CrystalLine Hinge Door System with Neo Angle Panels on Level

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully and become familiar with all parts before installation.

ATTENTION: If using CrystalLine Frameless Door, refer to steps #4, #7 & #8 of the CrystalLine Frameless Hinge Door Installation Instructions for information regarding the hinge assembly, drip rail & handle.

STEP 1

Thresholds (A) are pre-cut to specified centerline dimensions and can be distinguished from header by the weep holes. Insert corner brackets (B) and position mitered ends tightly together. Drill 1/8" tap holes through holes provided and secure with #6 x3/8" screws (C).

NOTE: Caulk holes prior to securing with screws.

STEP 2

Apply a generous bead of silicone based caulk to the underside of thresholds (A) and place assembly on curb. Using a level, position the wall jambs (D) into the threshold and against the wall, with the longer legs towards the opening. Mark through the holes provided for anchoring. Drill 3/16" holes and insert plastic anchors (E) for masonry applications or drill 1/8" tap holes for fiberglass and acrylic units. Secure jambs to the walls with #8 x 1-1/2" screws (N).

STEP 3

Place glass setting blocks (G) with legs facing down in return thresholds about 3" from the corner and wall. Set glass panels (H) in place and position the corner posts (I) using a level.

NOTE: Posts must be plumb prior to measuring for headers.

STEP 4

Center header (J) is cut to specified centerline dimension and return headers (J) are overcut. Place center header in position, measure for return headers and cut.

STEP 5

Insert corner brackets (B) and position mitered ends tightly together. Drill 1/8" tap holes through holes provided and secure with #6 x 3/8" screws (C).

STEP 6

Place header assembly on top of unit. Drill 9/64" tap holes through the header to the wall jambs (D) and to the corner posts (I). Verify that the corner posts are plumb before drilling here. Secure with #8 x 7/16" screws (F).

STEP 7

Secure the wall jambs (D) and the corner posts (I) to the threshold assembly with 9/64" tap holes and #8 x 7/16" screws (F).

STEP 8

Position the door assembly (K) into the opening. Plumb the door assembly and secure it to the corner post (I) using #8 x 1/2" Tek screws (M) through the holes provided.

STEP 9

Position the header/threshold inserts (O) against the hinge jamb and snap into place. Make certain upright leg is to outside of shower.

STEP 10

Position the strike jamb (L) into the opening and flush against the header/threshold inserts (O). Secure to the corner post (I) using #8 x 1/2" Tek screws (M) through the holes provided.

STEP 11

There are two different types of vinyl for glazing the panels (H); vertical vinyl (P) and horizontal vinyl (Q). The horizontal vinyl is larger and installs first. Cut the vinyl to the opening, trimming the ends on a 45° miter Install the vinyl on the interior side first by pressing into the threshold & header. Follow with the exterior side, and then install the vertical vinyl the same way being sure the corners fit tightly together.

NOTE: If vinyl is difficult to press in, lubricate with glass cleaner.

STEP 12

Secure the drip anchor (AA) with sweep (BB) to the bottom of the door panel (K) using #8 x 1/2" Tek screws (M). The drip anchor should be flush with the bottom of the door.

STEP 13

Insert the drip channel end plug (DD) into the end of the drip channel (CC). Position drip channel (CC) with the highest point towards the strike jamb and angle down for desired drainage. Secure with #6 x 7/32" screws (EE).

STEP 14

Install the handles (R) with #6-32 x 1-1/2" screws (S) provided.

STEP 15

Caulk all edges and joints exposed to water using a silicone based caulk or other suitable sealant that will prevent water leakage.
