PIVOT DOOR OFFSET PENTAGON
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All Supreme shower doors and panels are fully assembled and
are reversible for left or right hand tting, simply turn the door or
panel up side down.
The Supreme doors come with the two wall channels pushed
onto each side of the door frame. The side panels and inline
panels do NOT come with wall channels, you must use one of the
channels from the door.
The installation instructions are based on typical use and
conditions.
The pivot doors are designed to open outwards only.
Please follow the installation instructions relevant to your
enclosure.
These hints have been prepared for your guidance, you must
exercise due care at all times.
It is recommended that 2 people carry out the installation of this
enclosure.
Handle glass with care. Although the glass supplied is toughened
safety glass (to EN12150), impacts can damage both the glass
and the frame.
Warning! Please check for any hidden pipes or cables before
drilling holes in the wall.
To stop the drill bit slipping, masking tape can be applied to the
tiles when preparing the holes.
When using power tools always follow the manufacturers user
instructions.
Do not sit the enclosure on a bed of silicone, as this will also stop
any water from draining back into the tray.
DO NOT SEAL THE ENCLOSURE TO THE TRAY ON THE
INSIDE
If the enclosure is sealed to the tray on the inside, any water that
may get into the framework will not be able to drain back into the
tray, this may cause the enclosure to leak.
Leave the silicone sealant to dry for 24 hours before using the
enclosure.
Do not use solvents or abrasive materials or chemicals to clean
the enclosure.
Only clean using soapy water and a soft cloth, rinse thoroughly
afterwards.
Please read these instructions carefully before starting
installation and keep in a safe place for future reference.
Check the contents of the pack carefully before installation.
Simpsons will not be held responsible for any de-t / re-t costs
where faulty product has been tted.
If any fault is found with materials or workmanship, it must be
reported immediately to the manufacturer. Remedial action will
be taken, based on information received, on condition that: 1. Full
details are supplied to the manufacturer; 2. The enclosure has not
been modied or tampered with; 3. The manufacturer is informed
of any damage/shortages prior to installation.
We do not accept responsibility for any problems that may occur
through incorrect installation.
The success of the installation and operation of any shower
enclosure is, of course, dependant on the squareness, alignment
and construction of the walls to which xing is to be carried out.
VERY IMPORTANT
You must complete all tiling and grouting, and the shower tray
MUST be level and fully sealed to the tiles before installation. If
you do not t the enclosure onto a tiled surface, or seal the tiles
to the tray before installation, water may soak into the wall behind
the wall channels.

Step 1
Remove both wall channels from the door frame. Place each wall channel in position on
the tray (10 - 15mm in from the outer edges of the tray), use a spirit level to ensure they
are vertical and mark all 8 xing holes onto the walls (holes inside).
Drill holes in the positions marked using a 6mm masonry drill bit. Insert wall plugs (C)
into all of the holes (beyond the thickness of the tile). Fix the wall channels to the wall
using 8 x 38mm screws (B) and push on the screw covers (D).
Note: Inject silicone sealant into the holes before inserting the screws to seal the holes.
Insert the pent panels into the wall
channels and position correctly on the tray.
Note: The drain slot running across the
top and bottom of the pent panels MUST
be on the inside of the enclosure.
Warning: Take care, the pent posts are
not xed to the pent panels.

Step 4
Before xing the door and pent panels
to the wall channels and pent posts
you must make sure that the door is
square within its outer frame.
First, centre the door between the pent
posts. Next, with the door closed the 4mm
gap between the bottom of the door and
the frame MUST be parallel all the way
across. If the gap is not parallel, push the
top of the door frame to the left or right so
the door hangs squarely within its outer
frame.

Once you have checked that the door opens and closes correctly
and the pent posts are vertical, x the pent panels to the wall
channels and pent posts and x the door to the pent posts.
From inside, drill 3 holes through each wall channel into the pent
panels (in the marked positions) using a 3.5mm drill bit.
Note: Stop drilling as soon as you feel the drill break through the
rst 2 layers of aluminium. Fix using 6 x 10mm screws (A) and
push on the screw covers (D).
Check again that the pent posts are vertical, and drill 6 more
holes through each pent post into the door and pent panels (in the
marked positions) using a 3.5mm drill bit.
Note: Stop drilling as soon as you feel the drill break through the
rst 2 layers of aluminium. Fix using 6 x 10mm screws (A) and
push on the screw covers (D).

Step 6
Fit the brace bar (F). Position the brace
bar in the corner with one end on the pent
panel and the other against the wall. Use
a spirit level to ensure it is level and mark
the screw hole positions onto the pent
panel and wall.
Drill a hole in the position marked on the
wall using a 6mm masonry drill bit. Insert
a wall plug (C) into the hole (beyond the
thickness of the tile). Drill a 3.5mm hole
in the position marked on the pent panel.
Note: Stop drilling as soon as you feel the
drill break through the rst layer
of aluminium. Fix the brace bar to the wall
using a 38mm counter sunk screw (H).
Note: Inject silicone sealant into the hole
before inserting the screw to seal the hole.
Fix to the pent panel using a 15mm
counter sunk screw (G).

When installing the offset enclosure, the brace bar should be xed to the NARROW pent panel.

Step 7
Optional: It is only necessary to t the plastic Anti splash strip (E)
if water splashes out through the gap under the door. Cut the strip
to size (using scissors) and push t onto the lug shown on the
bottom door frame as shown.
Note: If the anti splash strip catches on the door, simply trim to t.

Sealing outside: Run a line of silicone sealant from top to bottom
down the joint between the wall channels and tiles. Run a line
of silicone sealant 100mm up the joint where the pent panels
