INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - PIVOT WIDE DOOR
Please read these instructions throughout before installing as incorrect tting will invalidate the guarantee.
If you are unsure about these instructions please contact Kudos Shower Products 01539 564040.
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.

Step1- Determine Door Opening
1. Determine whether door is to be left or right
opening. This will then identify which is the top of
the door, (the door can be installed either way up
and this establishes whether the door is to be left
or right hand opening).
Step 2 - Remove Glass And Pivots
1. Remove bolt from top pivot
assembly using 4mm Allen key.
2. Remove the outward facing
pivot body, by pulling downward.
3. Carefully lift the glass and bottom pivot
assembly up and out of the frame, ensuring
it is stored suitably until required.
4. Remove the remaining pivot
body from the top frame.
Ensure all removed parts are
retained for use in later steps.
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 6 - 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.
Step 5 - 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.
2. Remove the clip-in extrusion from each side of the frame.

3. Ensure the removed extrusions are
kept separate, as left and right.
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 9 - Mark Position of Holes
1. Using a spirit level, check that the
frame ‘plumb’ vertical.
2. Using a 4mm 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 7 - Offer Up & Adjust Fit
1. ‘Offer up’ the frame into the recess,
ensuring the bottom is sat rmly on the
shower tray.

Step 14 - Re-t Fixed Glass Panel
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
1. Re-t 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.
1. Uncoil the ‘Glazing Wedge Seal (PlexF05),’ Insert the seal to the outside
of the enclosure, between the xed glass panel and lip of the metal frame.
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 pivot body
position . This will support rail when
glass is tted. The shim will be
concealed by silicone sealant later.
2. Tighten xing bolts until the panel is secure.

Step 17 - Adjust Glass
1.Using the Allen key provided, loosen the bottom pivot bolt, until
the rubber gasket inside the pivot half disengages the glass, allowing
some movement.
2. Adjust the door glass left or right so that it meets the closing seal
evenly top to bottom and there is sufcient pressure on the edge
of the glass to hold the door closed in the seals.
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.
3.Once glass is in place, re-tighten bolts top
and bottom on the pivot assemblies, only
tighten until the inner gasket is holding the glass
securely.
Step 18 - Fit Pivot Covers
Step 19 - Cut and Fit Drip Seal
1.Clip on four ‘Pivot Covers (M279-01),’
these are pushed on my hand (if necessary
these can be removed again by carefully
levering the lower edge of the caps to
release the clipping action).
1.Taking the ‘6mm Bottom Seal (PlexRF033-02),’ cut the bottom seal to t the
bottom-exposed edges of the door glass to the left and right of the pivot points
and clip this into position, use a junior hacksaw for the hard plastic edge and
cutting pliers/craft knife for the soft plastic leg. Fit so that the exible leg on the
longer length of the seal is to the outside of enclosure, and to the inside on the
short length. Ensure the two outer ends are ush with glass and the other end
of each seal section are ush with the pivot, minimizing escaping water.

Step 20 - 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.
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.
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 21 - Fit Handle
1. Fit the ‘Handle (934)’ to the glass door,
ensuring the half with the cap is facing to the
inside.
Step 22 - Silicone
Step 23 - Wait 24hr
1. Allow 24 hours before using the shower.
Outside Only Inside Only
Step 16 - Re-t Glass Door
1. Re-t the glass door, which was removed in step 2, by rst inserting the pivot spindle of the bottom pivot on the door into the pivot body on the bottom sill. When
re-tting the top half of the pivot body back to the glass using the bolt, only tighten the bolt so its holding the glass loosely at the top, around two full turn away from
been tight.
