Preparation
1. After opening the boxes, read this introduction carefully, check all the packed parts are
complete by cross checking all the components against the “Detailed Diagram of Shower
Door Components”. Examine for shipping damage. If the unit has been damaged, has a
finishing defect or has missing parts please contact your local distributor within 3 business
days. Please note that Bath AuthorityTM / DreamLine TM will not replace any damaged
product or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has
been installed. Contact your distributor or DreamLine if you have any questions.
2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes on questions on
installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes vary by location,
and DreamLine is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project.
3. Please insure that prior to the installation the floor is leveled and solid. Also make sure the
walls are at right angles. While some adjustment in leveling of the door is possible, irregular
floor level or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation.
Please, note that there are some adjustments, cutting and drilling might be necessary
during the installation process.

for drilling. Now drill holes in the wall and insert the Wall anchor (12) into the hole. See Fig
1 for details.
2. Apply silicone sealant along the holes on the wall. Push the Pivot retainer (8) into the top
and bottom sides of the Wall profile for glass door (1). Attach the wall profile to the wall
using Round head screws ST4.2×30 (17). See Fig 2 for details.
3. Locate the Glass profile for glass door (2). Push the upper Pivot assembly (7) into the
top groove of the Glass profile for glass door (2); then secure it and the profile with Flat
head screws ST4.2×25 (16) and M4×16 bolt (13). Repeat the same steps for the bottom
Pivot assembly. See Fig 3 for details.
NOTE: The Back plate (K) of the Pivot assembly (7) should face inside of your shower.
Please note it on Fig 3.
4. Push the assembled Glass profile for glass door (2) into the groove of the Wall profile
for glass door (1). Secure the upper Pivot assembly (7) and the upper Pivot retainer (8)
using Socket head screw M6×12 (18). See Fig 4 for details.
5. NOTE:
¾Please note the Glass door (3) is very heavy; you will need help of 1-2 people to
hold this door for you during next step.
¾Your Glass door has 2 cuts for the pivot assembly. The deeper cut should be on
the top.
Remove the Bolts (L) and Back plates (K) from the Pivot assembly (7); then install the
Glass door (3) to the Pivot assembly. Make sure the rubber gaskets are in between the
glass and the metal parts. Secure tide the Glass door to the Pivot assembly. See Fig 5 for
details.
6. Install Handle (6) onto the Glass door (3). See Fig 6 for details.
NOTE: If your shower door requires only single glass door installation, you only need
to assemble parts from Packing List A and follow steps 7-14. However if your door
requires the glass door and stationary glass installation, you will need to use parts from
Packing List A and Packing List B and continue your installation with Step 15.
7. Push the Glass profile (4) into the Wall profile (5) and push the Anti-water strip (10) into
the groove of the glass profile. Close the glass door against the Anti-water strip (10) (Fig
7/3) to find the position of the wall profile. (You can pull the Glass profile from the Wall
profile to adjust width). Mark the position of the Wall profile on the wall. See Fig 7/1,2,3 for
details.
8. Pull out the Glass profile with Anti-water strip inserted into it from the wall profile. Use
predrilled holes in the aluminum profile to mark holes for drilling. Now drill holes in the wall
and insert the Wall anchor (12) into the holes. Apply silicone sealant along the holes on
the wall. Attach the Wall profile (5) to the wall using Flat head screws ST4.2×30 (17). See
Fig 7 for details.

Product Maintenance
1. Tempered glass can be cleaned with nonabrasive bathroom cleaners or any glass
cleaner you would use elsewhere in your home. Rinse off any glass cleaner that gets on the
aluminum as soon as possible to avoid damage to the anodized surface. Avoid striking the
glass with any sharp or hard objects. Such damage can cause either immediate or delayed
breakage of tempered glass.
2. The aluminum in your shower door is durable and resistant to water damage. It is
advisable, but not necessary to wipe it with your towel after your shower. Clean it as often
as needed to keep the buildup of dirt, water stains or soap stains off. Never use any type of
abrasive cleaner on aluminum. Use only a soft damp cloth and nonabrasive bathroom
cleaners.
