Total clearance height required is 91" (231.1cm) minimum: Whitecap receptor (if used) is 10" (25.4cm), Glassworks shower door is 72" (182.9cm), and steam dome is 9" (22.9cm).

NOTE: Sensor from steam unit will be mounted to bottom corner plate of steam dome. If routing of wire through finished wall is preferred, do so before installing finished wall.

MARK DRILLING LOCATIONS

Punch out hole centers in template and notch cutout, as indicated on template.

Place drill template on corner of shower enclosure against finished wall and level the template as illustrated. Template must be located flush to facing wall. Mark hole locations on finished wall. Put pencil mark in top corner.

Reverse template for opposite wall and align back corner of template with pencil mark and mark hole locations on that wall. Again flush rearward to corner.

Drill all holes 3/16" diameter.

For the four corner holes, counterbore only through the finish wall material to allow clearance for the 1/4" lag screws (5/16" diameter).

For all other hole locations, set shoulderless wall anchors into holes.

INSTALL CORNER BRACKETS

Loosely mount corner bracket in one of the two following methods, depending on whether the recommended or alternate framing method was used. Do not tighten bolts yet.

FOR RECOMMENDED FRAMING: Use lag screws through four stainless steel washers to mount corner bracket (four holes).

FOR ALTERNATE FRAMING: Use lag screws through stainless steel washers in hole locations #2 and #3 as illustrated. Use a #8 screw and a #8 flat washer and a #1/4" stainless steel flat washer in hole locations #1 and #4.

INSTALL HEADERS

Header is supplied for an adjustment range per wall jamb of 3/4" (2cm). End of header usually needs trimming.

Measure the X-dimension (#1 or #2), which is the adjustment made to the shower door wall jamb for plumb at top of wall jamb.

Subtract the X-dimension from the 3/4" (2cm) maximum allowable adjustment to get the Y-dimension to be trimmed from the header.

Trim end very carefully and squarely. Use miter box, fine tooth hacksaw and file.

Repeat measurement process for opposite wall jamb and header.

Trim opposite end of header per new measurements.

Check header for fit on shower unit, and make adjustments as necessary.

From underside only of headers, remove facing from the two parallel strips of double-faced tape. Do not remove facing from the single strip of tape on the top of the header.

Press header around the perimeter of the system.
