Rio Case 2 Installation Guide - Surface Profiles -  vJUL16

1

Thank you for purchasing this Rio shower screen. Please study these instructions 
carefully before assembly and installation.

Checking of Parts

Parts are listed at the beginning of this guide.  Please check all supplied parts immediately 
and contact the Majestic Shower Company in the event of any missing or damaged parts.

Handling of Parts

When handling glass, use suction glass lifters and take care to ensure that corners or edges 
are not knocked. Do not place glass on hard surfaces - place cushioning material under-
neath to prevent the glass from shattering.

Unwrap all metal parts carefully to prevent damaging the plated surfaces.

Pre Installation Checks

Prior to undertaking installation, check the accuracy of the following against specifications 
for the particular installation location:

- Verticality and flatness of walls. Where wall profiles are used, some lean in or lean out of 
  the wall relative to the floor or tray can be accommodated (+/- 9mm if 24mm profile is used, 
  +/- 5mm if 17mm profile is used). Where a door is to be closed against a wall, the wall
  must be substantially vertical. Both walls must be substantially flat.

- Levelness and flatness of the floor or tray. Where a profile or underframe is used under-
  neath a glass panel, any minor hollows in the mounting surface must be solidly packed to 
  prevent deflection under the weight of the glass as this may over stress the glass.

Installation

 

Tips

The general principle of assembly is to assemble parts in the steps shown - first  a dry 
assembly to check fits or mark cutting or drilling positions and then a final assembly with 
silicone.

When cutting aluminium extrusion, wrap the profile with masking tape first and cut through 
the taped area - this will help protect the surrounding surface. Use a fine file to smooth cut 

edges

.

If anti-calcium glass has been specified, the treated side of the glass will be indicated and 
should always face inwards towards the wet side of the shower area.

These instructions are for left and right handed units.  All parts are reversible.
