Installation Overview: Locate the height of the track, install the track, install the fixed panel and install the door. Then you have to take it all apart and make sure nothing will slip by using the epoxy. The
fixed
panel
sits
in
a
U-channel
at
the
bottom.
It
could
also
be
held
by
clips
of
your
choosing.
There
is
nothing
on
the
sides
of
the
fixed
panel.
The
top
is
held
by
the
attachment
to
the
track
and
the
track
is
fastened
to
the
wall. The height of the track from curb to centerline of the track, when using Regular Direct Rollers, is the Nominal Height minus 3 3/8". Location of track relative to Curb: The system is about 3 1/2" wide with 1/2" glass and the track is basically in the middle between the two pieces of glass. So the track would be mounted in the middle of the curb at the appropriate height. See
the
Cutting
Instructions. |
 Exploding
Glass:
Tempered
Glass
is
very
strong
but
the
edges
are
sensitive.
Never
let
the
edges
of
the
glass
touch
the
tile.
Always
set
the
glass
on
wood
or
rubber
blocks.
If
the
glass
ever
even
touches
the
tile,
the
glass
may
get
chipped,
but
even
worse,
it
may
explode.
That
is
one
of
the
major
differences
between
glass
and
wood.
Wood
seldom
explodes.
Sometimes
you
can
bang
on
glass
with
a
sledge
hammer
and
it
won't
break
or
throw
it
off
the
truck
onto
concrete.
Other
times
it
seems
to
break
in
your
hands.
People
will
swear
they
didn't
hit
anything
but
I've
noticed
the
glass
seems
to
only
explode
when
they
are
going
through
a
doorway.
To
avoid
exploding
glass
you
must
never
let
the
glass
touch
the
tile.
Duck
tape
on
the
bottom
corners
will
help.
When
setting
the
glass
into
the
opening,
it
really
helps
to
have
one
person
with
a
suction
cup
on
the
outside
and
another
person
on
the
inside
guiding
the
bottom
of
the
door.
Use
the
wooden
shims
when
setting
the
glass
in
the
opening.NOTE:
If
you
have
glass
tiles,
most
likely
you
will
not
be
able
to
drill
holes
or
mount
anything
on
the
glass
tiles
without
breaking
them.
You
should
replace
the
tile
that
holds
the
track
with
a
sufficiently
strong
ceramic
tile. |

Mounting the Track: Measure up from the center of the curb. Mark a hole 3 3/8" below the nominal height of the system. Drill a 1/4" hole in the tile on each side and insert plastic anchor with hammer. Don't break the tile with the hammer. Cut off the part of the anchor that will not go in using a chisel and hammer. Attach the base plate to the End-Of-Trak-Wall-Mount-Hangers to this screw, centering them as much as possible. Slide the End-Of-Track-Wall-Mount-Hanger Housing over the end of the track. Hold the track in position and slide the housing over the base plate. Tighten set screws. If the YM-ZG-FA barrel won't slide onto the track as show at right then you may need to cut another 7/16" off the track length. It would be best to cut 1/4" off both ends so that you gain adjustment in the hole locations. Check both YM-ZG-FA's as only one needs to slide over. |

NEVER LET THE GLASS TOUCH THE TILE. Always set it on short 2x4's, never set it on cement or tile. It might explode. See warnings on this page. Fixed Panel: Fasten YM-GD-03 Brackets to track. Set U-Channel on curb. Set Fixed panel in U-Channel. Lean fixed panel up to the brackets and fasten the fixed panel in place. After everything is positioned correctly, then you will take the fixed panel back off and silicone under the U-Channel and run a small bead on the inside leg of the U-Channel to seal the glass. You can also put the glass in dry and run a small bead along the edge between glass and U-Channel and then wipe off the excess with a razor blade. |
NEVER let the glass touch the tile. |
| Door:
Fasten
top
rollers
to
door,
not
the
lower
rollers.
Set
door
on
the
track.
Adjust
the
door
height
with
the
rollers
to
get
3/8"
between
bottom
edge
of
door
and
the
curb.
There are different plastic inserts in the LS107 for different thicknesses of glass. Mark the location for the Bottom Floor Guide: LS107BS, which goes next to the fixed panel at the overlap between the door and fixed panel. Mark the position the bottom guide where it looks good and door is vertical. Take the door off. And drill the holes for the bottom guide. The screws are only 1" long so you don't need to drill much more than that. Mount the bottom guide with plastic anchors and a bit of silicone to keep water out of the holes. |

EPOXY: The End of Track Wall Mount Bracket base Plate tends to slip down on the single mounting screw. So once you have the height determined (gap at bottom of door has to be big enough to slide easily through bottom guide) take it all apart and mix up the Epoxy Putty and push some in the slotted hole above the screw head on both ends of the track. Set Door back on track and install the lower rollers. The EPCO Handle has to be glued in place with silicone. Modern silicone takes at least two days to dry in this kind of setting. So the blue tape has to stay on the door for two days. The Modified P990 is applied above the bottom guide. This directs the water back into the shower. If your curb is sloped to the inside, then this should be all the water proofing you need on the curb. BULB SEAL BUMPER: Using the red roll of clear high bond double face tape, apply the bulb seal to the edges of the door. Wash the glass and vinyl bulb seal with alcohol first. The bulb seal acts as a bumper for the glass against the tile. If I forgot something, please call Wilson glass 510-843-3334 ext 202. We'd really like to get a picture of your door. dave@wilsonglass.com |
