Special Note: Unpack your unit carefully. Lay out and identify all parts using the instruction sheets as a reference. Before
discarding the carton, check for small hardware bag. If any parts are damaged or missing, refer to the description noted in the
instructions when contacting your dealer for replacements. Please wear safety glasses whenever drilling or cutting. Handle the
glazed panels carefully. Tempered glass is difficult to break, but the sharp corners of the panels can damage tile and floor
coverings. Note: Before installing, check the tub rim for level and both walls for plumb. If either are out of plumb more than 3/8”,
you may want to contact your dealer for tapered fillers which can be used to level tub track or plum the side jambs.
Step 1
Measure from wall to the center of 180-degree post
(B) and add 3/4" and that is the out side dimension.
Plumb 180-degree post (BB). Mark holes and
remove 180-degree post (BB). Dill marked holes
with a 3/16” drill bit, for tile or marble use a 3/16”
masonry bit. Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic
can be made in two ways. If reinforcement is built
into the wall of the unit, drill 3 1/8” diameter holes
and install the screws directly into the
reinforcement. If wall is not reinforced, drill 3/16”
holes and install plastic wall anchors (C). Secure
180-degree post with three#8 X 1 1/2" pan head
screws (D).

Insert sill (Z) into 180-degree post (Y). Press 90-degree
(AA) into sill. Place glass block (N) in the middle of sill
(CC). Position glass panel (F) so the 180-degree and 90degree posts so overlap glass by 1/2". Cut the vinyl
slightly longer than the opening (this prevents shrinkage).
Press the interior vinyl into place. Use a wood block to tap
the exterior vinyl into place starting at both ends and
working to the middle

Step 3
Position the tub track in the center of the tub rim
and butt it against wall jamb (B) with the tall leg to
the exterior. It may be necessary to file a radius on
the ends of the tub track and wall jambs to match
the corners of the tub. Press both wall jambs (B)
into position over the tub track. Masking tape can
be used to hold parts in place temporarily.

Use a level to plumb both wall jambs (B), then mark the predrilled hole locations on the wall. Lightly mark along both
sides at the tub track (A) with a pencil, then remove all parts.
For tile or marble, drill six (6) 3/16” diameter holes and insert
plastic wall anchors (C). A center punch helps locate the holes
accurately.
Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic can be made in two ways.
If reinforcement is built into the wall of the unit, drill six 1/8”
diameter holes and install the screws directly into the
reinforcement. If wall is not reinforced, drill 3/16” holes and
install plastic wall anchors (C).
Step 5
Before replacing the tub track (A), force a slight downward
bow in extrusion. This will ensure that the track fits tight to
the tub.
Run two beads of silicone inside the penciled mark on the
tub rim.
Place the tub track in the exact position marked in step 2 and
set it firmly in the silicone.
A
Replace wall jamb (B) and attach to wall with (D) # 8 X 1
1/2” screws. Do not over tighten jamb screws.
Step 6
Measure wall-to-wall at the top of the wall jambs, then
mark and cut the tub header (E). Set the tub header in
place over the top of the wall jamb. From the inside of
the enclosure drill one hole (#32 drill bit) through the
header and d wall jamb on each end of the header.
Attach the header to the tub jamb using two #6 X 1/2”
screws (R).

Step 7
Panel Installation: Attach the four nylon roller bearings (J) to the door panels using four # 8 – 32 X 3/8” hex head screws (I)
centered in the slots in the top fins. To set slider glass in place, hold interior panel inside of tub, insert rollers up into header and
lower into roller track. Next insert lower end of exterior slider panel in front of interior slider panel by pushing lower ends far
enough in to allow clearance on inside edge of tub. Avoid roller-to-roller contact while lifting panel into place. The inside slider
panel will close against wall jamb on showerhead side. Next, push vinyl black bumpers (G) into side jambs approximately 1”
below center screw. Align the slot in the bumper with the outer rail of the slider panel. Mark holes through bumper and drill with
#32 drill bit. Screw bumper in with # 6 X 3/4” pan head screw (I). Repeat on other side. Do not over tighten.
If the door panels are not parallel to their respective wall jambs, remove and adjust rollers up or down in their slots to compensate.

3/8” pan head (Q).

Step 10
Attach a towel bar assembly (with the hollow side of the bar down) to the interior panel with a #10 – 24 X 7/8” truss head
screw (T) through inner rail. Insert a #10 – 24 X 1 1/8” flat head screw (T) through an acrylic finger pull (T), through the
outer rail and into the outer towel bar bracket. Peel the backing from a Splendor decal (X), press it into the recess in the
acrylic finger pull. Repeat for the exterior door panel. Note: Do not over tighten the towel bar screws.

before using the enclosure.
