Preparation
1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the
piece count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this
introduction carefully. Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by
checking off the components on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the
unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our
customer support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please note that
DreamLine®will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after
3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLine®if you
have any questions, and please provide an order number, job name or other proof of purchase
to help us identify your original order.
2. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please, install all of the required
plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if
required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.
3. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions about
installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location,
and DreamLine®is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and
will not accept any returns.
ATTENTION!
Additional wall support is required. This shower seat MUST NOT be mounted to
sheetrock, drywall, plaster, fiberglass, acrylic or other similar wall surfaces without
appropriate and required wood or concrete backing support material.
Installation of this wall mounted folding shower seat requires that additional wood framing be
in place prior to installation. We recommend using 2” x 12” or 2” x 6” wood blocking installed
between the studs starting from the floor plate up to at least 24 inches above the shower floor.
If this additional wood framing support is not present, you may need to remove and replace a
portion of the existing shower wall to install the wood blocking. If the seat is to be mounted to
an interior wall, it may be easier to gain access to the studs from an adjoining room to install
this additional wood framing.
Additionally, the supplied wall anchors are ONLY to be used for installation into concrete or
cinder block.
Max capacity:
250 Lbs. when installing into required wood reinforcement or concrete
behind the finished wall.

LEVEL
Folding Seat Installation Instruction
1. Place the Installation template against the wall at the
desired height. Align your level along the line marking
the top of the seat (see Fig 1) and adjust the template
so that it is level. It is recommended to mount the seat
approximately 17”-19” above the floor, however the
mounting height can vary slightly depending on
personal needs or preference. Once leveled, secure the
template to the wall using painter’s tape (or similar)
and mark all 10 holes for drilling.
2. The folding shower seat can be installed into either wood reinforcement or concrete
behind the finished wall. See installation options below:
FOR installation into wood reinforcement behind the finished wall: Drill the holes using
a 7/32”diameter drill bit. For installation into wood reinforcement, the holes need to be
drilled through the tile and drywall only. Do not drill through the wood framing; let the
screws bore into the wood.
FOR installation into concrete behind the finished wall: Use the supplied template to
mark the holes at the desired height. Use a 5/16”diameter drill bit and install the supplied
wall anchors flush to the finished wall. Exercise caution when using a hammer to install the
wall anchors so as not to damage the tile.
3. Hold the seat to the wall in the folded (up)
position (see Fig. 2), align the brackets to the holes
and attach the Left and right support brackets
(part#03) using 6 of the ST5 x 70mm screws
(part# 06)
NOTE: Additional reinforcement must be present behind the mounting wall prior to
installation. This seat has a maximum weight limit of 250 lbs. when installed properly.

4. Adjust the position of the Guide bracket (part # 05) on the wall to align with your holes.
Attach the Guide bracket (part #05) to the wall using 4 of the ST5 x 70mm Screws (06).
Fully tighten all screws and test the operation of the seat. The seat is now ready for use.

Product Maintenance
BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off
after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or
cream based cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could
scratch or dull the surface.
GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use
with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent
soap buildup and water spots. Never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain
scouring agents to prevent scratching the surface. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive
sponges.
HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If
accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent finish peeling or corrosion.
After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless
steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish, work with
(not across) the grain. Never use abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brushes.
SHOWER SEATS: Use a mild soap and water mixture and a soft brush or cloth as necessary.
Never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents that may scratch
the surface. The use of wire brushes or steel wool are also not recommended.
