Preparation

1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare piece count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction carefully. Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by marking all the components on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please note

that DreamLine® will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLine

questions and please provide a purchase order #, name or other proof of purchase to help identify the original order.

2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation

compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine® is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns.

3. If this unit is going to be installed in new construction, please install all of the required plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber

for all plumbing installation.

4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please, note that some adjustments and drilling might be necessary during the installation process.

®

if you have any

5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.

6. Installation of this model requires that you drill down into the threshold or shower base. Contact

the manufacturer of the base or threshold material with any questions regarding the drilling of holes into their product.

7. Stationary panel size of 34” is a nominal dimension referring to the overall size of the panel after installation and not the actual glass size.

8. The vertical (wall) u-channel will allow up to 1/2” of out-of-plumb adjustment.

Do not exceed this tolerance.

9. This model requires a minimum 5/8” of flat level threshold space for installation.

10. Installation into a stud behind the wall is recommended.

11. Professional installation recommended.

To prevent serious injury, do not lean against the installed panel glass.

Installation steps

1. Check the wall for plumb and the

threshold for level. Draw a line on the threshold and on the wall to represent the centerline of the U-Channel. Make sure the line on the threshold is parallel to the outside edge. (Fig 1)

2. Use a miter saw or hacksaw to cut the

Vertical U-Channel (#09) to 71”. If the wall is plumb, cut the Bottom U-Channel (#29) to 34” (if the wall is

out-of-plumb at the bottom, see the Note** below). Use a metal file to file off any burrs on the cut end. (Fig 2)

7. Apply a bead of silicone into the length of

the U-Channels first. Then, cut and add 2” pieces of the 0.5mm PVC Glass Spacers (#34) into the Bottom U-Channel (#29) to protect the bottom and corners of the glass.

(Fig 7)

8. Install the Stationary Glass (#11)

into the Vertical U-Channel (#09) first and then slide it down into the Bottom U-Channel (#29). Check for level and plumb. (Fig 8)

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use

with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.

NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and all hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage. Contact DreamLine with any questions or concerns.
