IMPORTANT STEPS TO FOLLOW:
Use 100% silicone caulk - a quick-drying or fast-curing silicone is
recommended for the installation of hinge panel glass into the U-Channel
Apply enough silicone into the U-Channels to secure the panel glass
Fully tighten the L-Bars™ on the Hinge Panel Glass and the Buttress
Return Panel
DO NOT remove the spacers or shims from beneath the door
glass for at least 24 hours to allow the silicone to fully cure in the
U-Channel holding the hinge panel glass
The hinge panel glass for this model should not be adjusted
more than 1/4” within the U-Channel for an out-of-plumb wall
condition
◻ Refer to the product installation manual for more details
24
Hours
The hinge panel glass must be properly installed and secured to support the
weight of the door glass. Failure to follow these steps may result in the hinge
panel glass pulling out of the U-Channel.
!
100% Silicone
!
NOTE: Leave spacers or shims in place beneath the door glass for 24 hours.
If time allows, delay installing the door glass onto the hinge panel glass for
24 hours until the silicone securing the hinge panel glass has fully cured.

2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation
compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine
®
is not
responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns.
3. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please install all of the required plumbing and
drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for
all plumbing installation
4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and will be able
to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. Irregular installation
surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your
installation. Please, note that some adjustments and drilling might be necessary during the installation
process.
5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down directly
onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them. Always use a piece of wood
or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.
6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.
7. This model has 1/4” of adjustment for out-of-plumb wall conditions within the U-channels.
Verify that the walls are within this tolerance before proceeding with the installation.
8. This model requires that you drill into the threshold for proper installation. Contact the
manufacturer of the base or threshold material with any questions regarding the drilling of holes into
their product.
9. This model requires a minimum 1-1/2” of flat level threshold space for installation.
10. Professional installation recommended.
NOTE: This door is reversible for left or right-swing door installation. The left-swing door installation
is shown as an example throughout this manual. For the right-swing door installation, simply begin
on the opposite wall and reverse the orientation of the steps shown.
NOTE: DO NOT install the handle onto the door glass until instructed.
DO NOT lift the glass using the handle. This could result in damage to the glass and/or
serious personal injury. Always use an assistant or a professional grade glass suction cup
when handling heavy glass.

Right-hand buttress panel installation shown
1. Starting from the bottom of the back corner on
the wall opposite the buttress wall, measure to the
model size “W1” shown in TABLE A. Use a 4’ level
to draw a plumb line up the wall from that mark.
This line will represent the outside edge of the
U-Channel (#1). Use a carpenter’s square against
the wall to also mark the threshold.
(TABLE A) (Fig 1)
2. Hold the U-Channel (72”) (#01) plumb and
against the mark on the wall. Mark the drilling holes
on the wall through the pre-drilled holes in the
U-Channel (72”) (#01). (Fig 2)

TIP: Use a 13/16” shim beneath the door glass
to help align the Door Glass (#06) with the
hinges. This will protect the threshold and the
bottom of the door glass from damage and allow
proper spacing for the Sweep Vinyl (#08).
