Place the two wall jambs [E] into the ends of the curb
assembly [A]. Plumb the jambs and mark the hole locations
on the wall. Masking tape may be used to hold the curb in
place during this operation. Remove all parts and drill the
walls for mounting hardware.
For tile or marble walls, drill six 3/16" diameter holes and
insert the plastic wall anchors [F]. Attachments to fiberglass
or acrylic units can be made in two ways. If a reinforcement
is built into the wall of the unit, drill six 1/8" diameter holes to
install mounting screws directly into the reinforcement. If
walls are not reinforced, drill 3/16" holes and install plastic
wall anchors or Molly bolts (Molly bolts not supplied by
A
LUMAX ).

Wipe the shower walls and sill, curb assembly [A]
and wall jambs [E] with a clean, dry cloth to remove any
dust or debris. Apply a 1/4" bead of caulk along the inside
of both of the pencil lines marked in Step #3. Carefully
replace the curb assembly in the exact position marked.
Caulk the inside of the curb ends where they meet the
wall. Caulk generously around the anchor plates [B],
screws [C], and the insides of the mitered joints.
Replace both wall jambs and attach to the walls with six
#8 x 1 1/2" truss head screws [G].

NOTE: Panels with obscure or textured glass should be
installed with the rough surface of the glass to the exterior of the
unit. Deco or etched glass panels should be installed with the
patterned surface to the interior.
Snap one of the S PEED S TALL side panels [H] into the curb [A]
next to the wall jamb [E]. Slide the panel over into the wall jamb.
Press a 135° post [J] into the curb. Slide the side panel across
until it is centered between the wall jamb and post. Use masking
tape to hold the post in position temporarily.
Repeat for the other side panel and 135° post.
NOTE: Apply several small dabs of caulk to both sides of the
panel rails (see arrows) before setting into place. This will help
prevent rattles caused by metal-to-metal contact.
