5. PREPARATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION 

The Shower Receptor is packaged in a single carton and 

the Curved Glass Profile Enclosure is packaged in two 

cartons. The cartons will fit through any standard door. Do 

not remove the units from cartons until ready to install 

them. 

If units must be stored outdoors before installation, 

protect them from the elements. 

Place a clean protective covering such as a drop cloth in 

the shower receptor to prevent damage during 

installation. 

Ensure the installation area is clean and free of all debris. 

If remodeling, remove all finished wall material to expose 

framing, and remove all floor coverings to expose 

subfloor. 

Construct framing that is square vertically and 

horizontally in accordance with dimensions illustrated in 

Fig. #5. These dimensions are critical for proper 

installation. Construct recess and plumbing accurately. 

Walls that do not meet these requirements or are not 

plumb will prohibit proper installation of the shower unit. 

NOTE: A variety of installations are possible. 

Illustrations depict suggested framing only. 

If grab bars are to be installed, provide backing in framing. 

If a firewall is required, roughing-in dimensions will have 

to increase according to the thickness of the firewall 

material. 

If installing this unit to a masonry wall, make provisions for 

plumbing connections. Construct a separate frame wall a 

minimum of 6” from masonry wall. 

NOTE: Structural ceiling support must be provided for 

center jambs. Ceiling mounting plates must be securely 

fastened to framing members. Hollow wall anchors will not 

provide adequate support for door assembly.

Install rough plumbing. Locate drain line and hot and cold 

supply lines for shower and fittings used. Follow the 

manufacturer’s installation instructions for proper installation. 

If possible, provide an access at the back of the plumbing 

wall in the event that servicing the supply and waste piping 

is necessary. 

Install a 2” drain pipe to extend 3/8” above the sub-floor 

or slab. A pocket is required in slab construction to 

accommodate the drain fitting. 

6. INSTALLATION 

INSTALL RECEPTOR 

Install drain fitting (K-9132 is recommended) to drain 

outlet of receptor in accordance with instructions supplied 

with drain fitting. 

Place receptor in framing. Ensure receptor is level. If 

shimming is required to level, place shims under wood 

block feet on underside of receptor. Ensure all wood block 

feet are supported when receptor is leveled.

After receptor is positioned snugly, install drain per drain 

manufacturers installation instructions. Use a non-hardening 

mastic sealant to achieve a watertight seal. 

Other installation methods are possible. For gasket 

connection of this drain to 2” iron or other PVC materials, 

consult Fernco Inc., 300 S. Dayton St., Davison, MI 48423 

[Phone: 1-800-521-1283] about their PSD 200 shower 

drain connector or other suitable gasket. 

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. If 

watertight seal of drain is not achieved, receptor 

bottom and sub-floor may be damaged. 

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Holes 

drilled in following steps must be countersunk to 

avoid cracking receptor surface layer when receptor 

flange is screwed in place. 

Using 1/8” diameter drill bit, drill holes in receptor flange 

at each wall stud location. Countersink holes. 

Install shims behind receptor flange in areas where flange 

is not flush against stud. 

Secure receptor flange to studs using screws (not 

supplied). 

Install 1/4” thick furring strips on all wall studs above 

receptor flange. Furring must be full width of double studs 

(3-1/2”) at outer ends of receptor.

Install Stud Mounting Jambs: Place center jamb base 

on receptor with holes in jamb base aligned with holes in 

receptor. Do not mount center jamb base at this time. 

Mark location of center hole in center jamb base onto 

receptor. 

Using carpenters square, mark a line from center jamb 

base hole location onto furring strip to locate centerline for 

stud mounting jamb. 

Using level or plumb line, extend mark up furring strip at 

least six feet. Ensure line is plumb, as line is used to align 

stud mounting jamb. 

Place wall jamb base flat on receptor against nailing 

flange and centered with centerline for stud mounting 

jamb. The wall jamb base will be used as a height gauge 

for installation of the stud mounting jamb.

Place stud mounting jamb on wall jamb base with 

chamfered side against furring strip. Plumb stud mounting 

jamb using holes and slots in jamb and centerline marked 

on furring strip. Check for plumb with level. Attach stud 

mounting jamb to studs using four #8 x 1-1/2” flat head 

screws. 

Remove wall jamb base. 

Repeat procedures accompanying Fig. #10 thru Fig. #13 

for other stud mounting jamb. 

With both stud mounting jambs secured in position, stop 

enclosure installation until finished wall (wallboard and 

tile, etc.) is completed. 

Install wallboard horizontally with factory edge (paper 

bound) 1/4” maximum above the top of receptor and 

extending at least to the next stud beyond unit. Seal 

wallboard to nailing flange. 

Mud, tape, and finish drywall. Seal area between paper 

bound edge of wallboard and unit with a water-resistant 

sealer after wall finish has been applied. 

For firewall installations, use fire-resistant wallboard 

between the framing and 1/2” gypsum wallboard. 

Apply a bead of silicone sealant to both sides of stud 

mounting jambs at finished wall edge.

Apply silicone sealant to factory-drilled center jamb screw 

holes on receptor. 

Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant under center jamb 

base, and install receptor using factory drilled holes and 

two 1-1/2” flat head screws. Apply silicone sealant over 

screw heads. 

Repeat above step, and install center jamb base at other 

receptor center jamb location using factory drilled holes. 

Locate appropriate left-hand or right-hand deflector plate 

against door side of striker center jamb base. Ensure 

deflector angle is toward inside of shower. 

Mark screw hole location. Remove deflector plate. 

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Hole drilled 

in following step must be countersunk to avoid 

cracking receptor surface layer when deflector plate 

is screwed in place. 

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Ensure 

countersink in following step is not deeper than 1/8” 

or a breakthrough of receptor surface layer may 

occur resulting in a loose fitting deflector plate. 

Centerpunch and drill receptor using 1/8” drill bit where 

previously marked. Countersink hole using 3/16” 

countersink. Do not countersink deeper than 1/8”. 

Apply silicone sealant to hole and underside of deflector 

plate and install using 1-1/2” flat head screw. 

Determine if shower door will hinge from left or right hand 

side. 

NOTE: For purposes of these instructions, shower door 

is considered hinging from right hand side. See Fig. #1 . 

Insert lower hinge pivot pin into lower hinge pivot plate 

from below.

template. 

Place lower hinge pivot plate in relative mounting location 

against pivot center jamb base. 

Place template in slots of center jamb base and adjust 

lower hinge pin plate until hinge pin is exactly in “V” of 

template. 

Mark mounting hole locations of lower hinge pin plate onto 

receptor. 

NOTE: This ensures centerline of door pivot is aligned 

with stud mounting jamb. These markings are critical for 

proper door function.

Position the bottom outside hinge plate on the glass door 

to determine the proper installation location of the 

deflector assembly. 

Apply clear silicone sealant inside the deflector channel, 

position the deflector channel against the hinge plate, and 

press firmly onto the bottom of the door. Remove any 

excess sealant immediately. 

DO NOT trim away the extra deflector material from the 

hinge pivot side of the door at this time. 

At the door opening end of the deflector assembly, trim off 

the extra length of deflector strip flush with the end of the 

deflector channel. 

Assemble the hinge, gaskets, and inside backing plates 

to the glass door with four 1/4-20 x 5/8” flat head socket 

screws included. 

When assembling the bottom inside backing plate, BE 

SURE the hinge plate clamps the extra length of the 

deflector. 

Slide the spacer into the handle hole in the door. 

Assemble the door handle to the glass door, installing the 

washers between the handles and glass. Lubricate the 

washers with glass cleaner to prevent them from 

bunching up during the installation of the handles.
