Dimensions

VIGO strongly recommends this installation be completed by a licensed professional. Installation of door unit requires at least two people.

Required tools

• Square and/or Phillips #1 and #2 screwdriver
• Flat head screwdriver
• Electric drill; 3/32″, 1/8″ or 3/16″ drill bit
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Clear silicone caulking
• Utility knife
• Hacksaw

Important

• Handle fragile items with care to prevent personal injury or material damage.
• The glass panels are tempered and cannot be cut. Never attempt to do so.
• Always rest glass on a level surface.

Before starting

• Compare items on your invoice with what you have received. Carefully review the Parts List on page 2. If any items are missing, please call VIGO Industrias at 1-866-591-7792. Please check our website at
• www.vigoindustrias.com for additional information or instructional videos.
• web www.vigoindutstrias.com .

Important
Fiberglass, acrylic or sheetrock construction might not be sufficiently strong enough to support the shower door enclosure. You should use the wood framing from behind the face edge of the stall to provide a
secure mounting to the door. Apply a bead of silicone between the walls and base of the stall. For optimum performance, you should install the shower door perfectly level on a level surface. By not leveling the
unit during construction the unit may leak causing possible water damage

Left – Right Installation

The clear glass model has a reversible door and can be installed to the right or left side. The matte glass and fluted glass model is not reversible and the direction of installation is specific to the model number. The textured side of the matte glass and fluted glass unit should always be installed on the outside of the unit. (see configuration diagram below)

FIG. 1A (GLASS CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM)

Important

• Verify that the overall size of the shower door opening is appropriate for the shower enclosure.

• Due to individual site variations, exact guidelines for every situation cannot be supplied. The recommended framing and dimensional requirements are shown for a typical application and may vary
  depending on the site requirements.

• To prevent damage to the finish, you should protect the shower cabin bottom with a cardboard protector before beginning the installation.

• Ensure that there is sufficient structural support behind the shower wall to hold the weight of the shower door. If there is insufficient enough support, then reinforce the shower walls with wooden studs
  prior to shower door installation. [SEE FIG. 1] ****

Installation Steps

NOTE: Prior to any installation, mark lines on the floor and wall for proper dry fit. Proper planning is imperative for proper installation. The measurements of 70 7/16′ or 62 3/8″ should just be used as a guide.

A. Installing the structural rail

1. Place the door panel (#5) into the shower first making sure to rest the glass in a manner that the glass or base/tub does not incur damage.

2. Place the structural rail into the cabin Make sure that the wall mount brackets (#1) are assembled on the rail before doing this.
   If the rail is too long, cut it 5/8″ – 3/4′ shorter than the cabin opening with a hacksaw to fit properly in the opening.
   Make sure to cut the rail on the shower door side only. This is the end with no fixed panel holders.

3. Note that the openings on structural rail for the fixed panel holders have an elliptical shape. This allows the holder screws inside the rail to move to the left and right. This will help in accommodating an uneven wall condition. Once you find the right position for the fixed panel (#4) tighten the alien key and cover to secure the fixed panel onto the rail

4. Attach seal strip (#12) to the fixed panel on the side that sits against the wall. Start at the bottom and work your way up, using the heel of your hand to firmly press the seal strip onto the glass.

5. Position the fixed panel bottom clip (#7) approximately 3 inches from the wall. Position the door bottom guide (#8) on the floor making sure the edge of the fixed panel ends at the middle portion of the bottom guide

6. Position the fixed panel (#4) correctly using a level. Mark the circumference location of the wall mount brackets (#1) on the wall. Mark the fixed panel bottom clip (#7) location and bottom door guide (#8) on the floor. I

Installing the fixed panel

1.  Remove the fixed panel (#4) and structural rail (#11) assembly from the shower door opening. Find the center of the marked circumference on the wall
2. Mark holes on the wall for the mounting screws. Drill holes and place plastic anchors (#17) inside them. Preferred method of installation negates anchors and has the installation going right into studs.
3. Remove the wall mount bracket assembly (#1) from 1ha structural rail assembly. Unthraad the plate from the bracket assembly body. There is a 13mm adjustment built into the plates for minor modifications.
4. Place plates to the wall over the plastic anchors. Screw plates in with 1 5/8″ screws (#15). /
5. Place the fixed panel bottom clip (#7) and the door bottom guide (#8) to the marked locations on the floor. Drill the holes and place the plastic anchors (#16) inside them. Screw in the fixed panel bottom clip and the door bottom guide to the floor with 1 1/8″ screws (#18). Note for applications where screws are not applicable the use of epoxy is highly recommended
6. Place bracket body back on the rail.
7. Place the fixed panel with the structural rail assembly in its proper position and thread the bracket body to the plates.
8. Tighten the hex screws on the brackets with the hex key (supplied).
9. Check that the structural rail is level. If the rail is not level and not at the correct height, then remove the rail and use the built-in adjustments in the plates to modify as needed.

Installing the fixed panel

1. Remove the rollers (#3) from the box, note that these are fully assembled. Carefully unthread the cap with a small head alien key. You will see a big hex screw, this is referred to as the roller height adjustment screw.
2. Use the provided alien key to unscrew the adjustment screw and dismantle the roller. Place the screw through door panel top holes and attach the two top rollers onto the door panel (#5).
3. Attach seal strip (#12) to the door panel on the side that closes to the wall. Start at the bottom and work your way up, using the heel of your hand to firmly press the seal strip onto the glass./
4.  Place the two top rollers and the door panel (#5) assembly onto the structural rail (#11). Note that the rollers have a built-in mechanism that will provide adjustment for walls that are not 100% perpendicular to the floor. If necessary, loosen the adjustment screw and rotate the individual roller.
5. Verify that the bottom of the door rests in the back notch of the bottom door guide (#8)
6. Screw the two bottom rollers (#3) to the door panel as illustrated in step C2.
7. Adjust the stoppers’ (#10) position on the structural rail and tighten the hex screws. Position the stoppers in a spot on the structural rail that will avoid the handle from hitting the glass when the door is in an open position.

Installing threshold

1. Place the threshold (#9) into the bottom door guide (#8). Note that the end of the threshold should go halfway inside the bottom door guide and rest against the fixed panel (#4). If the threshold is too long, cut it with the hacksaw until it fits the opening.
   In case the threshold is cut too short, use the threshold extension clip (#14) to extend the threshold accordingly.

2. Remove the threshold. Apply silicone to the underside of the threshold. Place the threshold back onto its shower base around the inside and outside of the shower base. Remove any excess silicone from the threshold

Installing the handle

1. Unscrew the handle holders from the handle assembly (#6).
2. Place the handle to the position on the door. Place plastic washers (supplied) on each side of the door.
3. Tighten the handle nuts from inside the shower.

F. Installing the water seal strip

1. Attach the seal strip (#13) to the door and the fixed panel, respectively. Start at the bottom and work your way up, using the heel of your hand to firmly press the seal strip onto the glass.
2. Trim the flange on the seal strips so that there is enough clearance for the door to roll without the seal strips hitting against the rollers or door stopper

G. Applying the silicone

1. Apply clear silicone caulking along the wall and floor of the shower enclosure interior and along the fixed panel and threshold of the shower enclosure interior

Roller adjustments to accommodate out of square openings

NOTE
There is a 3/8″ adjustment in the roller to use in the case that your walls are not plumb and level. Using an alien key, you will be able to adjust the roller to accommodate for the variance

• Loosen the hex screw to allow for movement. Then place the alien key in the small hex hole as shown and roll it to the right or left to make the adjustment. [See Fig.1]
• Fig. 1A displays the 3 different positions.
• If your walls are plumb and level, follow the configuration in Fig. 2.
• If your wall is off on the top, the rollers should be adjusted as shown in Fig. 3.
• If your wall is off on the bottom, the rollers should be adjusted as shown in Fig. 4.
