STEP 23

Silicone the Glass Panel (P) in place by applying an even bead inside troughs

on both sides of Wall Channel (C) and Curb Channel (D) as well as where the

wall channel and curb channel meet the wall and base. (See Figure 23)

Clean off any excess silicone.

FIGURE 24

STEP 24

We have supplied two extra #8 x 3/4” Self Tapping Screws (L).

WE RECOMMEND PUTTING THESE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE
UNIT FOR EXTRA SUPPORT.

These are not necessary, but highly suggested to eliminate any movement

during usage. Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill two pilot holes through both the Hinge

Jamb (B) and the Wall Jamb (A) centered vertically with the Door Hinges (E).

(See Figure 24)

FIGURE 25

STEP 25

Apply a bead of silicone where the Wall Jamb (A) meets the wall on

BOTH

sides. (See Figure 25)
