Hold the two 135° posts [K] plumb and care-

fully measure horizontally from the top of each
wall jamb [E] to the outside edge of the posts. Add
3/16" to each measurement to find the correspond-
ing dimension on the header assembly [D] (from
the outside mitered edge to the squared ends) and
trim the header assembly to fit.

Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill the interior face of the
header assembly on both ends as shown.

Slide the clear vinyl jamb seal [L] into the

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

Press the pivot jamb and the strike jamb assembly
[N] (with magnetic strip) over the two 135° posts
[K]. 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.

Press the header assembly [D] over the wall

jambs [E] and the 135° posts [K]. Check the posts for
plumb. Adjust as required by varying the overlap of the
header over the wall jambs. You may need to trim the
ends of the header where it meets the wall. The
minimum horizontal dimension for the door opening is
the door panel width (see the graphic in Step #9) 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
four holes thru the header and curb into the two posts
as shown, then enlarge the outer holes with a 3/16" drill
for clearance on the self-tapping screws. Secure the
header and curb to the wall jambs and posts with eight
#8 x 1/4" truss head screws [C].

CAUTION: Slide glass panels [J] away from the jamb
or posts before drilling to prevent damage or breakage.
