6 - ALL DOORS
Measure the wall-to-wall opening at the top of the
wall jambs [ B] and cut the header [ H] to fit the exact
opening. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill the interior face of the
header on both ends as shown.
7 - ALL DOORS
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 graphic 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:
To prevent damage to the glass panel,
drill the holes on the door side of the post.

Strip two clear vinyl jamb seals [
K
] into the
door panel [ L] splash guard and the pivot jamb
[M] and trim flush at the ends. Both vinyls should
be turned to trap water from the shower head.
Secure the vinyls with a small quantity of glue or
caulk at each end or by carefully crimping the
vinyl pocket. Set the door panel aside.
Press the pivot jamb and strike jamb [
N
] (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.
