Notes: 

This is a two person installation.

All marks made on tile, marble or fiberglass should be made lightly in 

pencil so they can be removed after the installation is complete.  An 

optional method is to use masking tape on the walls and sill that can be 

removed as the installation progresses.

1

 

Establish Centerlines – The centerlines of the unit must be established 

on the shower sill and on the walls as well.  Measure the width of 

the shower sill and mark the centerline down the middle.  Transfer the 

centerline to the walls using a level.  Mark Header Bar [D] location at 2” 

less than the unit height, on the centerline.  Measure, and write down, the 

distance between the two Wall Mount marks.  

2

 

Bar Mount –

 

Drill the Wall Mount holes 5/16”.  Insert the Wall Anchors 

[A] fully into the holes. Place the Wall Mount Blocks [B] against the 

wall with the counter bore to the middle of the enclosure. Using the 1/4 x 

2” Truss head screws [C], attach the Wall Mount Block to the wall, with the 

slot in a vertical position and the screw centered in the block.

3

 

Bar Length - Measure the width of the fixed glass panel [F].  Subtract 

2 3/8” from that dimension.  Measure from the center of the middle 

hole in the bar to the fixed panel end of the bar and cut that end off (The 

fixed panel end is the one with the second hole in it).  Now subtract 

1 3/4” from the measurement taken in step 1, which is the overall 

width of the shower opening at the top.  Then take that measure 

from the newly cut end of the bar to the uncut end and cut that 

end off of the bar.

4

 

Level the Bar – Temporarily place the Wall Mount Sleeves [E] on each 

end of the Header Bar.  Align the Header Bar with the Wall Mount 

Block, and slide the Wall Mount Sleeves over the Wall Mount Blocks.  Place 

a level on the center of the Header Bar and check for level.  If needed the 

Wall Mount Blocks can be raised, or lowered to make the Header Bar level.  

Once leveled, remove the Header Bar from the Wall Mount Blocks, and the 

Wall Mount Sleeves from the Header Bar. 

 NOTE:

  A slight downward tilt 

on the door side of the Header Bar will help keep the door in the closed 

position while in use.  A downward tilt on the Fixed Panel side will cause 

the door to open, allowing water leakage.

FOOT PRINT -  

The width of the Door unit's base is 2 1/16" 

Consider these measurements before drilling.
