Important
The bathtub must be installed per installation instructions D884000 for the Merano™ or E160000 for the Siena™.
Follow the instructions to ensure that proper framing has been provided to support the J-Shower Tower. Finishing
materials must be waterproof and sealed so that spray and condensation do not cause moisture damage.
NOTE: The J-Shower Tower has been partially pre-assembled for your convenience during installation.
The installer must still follow the instructions to ensure proper installation of the tower and components
(see page 13). We recommend that two persons perform this installation.

1. Locate the drilling template. Place it over the bathtub. The inner orange circle must be centered over the
circular opening of the bathtub. (See Illustration 9.) Be sure the orange circle is spaced an equal distance
around the bath cavity. The line marked back wall and side wall must be parallel with each wall. Make sure
that the template lies flat. Using a sharp center punch, lightly tap through the template hole center location
marks onto the bath surface. Remove the template.
2. Drill three (2) 5/16" diameter holes for the tower and (5) 3/16" holes for the bottom rail.
IMPORTANT: THE HOLES MUST BE DRILLED AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE TO INSURE PROPER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE SHOWER DOOR.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Although the J-Shower Tower is shipped partially assembled, it will have to be partially disassembled to
install. After removing packing materials, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove end cap on the lower track. (Page 20, illustration 24.)
2. Remove the top ring. (Page 17, illustration 19.)
3. Remove the fixed panel with bottom rail. (Page 16, illustration 15 .)
4. It is not necessary to remove bails or wall bar. Water connections will have to be removed to apply sealant.

bath surface. (See Illustration 15.) Secure the assembly to the bathtub using one (1) nut and washer and four
(4) screws and washers following the fastening sequence. Gently push on the shaded portion of the bottom rail
(see Illustration 15) to align with the holes in the bath shell. After installing the fixed panel, apply sealant along
all four inside edges of the glass frame. Clean up excess sealant.

parallel with the back wall. (See Illustration 16.) Mark a line on
the back wall indicating the top plane of the ring. (See Illustration
17.) Remove the ring. Locate the wall bracket and secure it to the
back wall. The bottom surface of the bracket must be in line with
the top ring line previously marked. (See Illustration 18.)
