#7 &
#8 of the
CrystalLine Frameless Hinge Door Installation
Instructions for information regarding the hinge assembly,
drip rail.
STEP 1
Thresholds (A) are pre-cut to specified centerline
dimensions and can be distinguished from header by the weep
holes. Insert 90° corner bracket (B) and position mitered ends
tightly together. Drill 1/8" tap holes through the holes provided
and secure with #6 x 3/8" screws (C). NOTE: Caulk holes before
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 threshold about 3" from the corner & wall. Set
return glass panel (H) in place and position the 90º corner
post (I) using a level.
NOTE: Post must be plumb before measuring
for headers.
STEP 4
Headers (J) are overcut. Measure for headers
and cut.
STEP 5
Insert 90° corner bracket (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 90° corner post (I). Verify that the corner post is plumb
before drilling here. Secure with #8 x 7/16" screws (F).
STEP 7
Secure the wall jambs (D) and the corner post
(I) to the threshold assembly (A) with 9/64" tap holes and #8
x 7/16" screws (F).
STEP 8
Position the door panel assembly (K) into
the opening. Plumb the door panel assembly and secure it to
the corner post (I) or wall jamb (D) 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) or wall jamb (D) using #8 x 1/2" Tek screws
(M ) through the holes provided.
STEP 11
There are two different types of vinyl for
glazing the return panel (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 (L) 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.
