PREPARATION STEPS TO FOLLOW BEFORE INSTALLATION
1.
Remove the plastic layer from the base border (if needed). Do NOT remove the plastic layer off the plastic
platform of the base.
2.
Properly apply silicone to the wall and base joints.
3.
Make sure to read corresponding base instructions carefully prior to install on the Vigo Brand Shower Door
System. Failure to do so can cause water leakage and bodily harm.
IMPORTANT
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 support, then reinforce the shower walls with wooden studs prior to shower door
installation. [SEE FIG.3]
1.
Remove the aluminum cover from the front piece of the bottom rail by sliding it out.
2.
Remove top of the corner joint. Slide the bottom corner joint (2 pieces) (#11) onto the bottom rail (3 pieces)
(#9). [SEE FIG.3]
3.
Align the bottom rail and corner joint to the desired position on the shower base. Make sure the A and B
distances are correct (see page 3 for A and B distances). Prior to drilling, dry fit everything making sure
that everything is straight, level and plum. Pre-drill for sinkers and
tap sinkers. Cut excess sinker off with hacksaw or sharp blade. Dip screws in silicone. [SEE
FIG.2A] Screw corner joints and rails down. Silicone tops of screws.
4.
Seal the bottom rail with clear silicone caulk and center its sides to the base.
5.
Clip the aluminum cover to the front piece of the bottom rail making sure the lower side faces the inside of
the shower. [SEE FIG.3A]

Silicone the underneath portion of the corner joint caps and put them on the corner joints. [SEE FIG.3A]
