Press the header [H] over the wall jambs [B] and

the 180° post [G]. Plumb the post, moving it laterally
as required to maintain proper coverage on the fixed
glass panel [F]. The minimum horizontal dimension
for the door opening is the door panel width (see the
illustration in Step #8) plus 1/2", maximum is the door
panel width plus 1 3/4". Using the holes in the ends of
the header and curb as a guide, drill four 1/8" holes into
the wall jambs. Drill two 1/8" holes thru the header
and curb into the 180° post as shown, then enlarge the
two outer holes with a 3/16" drill for clearance on the
self-tapping screws. Secure the header and curb to the
wall jambs and 180° post with six #8 x 1/4" truss head
screws [J].

CAUTION: Slide the glass panel away from the wall
jamb before drilling to prevent damage or breakage.

Slide the clear vinyl jamb seal [K] into the

pivot jamb [L] and trim flush at both ends. The
vinyl should be turned to trap water from the
shower head. Secure the vinyl with a small
quantity of glue or caulk at each end or by carefully
crimping the vinyl pocket.

Press the pivot jamb and the strike jamb assembly
[M] (with magnetic strip) over the wall jamb [B]
and 180° post [G]. Refer to Step #1 for the proper
handing of the door.

NOTE: The magnetic strip on the strike jamb
must face the exterior and the clear vinyl jamb
seal on the pivot jamb must face inward.

Snap the fillers [N] into the curb [A] and

header [H] between the door jambs with the raised
lip to the exterior and the pivot holes toward the
pivot jamb. Center the curb filler in the curb
between the pivot and strike jamb (use masking
tape to hold in position).

NOTE: The snap-in fillers should be exactly 3/8"
longer than the door panel glass width.
