Installation Steps with Square End Caps
1. Thoroughly clean threshold surface of all soap scum and debris using standard bath cleanser. Chemically clean sur-
face with rubbing alcohol.
2. Dry Fit: measure the required length. Be sure to include inserted end caps in overall measurement.
3. Trim Caps on backside wall & fl oor mating surfaces if necessary to the contour of the corner for tight fi t and fi nish
to minimize caulking.
4. Determine and mark center point of shower.
5. Determine and mark center point of water retainer strip.
6. Turn over water retainer strip and make cut on orange peel off strip at half way mark. Peel off a portion (approx.
4”) of the orange peel off strip in one direction exposing the adhesive.
7. Align strip with pre-determined half way mark.
8. Press on and adhere approximately 4” of strip.

16. Allow 12 hours until adhesive cures before use.
17. Tile Application Grout Line joints: The grout joints or entire outer edge beneath the retainer must be
caulked to prevent soap and shower debris from lodging beneath the retainer. The adhesive tape does not extend to
the edge (by design) to allow the retainer to absorb the impact energy of a rolling shower chair in high use applica-
tions. Wipe off excess caulk and let cure (according to caulk specifi cations) prior to shower use.
