Installation steps 1. This shower enclosure requires a minimum 2-3/8” wide threshold, shower base, or installation space. Compare the overall outside dimensions of the shower enclosure model size (as shown on the “Shower Enclosure Plan”) with your finished threshold. (Fig. 1) 2-3/8” minimum threshold 44 -3/ -3/ 8 “m in 8” to mi 4 nt o 6 8-3/ 0-3 8” m /8 ” m ax ax 56 Fig. 1 2-3/8” minimum threshold required 2” -1/ 34 outside dimensions of installed enclosure 2.
3. Place the Return Panel Glass (#22) < 48”or < 60” on the pre-installed shower base or threshold. Position the panel up against the wall and level it vertically (plumb). Make sure the Return Panel Glass (#22) is aligned with the shower base or threshold and will create an opening that is within the model dimensions of the door section: <48” (SHEN-6234480) or <60” (SHEN-6234600) depending on the model size. (Fig. 3) See the “Shower Enclosure Plan” on page 8 for dimensions. < 48”or < 60” Fig. 3 4.
5. Drill the holes in the wall using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#9b) for the two Wall Brackets (#19). Mount the Wall Brackets (#19) to the wall using the Truss Head Screw ST4.2×55 (#18). For installation into an Acrylic Base: Drill a hole in the shower base threshold using a Ø1/8” drill bit and mount the remaining Wall Bracket (#19) to the threshold using the Round Head Screw ST4.2×25 (#17).
7. Measure the distance from the finished wall to the inside surface of the installed Return Panel Glass (#22). This distance will represent the finished opening size “W” that will be used to calculate the finished cut dimension for the Upper Guide Rail (#03). (Fig. 7) W 8. The Upper Guide Rail (#03) has been precut for your model width of: 48” or 60” (the actual rail is shorter than the model width by design).
9a. Attach the Upper Guide Rail (#03) to the Stationary Glass (#02) with the Glass Brackets (#07) and tighten the bolts into the pre-drilled holes in the Upper Guide Rail (#03). Make sure both adjustment disks are installed in the same direction with the high spot facing towards the door end (see *NOTE below). Make sure the guide rail is attached parallel with the top edge of the stationary panel glass. (Fig. 9) *NOTE: The outer glass bracket disk has an eccentric bushing for adjustment.
10. 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 Glass (#22) using the Glass Connector (#21). Tighten the set screws to secure the guide rail bracket sleeve to the Glass Connector (#21). (Fig. 11) sleeve 1 2 3 Fig. 11 Glass Connector (#21) X not used in this configuration 11. Make sure the Stationary Glass (#02) is plumb and the Guide Rail (#03) is level.
12. Once the Upper Guide Rail (#03) is leveled, mark the position of the Wall Bracket (#19) and the Guide Rail Bracket (#08) on the wall. (Fig. 13) 1 2 Fig. 13 13. Mark the Guide Block (#12) position and the holes for drilling on the threshold. (Make sure the Guide Block (#12) is square to the Stationary Glass (#02)). Measure the distance from the Return Panel Glass (#22) to the far edge of the Guide Block (#12). This distance will be “X”.
14. Carefully set the Stationary Glass (#02) and Upper Guide Rail (#03) aside, along with the Guide Block (#12) and Anti-Splash Guard (#15). 1 2 Remove the Guide Rail Brackets (#08) from the Upper Guide Rail (#03) (as shown below) and the Wall Bracket (#19) from the Stationary Glass (#02). Place the Wall Bracket (#19) and Guide Rail Bracket (#08) back to the outlined positions and mark the holes for drilling. (Fig. 15) Wall bracket (#19) Guide Rail bracket (#08) Fig.
protective padding NOTE: Before you install the Stationary Glass (#02), bring the Door Glass (#05) into the shower and lean it against the wall. Make sure the door is facing in the right direction for installation with the handle holes on the correct side. After the Stationary Glass (#02) is installed, it may not be possible to easily get the door glass into the shower or to turn it around. Always use padding to protect the door glass and shower surfaces.
18. Carefully place the Stationary Glass (#02) with the Upper Guide Rail (#03) onto the threshold with the notch fitting into the Guide Block (#12). Position the Stationary Glass (#02) against the wall. (Please note that the Stationary Glass (#02) installs on the outside and the Upper Guide Rail (#03) goes on the inside of the shower). (Fig.
. Fasten the Guide Block (#12) to the threshold with the Countersunk Screws ST4.2×25 (#17). (Fig. 21) 1 2 3 Ø1/8" Fig. 21 TIP: Level the installed Upper Guide Rail (#03) as necessary using the Guide Rail Brackets (#08) first and then the Glass Brackets (#07). Start adjustments from the door end.

. Use the Roller Installation Tool to install the two Roller Assemblies (#04) onto the Door Glass (#05). (Fig 24.1) Suspend the door by hanging the Roller Assemblies (#04) onto the Upper Guide Rail (#03) and sliding the bottom edge of the Door Glass (#05) into the groove of the Guide Block (#12). 1 2 3 4 ! Be careful not to damage the bottom edge of the door glass during installation. (Fig. 24 and Fig. 25) ! 6 5 7 Roller Installation Tool Fig. 24 22.
23. If necessary, the door glass can be adjusted to create a better seal with the wall. The Bumper Seal Strip (#13) must be installed on the Door Glass before making any adjustments. Use the set screws to raise or lower the wheels. Fully Tighten all set screws after all adjustments are made. (Fig. 26) roller guard roller height adjustment range Fig. 26 NOTE: The door glass must be supported during this process. Use a 1/4” shim, a glass suction cup and an assistant.
25. Adjust both Door Stoppers (#01) to ensure that they are positioned upright and the Door Glass (#05) is in its maximum opening and closing range. Apply Thread Lock Adhesive (#20) to the set screws and tighten the set screws to fasten them in place. (Fig. 21) Adjust the Roller Guards (Fig. 18) on both Roller Assemblies (#04) to within 1/16” of the Upper Guide Rail (#03) to ensure that the Door Glass (#05) is secure. (Fig. 28a and Fig. 28b) Fig.
26. Apply Waterproof silicone at both ends of the Anti-Splash Guard (#15), around the Guide Block (#12) and around the Anti-Splash Guard Cap (#16). (Fig. 29) 1 2 Waterproof silicone Waterproof silicone Fig. 29 27. Apply a good quality mildew-resistant silicone sealant along the connection of the panel glass with the wall and the threshold. (Fig. 30) Allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure. ©2017 DreamLine.
