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 estab-
lished 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 location at 3 1/8”
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 An-
chors [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.

5
Fixed Panel Glass Clips – Mark the center point of the sill, along the
centerline, established in step one. Make a mark 1/2” over toward
the Fixed Panel [F] side and 1” outside of the centerline. Make another
mark 2” over from the wall and 1” outside of the centerline. Drill a 1/4”
hole at each of these marks. Clean the area around the holes and put
a little silicone into each hole. Press the Clip Anchors [G] into the hole
until fully seated. Mount the Glass Clips [I] with the Glass Clip screws
[J]. Install the Vinyl [K] into the Glass Clips.
6
Center Guide – At the middle of the centerline, make a mark ap-
proximately 2” long and 1 1/16” to the inside of the enclosure. Place
the Center Guide [L] on the new mark, centered on the middle of the
centerline. Mark the center of the attachment holes and, remove the
Center Guide. Drill two 5/16” holes at the marked locations. Clean the
area around the holes and put a little silicone into each hole. Press the
Center Guide Anchors [M] into the holes. Mount the Center Guide with
the Center Guide Screws [O].

7
Door Panel – Notice that the Glass Insert [P] that is used when
mounting the Rollers [Q] to the Door Glass [R] has an offset cen-
ter hole. Mount the top Rollers to the glass with the offset holes in the
Glass Insert to the left or right of the mounting holes. That will allow
a slight up or down adjustment later. Make sure that there is a Plastic
Washer [S] on either side of the Door Glass. Tighten the Rollers down
with the Roller Screw [T] through the Roller Backing Plate [U]. To hold
the threaded part of the roller while tightening, use a 3/32” Allen wrench
or other thin rod through the hole on the edge of the backing plate.
Install your handle option at this time. Place the Door Glass inside the
shower enclosure with the Rollers facing out and the handle so that it is
on the side of the enclosure that the door will strike against. CAUTION:
Make sure that you set the Door Glass on something so that the glass
and/or the floor of the enclosure is not damaged. Cardboard packing
material works fine.
8
Load the Bar – Place the Fixed Panel [F] on a flat surface with the
mounting holes hanging off the edge, and the inside of the panel
facing down. Place the Header Bar on the Fixed Panel with the holes
facing up. Using a thin rod, or straightened wire coat hanger, push the
Glass Mount Threaded Rods [V] into the end of the Header Bar and line
one up with each hole in the bar. Put a Glass Mount Plastic Washer [W]
on the Outer Glass Mount [X] and put the 1/4” x 1 1/2” Flat Head Screw
[Y] through them both and set the sub-assembly aside. Repeat for the
other hole. Carefully, move the Bar below the glass panel and Line the
middle hole of the bar up with the hole located 1 1/2” from the edge of
the Fixed Panel. Put an Inner Glass Mount [Z] and a Plastic Washer over
the center hole on the Header Bar and line it up with the hole closest to
the edge of the glass panel. Place the Glass Insert [AA] into the hole
and take one of the Outer Glass Mount sub assemblies and thread the
screw into the Threaded Rod inside the Header Bar (DO NOT TIGHT-
EN). Do the same for the other Glass Mount. Place a Stopper [BB] on
both ends of the Header Bar with the rubber o-ring on what will be the
top of the shower, and slide it toward the middle and snug the Set Screw
[CC] (DO NOT TIGHTEN). Slide a Wall Mount Sleeve [E] on both ends
of the Header Bar with the flat facing the end of the bar, and snug one
Set Screw [DD] (DO NOT TIGHTEN).

Fixed Panel Installation - Install the “peel-and-stick” Wall Seal [EE]
on the wall side edge of the Fixed Panel. Orient it with the open
end to the inside of the enclosure. Lift the Fixed Panel and set it in
the Glass Clips with the edge as tight to the wall as possible. Loosen
the Set Screws in the wall mount sleeves and slide them over the Wall
Mount Blocks. Snug the Set Screws into the block (DO NOT TIGHTEN).
Loosen, but do not remove, the Glass Mount Screws and make sure the
Header Bar is still level, or has a slight tilt toward the door side. Small
adjustments in the Header Bar can be made with the Set Screws in the
Wall Mount Sleeves. Once you have the Header Bar set as you want
it, and the Fixed Panel positioned correctly, tighten the Wall Mount Set
Screws, then the Glass Mount Screws.
10
Door Panel Installation – Lift the Door Glass [R] and place the
rollers on the bar, making sure to get the bottom edge of the
Door Glass into the Center Guide. To adjust the Rollers, up or down, the
Door Glass will have to be removed and the Rollers taken off. Rotate
the Glass Insert to move the off-center hole to the top or bottom of the
hole in the Door Glass. Rotating the Glass Insert to the bottom position
will raise the Door Glass, rotating it to the top will lower it. Reinstall the
Door Glass and Rollers, if necessary. Install the Rollers that go under the
Header Bar, adjusting them so that they are as close to the bottom of
the bar as possible.

11
Seal Installation – Cut the Bulb Vinyl [FF] to the vertical length of
your Door Glass. Cut the Panel Seal [GG] to the length of the
door glass minus 4”. Press the Bulb Vinyl on the strike side of the Door
Glass and the Panel Seal on the other, below the Header Bar. A small
amount of silicone can be used between the glass and seal if you like.
12
Set the Stops – Move the door to the closed position. Slide the
Stopper [BB] over until it touches the top roller on the strike side
of the door. Tighten the Stopper Set Screw [CC] with the bumper in the
up position. Move the door to the open position with the handle 1/4” -
1/2” from hitting the fixed panel. Slide the other stopper over until it just
touches the top roller on the fixed side of the door. Tighten the Stopper
Set Screw with the bumper in the up position.
13
Finishing Up – Make sure that all fasteners are tight. Clean all
exposed marks you made on the sill and walls of the shower stall.
Clean the glass panels.
14
Allow 24 hours for any silicone to completely cure, before using
your new Alumax Shower Door.
