INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TRU-FIT
DOOR & PANEL
GENERAL INFO:
• Please take a few minutes and thoroughly read the instruc-
tions before you start the installation.
• YOU WILL NEED TWO PEOPLE to install this unit
• If, at any point in the installation, you have questions, please
contact the dealer through whom you purchased this enclo-
sure.
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DAMAGE OR DEATH. Not to
scare you, but you need to take this seriously.
BEFORE YOU START YOUR INSTALLATION:
• Purchaser is responsible for observing all local plumbing and
building codes. Please consult your local building codes and
compliance standards before installation to ensure conformity.
• We recommend that this enclosure be installed into secure
wall studs on the door hinge side. However, it should work
ne if installed into a solid substrate (such as sheet rock board
or green board) with the appropriate wall anchors. A ber-
glass unit with nothing behind it is not suitable for mounting a
TRU-FIT enclosure.
• Make sure your enclosure is the proper size for your opening.
• This enclosure is designed to handle minor out-of-plumb wall
conditions and mildly uneven sill conditions. If either of your
walls are more than 1/2” out-of-plumb, this unit is not suitable
for your conditions.
• If the sill is not level, there could be some variances in the
spacing between sill and door. It will be very IMPORTANT
that you note these outages precisely and adjust the spacing of
the glass off the sill accordingly so that the glass CANNOT hit
the sill while in operation.
• Make sure you have all the proper tools. The installer is re-
sponsible for selecting the appropriate drill bits for the installa-
tion surface conditions.
• If you are installing on freshly laid tile, allow enough time
for the tile cement and grout to fully dry before installing the
shower enclosure.
DISCLAIMERS:
• HMI Shower Enclosures is in no way responsible for any
damage or bodily injury caused by an improper installation.
Failure to follow these instructions, guidelines and warnings will
void your warranty, and possibly cause anything form minor
water damage to serious injury or death.
• These units have been tested under extreme usage condi-
tions and have not failed WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED.
WHEN YOU START YOUR INSTALLATION:
• Carefully remove all the enclosure parts and components
from the packaging and keep the packaging until the installa-
tion is complete. Inventory all the parts and inspect them for
damage. If any of the parts are damaged, please contact your
local distributor.
AFTER INSTALLATION:
• For the rst 72 hours after installation, do not operate the
door or use the shower. This will allow time for the silicone to
cure properly.
• Save this manual for future references.
ITEMS LISTED AS OPTIONAL:
• The two screws for the outside of the unit to secure the
hinge jamb to the wall jamb are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to
reduce movement and provide a truly stable door.
• Three different polycarbonates are provided to help prevent
water from escaping the shower. It is up to the installer/owner
to determine if these are necessary.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Do not use harsh cleaners on your enclosure, as these can
scratch or otherwise damage your enclosure.
• The shower enclosure can remain beautiful for years with the
proper care. Some items, such as polycarbonates, may need
to be replaced over time when they show signs of wear, are
yellowing, or are not as functional in holding back water.
• Water conditions vary, and my necessitate extra cleaning of
your enclosure.
• We recommend that you wipe down your shower enclosure
with a cloth or squeegee after each use.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
• For troubleshooting various installation issues, see at the end
of these instructions.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
The TRU-FIT Shower Enclosure is made of tempered glass. While tempered glass is strong, it
on edge is hit too hard or something else happens it can break. Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into small pieces, like automobile windows, but they can still be dangerous. Take care
when handling the glass.

STEP 2
Take the Wall Jamb (A) and line the center of it (indicated by die line) up with
the center line of tub base found in Step 1. The post should be sitting on the
tub or shower base. (See Figure 2)
STEP 3
Make sure that the Wall Jamb (A) is level before marking for holes.
(See Figure 3)
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 3
STEP 1
Determine center line of your shower base by measuring the thickness of the
base and use a pencil to mark the center. Draw this line the entire length of the
base. (See Figure 1)
FIGURE 1
STEP 4
Once the Wall Jamb (A) is level, use a pencil to mark the holes for drilling.
Depending on the support behind the wall, Plastic Anchors (E) may or may
not be required. IF you are unsure, if unsure, use the Plastic Anchors (E) to be
safe. If using an anchor, use 1/4” drill bits to drill holes on the specied marks.
If wooden support is present and no anchor is required, use 3/16” drill bits to
drill holes on specied marks. (See Figure 4)
NOTE:You may need several drill bits when drilling through certain types of
tile or marble. Keep your drill bit cool by spraying with water throughout the
drilling process.

STEP 6
Set the Wall Jamb (A) in place and make sure holes line up. Using six
#10 x 2” Wall Jamb Screws (F) provided, attach Wall Jamb (A) to wall.
(See Figure 6)
NOTE: Two extra screws (F) are provided in case of installation issues.
STEP 7
Now that you have the Wall Jamb (A) mounted, it is time to mount the
panel Wall Channel (C) and Curb Channel (D). You should have two differ-
ent length pieces of the channel (ZSS 4504), the shorter one is the bottom
channel or Curb Channel (D), the longer is the Wall Channel (C). Take the
Curb Channel (D) and place on your “centerline” of your base and make
sure it is all the way against the wall. (See Figure 7)
Use your masking tape to secure the Curb Channel (D) to your base. DO
NOT SUE SILICONE OR SCREWS YET, ONLY TAPE. (See Figure 7)
STEP 8
Place Wall Channel (C) on top of Curb Channel (D) and “centerline”
up wall. Once the Wall Channel (C) is plumb, use a pencil to mark the
holes for drilling. Depending on the support behind the wall, Plastic
Anchors for Channels (J) may or may not be required. If you are unsure,
use the Plastic Anchors for Channels (J) to be safe. If using an anchor,
use 3/16” drill bits to drill holes on the specied marks. If wooden sup-
port is present and no anchor is required, use 1/8” drill bits to drill holes
on specied marks (See Figure 8)
STEP 5
Put a small amount of silicone in each hole drilled. Place Plastic
Anchors (E), if needed, in holes and gently tap with a hammer. Be
sure not to hit the tile. (see Figure 5)

Once Wall Channel (C) is attached, remove tape from Curb Channel
(D) and carefully slide directly out from under Wall Channel (C)
(See Figure 10)
STEP 11
Place Glass Blocks (Q) on base to protect edge of glass
panel while adjusting for size (See Figure 11B). Set Glass
Panel (P) on blocks and gently slide into Wall Channel (C).
Make sure panel is as far in to the Wall Channel (C) as pos-
sible. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STEP IS FOR SPAC-
ING ONLY. PANEL WILL BE REMOVED AGAIN, SO
DO NOT PERMANENTLY ATTACH. Using several
pieces of tape, inside and outside, secure Glass Panel (P) to
wall for the time being. (See Figure 11A)
STEP 9
Put a small amount of silicone in each hole drilled. Place Plastic An-
chors for Channels (J), if needed, in holes gently tap with hammer until
anchor is ush. It might be necessary to use a razor knife to cut the
lip of the anchor off so it is completely ush with the wall. Be sure
not to hit the tile.
(See Figure 9)
Set Wall Channel (C) in place and make sure holes line up. Using #8
x 2” Wall Channel Screws (K) provided, attach Wall Channel (C) to
wall.

Set Wood Block on center of base for spacing and safety. Set the Glass
Door (O) on top of Wood Block (U) and position Hinge Jamb (B) to go
over the Wall Jamb (A). USING TWO PEOPLE (1 PERSON INSIDE,1
PERSON OUTSIDE), slide Hinge Jamb (B) over Wall Jamb (A) carefully
until fully compressed. (See Figure 13) Wood Block should still be under
the Glass Door (O).
ONCE COMPLETED, DO NOT LEAVE DOOR UNATTENDED,
IT COULD STILL FALL!
STEP 14
Note that the Glass Door (O) and Glass Panel (P) are setting in
place, while one person steadies the door the other can adjust
both pieces of glass so that you have about 1/8” gap between glass
panels. (See Figure 14) (1/8” is recommended to reduce leakage,
but can be larger if desired). It is ideal to adjust a little in both
door and panel instead of pulling all the adjustment out of one or
the other (depending on your size, you might have to fully adjust
both to ensure proper t). Make sure that the 1/8” gap is uniform
the entire length of the door. Make sure the door is level before
drilling holes. (See Figure 14)
FIGURE 14

STEP 21
Place two stacks of three Glass Blocks (Q) inside the Curb Channel (D) per
Figure 20A. NOTE: DO NOT SET ON SCREW HEADS. These glass
blocks will be used not only to cushion and protect panel from screw heads
but to also adjust the height of the panel to match the door. You can remove
glass blocks to lower panel, cut glass blocks in half and stack more than three
to raise the panel. (See Figure 21A). When ready to install glass, put four or
ve globs of silicone on the inside of the wall channel (See gure 21B). Set
Glass Panel (P) in the Curb Channel (D) on Glass Blocks (Q) and gently push
into Wall Channel (C) until glass is event Curb Channel (D).

INSTALLATION:
If, while preparing to attach the Hinge Jamb (B) to the Wall
Jamb (A), you are unable to get a consistent 1/8” gap between
the Door Glass (O) and Panel Glass (P) without revealing the
groove lines on the Wall Jamb (A), either your walls may be
seriously out of plumb or your selected unit might not be the
right size for your conditions. Double check your wall condi-
tions and measurements.
OPERATION:
If you have not installed the #8 x 3/4” Set Screws (L) on the
outside of the enclosure securing the Hinge Jamb (B) to the
