! WARNING
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALL THIS SHOWER CABIN AND INCLUDE THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO INSTALL THE DOOR UNIT.
INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER DOORS BY AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON MAY RESULT IN GLASS BREAKAGE AND, CONSEQUENTLY, CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Handle fragile items with care to prevent injury or material damage.
Glass on panels and doors is tempered glass and must never be cut to prevent personal injury.
Always rest glass on a level surface
BEFORE STARTING
Compare items on your invoice with what you have received. Carefully review the Parts List on page 2. If any items are missing contact Vigo Industries at 1-866-591-7792. Please check our website at www.vigoindustries.com for additional information or instructional videos.
REQUIRED TOOLS
Square and/or Phillips #1 and #2 screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Electric drill plus 1/8", 5/16", 1/4" and 3/16" drill bits (depending on wall)
Level
Measuring tape
Pencil (non-permanent)
Clear silicone caulking
Utility knife
Shims (not provided)
IMPORTANT
Fiberglass, acrylic or sheetrock 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.
When installing use heavy duty gloves.
FOR THE MATTE GLASS MODELS: Oil secretions from skin will leave transparent spots on the matte side of the glass. Use a degreasing, non-abrasive cleaner to remove these secretions. The same will happen if you get silicone on the matte glass. Use a silicone remover to remove these stains.
IMPORTANT:
THE CLEAR GLASS MODEL HAS A REVERSIBLE DOOR AND CAN BE INSTALLED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE. (SEE CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM BELOW)
