ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Two-part shower door
The product is for mounting in a totally finished (tiled, plumbed, etc.) bathroom and fitted shower tray (if used). The constructional dimensions and/or shower
tray dimensions must be in strict accordance with the dimensions of the selected shower door or enclosure i.e. nominal 80, 90, 100, 110, or 120 cm. according to
type. 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 glass wall is 8 mm thick and
must be assembled with the maker's logo at the top and on the outer side. The fixed wall glass part has two holes at the edge for the wall fixing brackets whilst
the door side has 4 holes for the hinges. The door glass is 6 mm thick and has two holes for the hinges, at the side meeting the fixed wall glass, and 1 hole on the
opposite side near the middle of the edge, for the door handle. On this piece, the maker's logo can be at the top or the bottom but always readable from the outer
side.
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)
3. Onto the opposite edge of the fixed glass wall, fit the long soft edged door seal. (Item 2)
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. According to the diagram 6, measure and mark points for drilling from the top of the shower tray (or tiling) up for the centre of the bracket holes. The front face
of the fixed glass wall should sit 19 mm from the outer edge of the shower tray and the centres of the mounting brackets should be 55 mm from the outer edge of
the shower tray. 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.
7. Drill 2 holes 8 mm dia. to depth of 60 mm. Fit the special 'Mungo' plastic wall plugs. Onto the opposite side of the niche, again mark for four holes in
accordance with the diagram, 23 mm from the edge of the shower tray. Drill four holes 8 mm dia. and insert the four ordinary plastic wall plugs. Screw the
aluminium profile to the wall with four 3,5 x 50 mm screws and fit the magnetic strip/plastic profile onto the aluminium profile with the angle face pointing
outwards. (Picture 2 - 3). For easier manipulation, dampen the profile with a little soapy water.
Warning: Be careful to avoid electric, water and gas pipes hidden beneath plasterwork or tiling.
8. 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. Safe working load of Mungo wall plugs is 4,5 kN. For fastening the profile, use four
wall plugs.
9. 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.
10. Fit the magnetic seal profile to the door with the angle face pointing inward. (Picture 2 - 3). Fit the door onto the hinges. Fit the door handle with the correct
plastic sleeve in the hole of the door and plastic washers between the handles and the glass. Never fit metal directly to glass.
11. Adjust the door so that it is level. Check the contact of the magnet seals against each other ensuring they meet together correctly for the whole vertical
length.
12. 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.
13. If necessary, loosen the screws in the brackets of the fixed glass wall. The door can then be moved by 6 mm. The plastic with magnetic strip profile can also
be partially adjusted by up to 5 mm by moving it on the aluminium profile. Never adjust the opposite plastic with magnetic strip profile, which is attached to the
door.
14. When the product is correctly adjusted, it should have the top edges of the glass panels level with each other and horizontal. The edges of the door and fixed
wall panel must be level with the shower tray edge and the magnetic strips must make proper contact over the whole length of the strip. 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 14). 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 and under the glass door should be 32 - 33 mm.
DOUBLE CHECK tightness of all connections. Tightening torque of glass against brackets or hinges should be 4 - 5 Nm.
15. Ensure the sealing profile between the fixed glass wall and tiled wall is pushed hard in.
16. On to the lower edge of the door, use silicon putty to fit the small draining seal.
17. Use silicon putty to fit the threshold strip parallel with the door. The correct position is 9 mm from the outer edge of the glass.
18. 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 and
between the opposite wall tiling and the aluminium profile. Discard the temporary plastic pieces and fill the horizontal gap underneath the fixed glass wall. Fill
along the edges of the threshold strip. Fill along the edges of the small draining seal. 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.
