Thank you for purchasing this Napoli shower screen. Please study these instructions
carefully before assembly and installation.
Checking of Parts
Parts are listed at the beginning of this guide. Please check all supplied parts immediately
and contact the Majestic Shower Company in the event of any missing or damaged parts.
These instructions are for left and right-handed units. All parts are reversible.
Handling of Parts
When handling glass, use suction glass lifters and take care to ensure that corners or edges
are not knocked. Do not place glass on hard surfaces - place cushioning material under-
neath to prevent the glass from shattering.
Unwrap all metal parts carefully to prevent damaging the plated surfaces.
Pre Installation Checks
Prior to undertaking installation, check the accuracy of the following against specifications
for the particular installation location:
- Verticality and flatness of walls. Where wall profiles are used, some lean in or lean out of
the wall relative to the floor or tray can be accommodated (+/- 9mm if 24mm profile is used,
+/- 5mm if 17mm profile is used). Walls must be substantially flat.
- Levelness and flatness of the floor or tray. Where a profile or underframe is used under-
neath a glass panel, any minor hollows in the mounting surface must be solidly packed to
prevent deflection under the weight of the glass as this may over stress the glass.
Installation Tips
The general principle of assembly is to assemble parts in the steps shown - first a dry
assembly to check fits or mark cutting or drilling positions and then a final assembly with
silicone.
When cutting aluminium extrusion, wrap the profile with masking tape first and cut through
the taped area - this will help protect the surrounding surface. Use a fine file to smooth cut
edges.
If anti-calcium glass has been specified, the treated side of the glass will be indicated and
should always face inwards towards the wet side of the shower area.
DO NOT ASSEMBLE WITHOUT FULLY READING THESEINSTRUCTIONS

Place the 10 mm Spacer into the Underframe channel and use it to align the vertical wall
profiles at each end of the Underframe.
Push the wall profiles down as far as they will go and use a 2 metre spirit level to ensure that
they are plumb vertical. Mark the screw fixing holes on the wall and remove the vertical profiles.
Drill 4.5 mm holes where marked and insert wall plugs. Reposition the vertical
profiles and insert the top and bottom screws to hold them temporarily in place.
Remove the 10 mm Spacer. Insert rubber strip into the underframe as shown to
cushion the glass.

Using suction glass lifters, lift the glass In Line panels into the vertical wall profiles and gently
lower them into the Underframe channel. The Underframe Insert is supplied cut to the correct
length, which is equal to the width of the glass Door plus 8 mm clearance for vertical seals.
Position the In Line panels so that the Underframe Insert fits snugly between them.
Use a spirit level to ensure that the edge of each panel is plumb vertical. If necessary, insert
additional rubber strips under the panel (a maximum of 3 thicknesses) to achieve this and
note the position of the rubber.
Mark the positions of the edges of the In Line panels with tape on the underframe so
that they can be removed and replaced in the same position.
Mark the vertical wall profiles at the top edge of the glass for trimming if they are
too long.

Disassemble the Glass to Wall Brackets being careful not to damage the face plates.
With the clear plastic gaskets inserted both sides of the glass and wall screw plates
facing inwards, align the brackets centrally to the slots in the glass panels, hold them in
place and mark the screw hole positions on both walls.
Put the brackets to one side and use the suction glass lifters to carefully remove
the glass panels. Unscrew and remove the vertical wall profiles.
Drill 7mm holes in both walls for the brackets as marked and insert wall plugs.

If the vertical wall profiles are too long, cut them to length and file the cut ends smooth.
Run a bead of silicone along the wall side of the vertical profiles, as shown. Screw them in
place.
Apply a generous amount of silicone on the inside of the channels where they meet in
the corners to prevent water penetration.
10 Ensure that the rubber strip is in place in the underframe channel in the position
to be occupied by the In Line panels. Trim it at the ends of the panel positions so
that it does not extend into the door position.
Loosely screw the 4 Glass to Wall brackets to the wall.
Run continuous beads of silicone along the inside of the vertical wall profiles and
the In Line panel positions in the Underframe channel, as shown. Do not place
silicone in the central door area of the Underframe.

11 Using the suction glass lifters, replace the In Line panel into the silicone lined channels, as
marked on the underframe. Make sure that the gap for the door is correct and that the clear
plastic Underframe Insert fits snugly between the In Line panel and the wall over the full
height of the door aperture. 12 To prevent leakage around the Glass to Wall brackets, fill the glass slots with silicone
before fitting the face plates.
Loosely fix the face plates through the slots in the glass, ensuring that the clear
gaskets are inserted on both sides of the panel. Fully tighten the wall screws.
Recheck that the Return panel is plumb vertical and in the correct position in the
underframe, then fully tighten the Glass to Wall bracket face plates.

13 Insert short pieces of the self adhesive rubber strip supplied in each In Line panel hinge slot
as shown to ensure that the door does not drop under its own weight over time.
Disassemble the hinges, being careful not to damage the polished surfaces, and place the
hinges and their face plates either side of the hinge slots on the In Line panel with screws
facing inwards. Ensure that each face of the glass is separated from the hinges by a gasket.
Loosely screw the hinges and face plates together.
14 Position the hinges centrally in their slots and use a set square to align them with
the edge of the glass. Check that the holes are adequately packed with the rubber
strips by using a set square to ensure that the hinges are at 90 degrees to the
edge of the glass when upward pressure is applied to them.
Fully tighten the hinge screws on the In Line panel to 10-12 NM torque.

17 One Glass to Glass vertical sea is to be pushed on to the edge of the In Line panel on the
handle side of the Door, touching the underframe and trimmed level with the glass at the top.
The second vertical seal is to be cut in 3 sections to fit to the edge of the In Line panel above,
below and between the hinges.
For maximum resistance to leakage, the seal sections should be cut as shown above to allow
them to fill the gaps in the hinge through which water might otherwise escape.
18 Open the door and slide the 3 sections of seal on to the edge of the glass panel,
pushing the notched ends inside the hinge as shown.
The lower section of the seal should be cut straight and pushed down to touch
the Underframe (see illustration at Step 19).

Similarly, run a bead of silicone into the corners where the wall profiles meet the
wall, both on the inside and the outside of the enclosure.
24 Adjust the bias on the hinges using the 2 small grub screws on the inside and
outside of the hinge. For an outward opening door, the two grub screws on the
outside of each hinge should be undone until their heads are flush with the hinge.
The grub screws on the inside of the hinge can then be tightened, pulling the door
in to the seal.
Reverse this process for inward opening doors.
