HEALTH & SAFETY WARNING
DUE TO THE WEIGHT & SIZE OF THE GLASS PANEL(s) A MINIMUM OF TWO PERSONS ARE REQUIRED
TO MOVE AND INSTALL THIS ENCLOSURE
For the wall post and xings use only warm soapy water and damp cloth/ sponge
on a regular basis. After cleaning please rinse with clean water to remove any
residue.
Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol cleaners - these may
result in damage to the surfaces, in particular, the plated component parts.
The glass panels are pre-treated with Life Shield on the inside surfaces only.
Whilst this makes cleaning the glass easier and helps prevent the build up of
harmful lime-scale and soap deposits, the glass still needs to be maintained on a
regular basis. We recommend the use of a detergent and aroma free glass cleaner
(A 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water works well).
DO NOT use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing
equipment for cleaning, these can damage the coating.
DO use a squeegee to remove remaining droplets of water from glass after
showering, any build up of residue can be removed easily using an appropriate
cleaner and agitation from soft cleaning equipment.

Step 1 - Determine Opening Side
1. Stand the ‘Door Glass Assembly’ upright, leaning
against a wall ensuring all contact corners are
protected. Determine if the shower enclosure is to
be opening from the left or right (the handle will be
next to the wall when in the closed position). Ensuring
the Lifesheild remains to the inside of the enclosure
(rear face, resting on the wall).
2. Once the ‘handing’ has been determined, t the
two ‘Top Roller Assemblies’ to the top corners of the
glass, with the wheels facing the outside. To do this,
the screw is removed using the 3mm Allen key, and
the small casting half and patch pad are placed to the
inside of the glass, before the wheel casting and patch
are placed to the outside of the glass, The screw is
reinserted and tightened.
3. Now take the right and left ‘Bottom Guides’ and
t to the bottom left and right corners of the glass.
Again removing the screw, and sandwiching the
glass between the two casting and patches pads,
before reinserting the screw and tightening, ensuring
the grooved retaining arms are to the outside and
pointing to the centre. Now take the ‘Door Splash
Seal’ (PlexRF033) and place on to the bottom of the
door between the bottom guides, with the skirt to
the outside.
Step 2 - Handing of Unit
1. This stage will determine which side you
wish to t the xed panel glass, to the left or
to the right of the unit, to suit your installation.
Arrange the wall posts into the correct
position, either left or right depending on the
door opening and xed panel. View From

Step 7 - Trim Excess Seal
1.During the manufacturing process the
seals on each side of the frame are often
left ‘long’ to allow for expansion and
contraction during transit. Ensure the seals
are sitting ush with the bottom of the
frame on each side.
2.Using cutting pliers, trim the seals on each
side ush with the top of the frame.
2. Using a at headed screwdriver, adjust the six nylon adjustment screws,
three down each side, in an anti-clockwise direction, until the frame has
expanded and is only slightly wedged. Try to adjust each side equally, to
achieve equal spacings down each side of the frame .
Step 8 - Adjust Height
1. Using a spirit level, check to see if
the bottom frame is level, ensure the
spirit level is sat down fully onto the sill.
2. Using a at-head screwdriver adjust
the two nylon height adjustment screws
(lower screw in each corner). Adjust
until the bottom frame is level.
Step 6 - Offer Up & Adjust Fit
1. ‘Offer up’ the frame into the recess,
ensuring the bottom is sat rmly on the
shower tray.
==
Step 3 - Assemble Framework
1. Using the ‘No. 6’s x 30mm’ long screws and ‘Rails,’ insert each screw through
the relevant holes in white plastic spacer blocks on the wall posts and into each
screw-port, two screws for each corner of frame, ensuring these are fully tightened
by hand. The side of the rails with the screwed in ‘stop’ should be to the xed glass
panel side, opposite to the door opening. Also ensure that the rails are tted ush
with ends of each wall-post.
Step 4 - Remove Clip-In Extrusions
1. Locate the clip-in extrusions down the in side of the frame, press and
rotate the clip-in extrusion at top, middle and bottom of door frame, to
gently prise the extrusion away from the frame by hand only. (Handing
shown below for example only).
2. Remove the clip-in extrusion from each side of the frame.
3. Ensure the removed extrusions are kept separate, as left and right.

1. Insert ‘Height Adj. Cam (M54-02)’ into the hole
on bottom corner of the outer face of the frame,
ensure the cam is orientated as shown.
2. Slide the ‘Height Adj. Base (M54-01)’ into the
frame, over the ‘Height Adj. Cam,’ It ‘clicks’ once
engaged.
3. Push the ‘Height Adj. Base’ fully into the frame,
ush to the bottom. Repeat for opposite side.

Step 15 - Fit Seal to Fixed Glass Panel
Step 10 - Drill Mounting Holes & Insert Wall Plugs
1. Remove the frame from the
recess, loosening the adjustment
screws along each side if required
(do not adjust the bottom height
adjustment screws). Placing safely
off to one-side.
2. Using a 7mm masonry drill bit
and drill (or appropriate drill bit if
drilling tiles), drill six holes using the
‘spot’ marks from step 8, each hole
should be 45mm in depth.
3. Insert the six ‘6mm Wall Plugs’
into the six holes.
Step 11 - Fitting the Frame
1. Insert the frame back into position, tighten the adjustment screws once
again until the frame is even in the gap and held fast. Using a spirit level, check
that the frame is ‘plumb’ vertical and the holes in the frame line up with the
plugs in the wall. Ensure that the frame is not twisted or buckled and square
on all sides.
2. Using 6 x No.8 Pan-head 60mm screws provided, screw the frame to
the wall on each side. Be sure not to over tighten the middle screws (nger
tighten only) as this may cause “bowing” of the door frame. Using the ‘clip-
in’ extrusions as a straight edge, rest the straight edge against edge side of
the frame, you’ll be able to see any bowing that may have occurred. The
middle screws may now be adjusted to assist in plumbing the door frame
and removing the “bow.”
6 x No.8
Step 12 - Re-t Clip-In Extrusions
1. Re-t clip-in extrusions, which were removed in stage 4. The clip-in extrusion
with “ipper seal” should be on the handle side of door. Ensure the leading edge is
properly located along the full height before pressing the clip-in extrusion into the
door frame, it will not locate properly if twisted.
Locate Here
45mm Deep
1. Fit the xed panel glass, carefully t glass panel into slot in wall-
post, ensuring panel is square to wall. Tap the plastic prole rmly
into groove of clip-in extrusion along full length, if this is not done,
the xed panel glass may interfere with the door glass when this
is installed. Ensure that the glass surface treated with LIFESHIELD
faces to INSIDE of shower enclosure - see label on glass.
Inserting the glazing seal, starting at top and working
downwards, trim excess length. If tight, lubricate
glazing seal with water. Do not stretch seal when
inserting, because, after cutting to length, the seal
will shrink and leave a gap.
If the seal is misshapen, soak in warm water, not
boiling, for 2-3 minutes prior to use.
Step 13 - Shim Frame
1. Often shower trays have different
angled top faces, in order to help keep the
frame supported use the ‘Shim (M97-01)’
supplied. On the inside of the enclosure
measure the gap between the bottom of
the rail and top of the tray, select the height
required from the shim strip supplied,
break off and insert under rail at xed panel
bracket position . This will support rail when
glass is tted. The shim will be concealed by
silicone sealant later.
2. Attach the ‘Glass Patch Clamps’
(DCM-85-ASM) top and bottom of
the xed panel. Tighten the ‘No.6x12
PH S/S Screws’ into the two clamps,
ensuring the screws engage centrally
with the two pre-drilled pilot holes
in the rails. Finally, ‘push t’ the Patch
Guide Caps (M276-01) into the two
clamps.
Locate Plastic Profile in
1. Uncoil the two
‘Glazing Wedge Seals
(PlexF05),’ Insert the
seals to the outside
of the enclosure,
between the xed
glass panel and lip of
the metal frame, along
the side and across the
bottom.
Step 9 - Mark Position of Holes
1. Using a spirit level, check that the
frame ‘plumb’ vertical.
2. Using a 3mm rod (we recommend
a small Allen key or drill bit), place a
small amount of marking paste (we
recommend shoe polish) on the end
of the rod, and ‘spot’ through the 3
screw holes down each side of the
frame (blue lined).

Step 17 - Adjust Glass
IMPORTANT: You must ensure that the
bottom of the glass door runs completely
parallel with the top surface of the bottom
rail, if not you need to adjust the enclosure
ensuring everything is level. Failure to follow
this instruction will cause the bottom seal to
tear prematurely and invalidate the seals
2 year guarantee.
1.Looking from the outside of the enclosure, slide
the door into the closed position, with the glass
pushed up against the seal on the wall post. Check
the door glass is level with the wall post down the
entirety of its edge.
2.If there is an uneven gap, the glass in the door can
be adjusted either up or down at each corner with
the rollers. Using a Pozi-head Screwdriver, loosen
or tighten the bolt located on the top of each roller
set. Each roller has around 6mm of adjustment,
clockwise will lower the glass, anti-clockwise raises
the glass.
1. On the outside, silicone around all three junctions with the wall and tray, and also on the frame where the sill
meets the uprights. On the inside, only silicone along the two vertical junctions with the wall, and around the shim.
Do not silicone seal on the inside of unit (except where shown). Sealing the wall posts & sills to the tray on the inside
can result in leakage problems- please note that, in use, water can penetrate into the frame extrusions- this has no
detrimental effect to the product- however, this water must be allowed to drain out of the extrusions to the inside.
Step 19 - Fit Cover Caps
1. At both top corners, t the inner ‘Comp.
Chnl. Top Caps (M56-02)’ followed by the
‘Wall Jamb Top Caps (M56-01).’ Securing
in place with the No.4x10mm CSK screws
provided.
Step 20 - Silicone
Step 21 - Wait 24hr
1. Allow 24 hours before using the shower.
Outside Only Inside Only
Step 16 - Fit Glass Door
1. Fit the glass door, by rst lifting the door into
position with both sets of wheels sitting in the top rail
prole. The rail should now take the doors weight.
2. Turn the two release levers, until the slots
in the rear arms of the release levers sits onto
the bottom rail edge protrusion, holding the
bottom of the door in-place.
Silicone Along Shim Only
Step 18 - Fit Overlap Seals
1. 1. Take the ‘1873 Overlap Seal’ (PlexRF023), and t to
the edge of the xed panel, with the soft ‘skirt’ facing the
inside, in order to contact with the sliding door glass. Make
sure the seal is fully sat fully down onto the glass clamp at
the bottom of the xed panel.
2. Fit the 1912mm Overlap Seal (PlexRF023) to the inside
edge of the sliding door glass panel, with the soft n facing
the xed panel. Notch the top and bottom (approximately
16mm at the bottom, and 25mm at the top), to ensure a
tight contact with the glass clamp at the bottom when in
the closed position.
