3. INSTALLATION
A. DETERMINE LEFT SIDE OR RIGHT SIDE
PIVOT
Determine whether the door will pivot on the left or the
right side. Make certain that the door path is free of
obstructions.
To convert between a left-hand or right-hand door, turn the
door upside down.
All of the following illustrations are for a right pivot
door (panel swings open toward the right).

Pivot Body
B. REMOVE GLASS PANEL FROM FRAME

Two people should perform installation steps.
After determining if door is left or right side pivot, carefully
lean door upright against a solid surface.
Nut Plate
While supporting the glass panel, unscrew the top
capscrew with 3/16” hex wrench, and remove the pivot
insert, glass spacer and nut plate. The top pivot remains
inserted in the pivot body attached to the frame.

D. MEASURE SHOWER OPENING WIDTH
Measure shower opening width at a minimum of three
locations, starting at the bottom. Note the dimension that
is most narrow.
NOTE:
If a steel tape is used, be sure to add the width
of the case to the measurement.
NOTE:
The bottom of the door frame should not be
more than 1/8” out of level over the entire
width of the door. Shim if necessary.

E. ADJUST DOOR FRAME WIDTH FOR
INSTALLATION
3/8”
Adjust the door frame 3/8” less than the narrowest
dimension taken in the previous step.
Alternate turning the six adjustment screws evenly
on both sides to increase or decrease the door frame
width.
Turning the screws counterclockwise increases door
frame width. Turning the screws clockwise decreases the
width of the frame.

F. INSTALL DOOR FRAME INTO SHOWER
OPENING
The following installation is for compression-fit installation
of the door frame; if optional wall mounting screw
installation is desired, refer to step G. for Optional
Installation with Wall Mounting Screws.
Place the door frame into the shower opening.
Adjust the top and bottom adjustment screws counterclockwise until the full length of all the bubble seals are
compressed against the shower wall.
Use a level while adjusting to insure that the door is plumb
and square.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not
overtighten adjustment screws.
After the door frame is installed into the shower opening,
adjust the middle adjustment screws, being careful not to
overtighten as this may cause the frame to bow.
Be sure the door frame is square on all sides of the door.

G. OPTIONAL INSTALLATION WITH WALL
MOUNTING SCREWS
CAUTION: Risk of injury. Wear Safety Glasses.
The following steps explain installing wall jambs using
hollow wall anchors.
After adjusting the door frame, mark the three hole
locations through the locator holes in each wall jamb and
expander jamb. From the outside of the shower, mark the
location of the wall jambs and bottom frame of the door.
Mark Hole Locations
Remove the door frame and lightly center punch the three
hole locations on each wall. On ceramic tile, use a center
punch to nick the surface glaze. Tap the punch lightly with
a hammer so as not to crack the tile.
Drill all six holes into the wall with a 5/16” drill bit. Use a
5/16” masonry bit for ceramic tile.
After drilling holes, thoroughly clean the shower floor
ledge and wall. Insert the hollow wall anchors into all three
5/16” drilled holes. Repeat the procedure for the other
side.
Install Screws into
Wall Anchors
Install the door frame in the shower opening and align the
locator holes with the location marks. Adjust the door
frame as noted in the previous step. Install three #8-18 x
2-1/2” panhead screws through each expander jamb and
wall jamb into the installed anchors in wall.
Adjust and Level Door Frame
H. RE-INSTALL GLASS PANEL
Insert the bottom pivot into the bottom pivot body of the
door frame and hold level. Re-assemble top pivot to top
pivot body, insert glass spacer into glass panel, insert
capscrew through glass spacer, re-attach nut plate and
thread capscrew into pivot insert.
Make small adjustments for squareness by shifting glass
panel and re-positioning until level.
After final adjustments have been made, hand-tighten
capscrew.

shower. If the drip rail is currently located at the top of the
glass panel, slide off both pieces and push onto the
bottom of the glass panel.

M. SEALING
Thoroughly clean all dust, dirt and grease from the bottom
frame and shower ledge surfaces to be sealed. Make sure
surfaces are dry.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Apply
silicone sealant around the outside of the door only.
Sealant applied to the inside of the door will cause
leakage and damage.
Carefully apply a bead of silicone sealant around the
outside (dry side) of door where:
1) Bottom frame meets the shower ledge.
2) Wall jambs meet the shower walls.
