ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
TWO-PART BATHTUB ENCLOSURE
The product is for mounting in a totally finished (tiled, plumbed, etc.) bathroom and fitted bathtub. For best results, the product
must only be fitted to a strong and rigid, solid bathroom wall that is vertical and adjacent walls should be square to each other.
WARNING: when manipulating the glass panels, always ensure that some soft material is placed under the bottom edge, for
protection.
ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE:
1. Un-pack and prepare individual glass components according to the scheme for left (and right) variants. The glass for the fixed
wall with a thickness of 8 mm at the wall has two fixing holes and on the other side there are 4 holes for door hinges. The door glass
has 2 holes for hinges and on the other side there is 1 hole for the handle halfway up the height of the door. Marks on the glass must
be readable when viewed from the outside.
2. Fit the long plastic sealing profile to the vertical edge of the fixed glass wall on the side where it will contact the wall. For easier
manipulation, dampen the seal with a little soapy water. (Item 1). Onto the opposite edge of the fixed glass wall, fit the long soft
edged door seal. (Item 2)
3. Fit to the fixed glass wall, the dismantled halves of the hinges, the lower part of the hinges, with the side for the screw on the
inner side of the glass. Repeat with the upper hinge parts onto the folding door. Ensure that protection pieces are in place. Never fit
hinges directly metal to glass without the protection pieces.
4. On to the wall edge of the fixed glass wall, mount the wall brackets, angled side on the inner side, flat side on the outer side and
lightly tighten. The final tightening force after all adjustments are made should be 4-5 Nm torque.
5. According to the diagram 5, measure and mark points for drilling from the top of the bathtub up for the centre of the bracket
holes. The centres of the mounting brackets should be 60 mm from the outer edge of the bathtub. Insert the temporary white
moulded plastic parts under the glass wall so that it will have a 2 - 3mm space underneath for later filling. Ensure correct
measurements are maintained and that measurement points are vertical by a spirit level.
6. Drill 2 holes 8 mm dia. to depth of 60 mm. Fit the special 'Mungo' plastic wall plugs.
Warning: Be careful to avoid electric, water and gas pipes hidden beneath plasterwork or tiling.
7. Washers and screws are included for fitting components to traditional walls of brick and plaster or cement. If other wall materials
are used, other full strength fitting components must be utilised in accordance with manufacturers advice.
8. Set fixed glass wall vertical, fit and tighten the two 5 x 60 mm screws. For setting level to the base, adjust the white moulded
plastic parts, as necessary.
9. Adjust the door so that it is level. The gap between the door glass and the fixed glass wall must be even and approximately 4 mm
when the door is in the closed position. The soft seal will fill this space. When the product is correctly adjusted, it should have the
top edges of the glass panels level with each other and horizontal.
10. In the case of uneven walls or tiling, it is possible to make compensation by using the flexible mounting washer part underneath
the relevant wall bracket. (Diagram 8). The brackets must be in one vertical line and the gap between the upper and lower part of
the hinge must be the same for both hinges. The final gap under the fixed wall should still be 2 - 3 mm. DOUBLE CHECK tightness
of all connections. Tightening torque of glass against brackets or hinges should be 4 - 5 Nm.
11. Ensure the sealing profile between the fixed glass wall and tiled wall is pushed hard in. On to the lower edge of the door, fit the
bottom door seal.
12. Using the Ravak transparent silicon putty, fill all seals from the external side of the vertical connections between the fixed glass
wall and the tiling. Discard the temporary plastic pieces and fill the horizontal gap underneath the fixed glass wall. Place a knob of
silicon on top of the bracket screws and press into place the stainless steel bracket covers with the flat face outermost. When set,
remove the protective foil.
