CrystalLine Frameless By-Pass Door
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully and become familiar
with all parts before installation.
Please Note: For Glazed Units, skip to Step 2. Step 1 is for KD Units
only.
STEP 1
Attach two hanger brackets (K)
to both glass panels (J). Apply a bead of silicone into open part of bracket
(both inside surfaces) before attachment to glass. To assemble hanger bracket
to glass, tighten attached screws until leg of bracket is depressed 1/32".
Center of brackets should be 5" from edge of glass.
IMPORTANT: If using obscure
glass, install brackets so that smooth side of glass is to the inside.
Note: Let silicone cure for
24 hours before hanging panels.
STEP 2
The sill track (A) is provided
oversized. Measure the inside wall opening on tub or shower ledge. Cut the
sill track 7/8" less than this measurement. Apply a bead of silicone to bottom
flat edges of sill track. Lay flat on tub or shower ledge with low side to
the inside. Leave equal space at each end.
STEP 3
Place wall jambs (D) in vertical
position over sill track (A) and press all the way down (Short legs to wall).
Using a level to plumb each wall jamb, mark and drill holes for plastic anchors
(E) using a 3/16" masonry bit. For fiberglass and acrylic stalls, use a 1/8"
bit. Fasten jambs with #8 x 1 ½" panhead screws (F).
STEP 4
The header (I) is provided oversized.
Measure the inside wall opening at the top of the jamb (D) and cut header
1/16" less than this measurement. Place the header in place over the jambs
with side of choice facing the outside.
STEP 5
To set tempered glass panels (J)
in place, lift the inside panel inserting rollers (K) into header (I) and
lower into place. Next lift outside panel in place being sure bottom of panel
is inside sill track (A) and insert rollers into header. Avoid bracket to
bracket contact while lifting panels into place. If either panel needs to
be adjusted for plumb, remove from header and move roller position in hanger
bracket until panel is square with jamb.
STEP 6
Slip sill track guide (B) into
position in center of sill track (A) aligning panels (J) inside sill guide.
Secure with #6 x 3/8" black self drilling tek screws (C). STEP 7 After mating
towel bar sleeve inserts (P) with towel bar sleeves (O), place sleeves over
ends of towel bar (inserts to inside).
NOTE: Open end of sleeve is
to point downward; large concave side of towel bar (L) faces out.
(See Detail Drawing)
STEP 8
Towel bar (L) is to be installed
on outside glass panel only, and positioned at opposite end of shower head.
Center bracket pads (N) over edges of glass and press on towel bar brackets
(M) using a block of wood or rubber mallet. Position brackets so that they
are centered to middle jamb screw. Slide towel bar assembly down between brackets
and secure with four #6 x 1/2" flathead screws (S).
STEP 9
Install pull (Q) on inside panel
next to shower head. Use same attachment procedure as with towel bar brackets
(M) and align pull with towel bar (L). Long curved leg of pull faces inside
tub or shower.
STEP 10
Center hole in each jamb (D) is
slotted to allow adjustment in case of bowed glass. Roll glass panels (J)
into respective jambs and check alignment. If either glass or panel hardware
hits edge of jamb, loosen center screw and adjust jamb as needed to insure
proper closure.
STEP 11
Secure jamb bumpers (G) in place
with #6 x ¾" panhead screws (T). Make sure raised portion of jamb bumper is
to outside on shower head end and to the inside on opposite end. An optional
jamb bumper (H) is provided and may be used either top or bottom on jamb (D)
if needed.
STEP 12
Caulk all edges and joints exposed
to water including where ends of sill track meet interior surface of wall
jambs using a silicone based caulk or other suitable sealant that will prevent
water leakage.
