED after installation to prevent the large bolt from coming loose. Apply thread lock during installation. (See details Fig 32 and also on Page 30) add threadlock to the safety set screw and wheel bolt Fig 32 30. Press the Anti-Water Strip (#14) onto the vertical edge of the Stationary Glass (#02) and the Door Glass (#05). Also press the Bumper Strip (#13) onto the vertical edge of the Door Glass (#05). (Fig 32.
! 31. Position the Door Stoppers (#01) and screw them tightly to the Upper Guide Rail (#03). NOTE: The Door Stoppers (#01) must be positioned correctly to prevent the handle from contacting the Stationary Glass (#02) (48”, 60” & 72“ models) and to stop the Door Glass (#05) in a position that allows the bumper strip to create a seal with the return panel glass, but does not allow the door glass to bang into the return panel glass during normal operation (48” & 60” models).
32. Apply a good quality mildew-resistant silicone along the interior perimeter where the glass meets the wall and threshold and also along the Anti-Splash Guard (#15). (Fig 35) Please allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure before using the shower. ! Fig 35 ©2017 DreamLine.
