Equipment needed:
Drill, 6.5mm Masonry Bit, 4.5mm & 3mm Metal Bits (general), Crosshead Screwdriver, 16mm Spanner, Spirit Level, Pencil,
Tape Measure, Masking Tape, Silicone Sealant.
Note: The screws and wall plugs supplied are for masonry walls. For lightweight walls i.e. stud partition, plasterboard etc,
use the correct type of fixings.
Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future reference.
Incorrect fitting will invalidate the guarantee.
SAFETY
●Handle glass with great care.
Although the glass is very tough, sharp impacts can damage both the glass and metal frame.
●Make sure there are no hidden pipes or cables hidden in the wall where you intend to drill.
●Wear safety goggles, shoes and appropriate clothing.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
●Check that the shower tray is level in all directions. The enclosure will not sit correctly on an uneven surface.
If uneven, the wall channels may not fit and the doors may not shut correctly.
●The enclosure should be fitted on tiled walls which are sealed with waterproof grout.
●There must be a good silicone seal between the rim of the shower tray and the wall.
●The shower tray and the enclosure must match in size. Attempting to fit the incorrect size of enclosure to
the shower tray will result in water leaks.
●Always check very carefully that components are vertical.
●To avoid damage, use the opened out packaging to build the enclosure on.

a: Drill holes in both wall channels at points shown using a 4.5mm drill bit, where shown.
b: Ensure the shower tray is level in all directions. IMPORTANT: Clean the tray and seal the gap between the tray surface and
tiles. It is important that the tray is sealed right up to the tray edge so that the bottom of the wall channel is sealed. Failure to do
this will cause water to leak under the wall channel and between the tray and tiles, resulting in damp patches on the wall and
under the tray.
