WARNING
•Handle fragile items with care to prevent personal injury or material damage.
•Glass on panels and doors is tempered glass and must never be cut to prevent personal injury.
IMPORTANT
•Fiberglass or acrylic construction might not be sufficiently strong enough to support the shower door
enclosure. You should use the wood framing from behind the face edge of the stall to provide a secure
mounting to the door. Apply a bead of silicone between the walls and base of the stall.
•For optimum performance, you should install the shower door perfectly level on a level surface.
MODEL VG06041 HAS A REVERSIBLE DOOR AND CAN THEREFORE BE INSTALLED TO EITHER
THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE (SEE CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM BELOW)

MODEL VG06041 5
PREPARATION STEPS TO FOLLOW BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the plastic layer from the base border (if needed). Do NOT remove the plastic layer
off the plastic platform of the base.
2. Properly apply silicone to the wall and base joints.
IMPORTANT
•Verify that the overall size of the shower door opening is appropriate for the shower enclosure.
If necessary, cut the structural rail to match the length of the opening (see page 3 diagram).
•Due to individual site variations, exact guidelines for every situation cannot be supplied. The
recommended framing and dimensional requirements are shown for a typical application and
may vary depending on the site requirements.
•To prevent damage to the finish, you should protect the
shower cabin bottom with a cardboard protector before
beginning the installation.
•Ensure that there is sufficient structural support behind the
shower wall to hold the weight of the shower door. If there is
not sufficient enough support, then reinforce the shower
walls with wooden studs prior to shower door installation.
[SEE FIG.1]
