4. Locate the header pieces and lay them out in the correct orientation on the floor. Depending on

the size of the shower there will be either 2 or 3 pieces. If your shower is not a square then one

piece will be longer than the other.Place the long piece on the longer side and the short piece on

the short side. (diagram 6)
5. Set the header center section onto the glass panels. (diagram 7)
6. Make sure the glass panels are still positioned correctly inside channels. Adjust the panels if

necessary. (diagram 7)
7. Dry fit the header side pieces and make sure the ends meet with the wall threshold caps

(not installed) and the glass panels fit in the channels correctly. (diagram 7) Depending

on how square the walls are, you may need to sand the edges of the side pieces to make them

fit properly. Leave a small gap between the center and side pieces to make a grout joint

that matches your preference.
8. After everything is lined up correctly, remove the header pieces.

D - Dry Fit Door/Header

The door can pivot with the hinges on the left or right side depending on your preference. We will

illustrate an installation with the hinges on the right side.

1. Have one person place the door in its open position by allowing the bottom hinge pin to slide

into the hole in the pan threshold. Make sure the bottom hinge has the spacer on the pin.

(diagram 8)

Be sure to keep the door in a vertical position. If the door is not kept
vertical, damage to the hinge, glass, or pan may occur.


2. Next, have the other person place the header center section into position. Align the hole in the

header center section with the hinge pin and align the glass channels with the glass panels.

(diagram 8)

3. Push the header center section all the way down onto the glass panels and then position the

door in its closed position.

4. Check for clearance between the door and glass panels and top and bottom of door.

(see next page, diagram 9) There should be minimum of 3/16” between the door and

panels. If you need to, push the panels into the wall thresholds to increase your gap.
