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
responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns.
3. If this unit is going to be installed in a 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. Note that some adjustments and drilling will be necessary during the installation process.
5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set the 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. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.
7. This door is extremely heavy and the hinges on this door must be attached into studs or to
preinstalled 2”× 6” wood reinforcement behind the wall. See step #5 for details.
Installation into metal studs is not recommended.

2. Set the Door Glass (#01) (with two 5/8” spacers attached to the bottom) onto the threshold at the
desired location and check for level. The provided 5/8” spacers will leave the proper spacing at the
bottom of the Door Glass (#01). Carefully position the Door Glass (#01) with the hinge side against the
wall, adjust its position and check for plumb with a level before marking the hinge positions. (Fig 2)
NOTE: Use a tape measure to confirm that the installed height of the Door Glass (#01) will
match the height of the Stationary Panel Glass (#11) before marking the hinge locations.
TIP: Position the hinge-side bottom

bottom edge and corners from damage which could lead to breakage.
3. If the hinge-side wall is out-of-plumb, use the
PVC Hinge Spacers (#31) to plumb the door.
Do not exceed 1/4” of adjustment. (Fig 3)

IMPORTANT: The included PVC Hinge Spacers (#31)
are provided to compensate for minor out-of-plumb
wall conditions. Use only as needed as their use could
compromise the opening size of your shower and
prevent proper installation.

4. Check the hinge-side wall with a level to determine if the wall is out-of-plumb. Use the correct
PVC Glass Spacer(s) (#34) to correct for the condition if it exists. Then use the same spacers during
the final installation of the hinges to the wall. (Fig 4)

outside edge of the threshold. Mark the threshold
in several places along the U-Channel, checking

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 a 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
