Do you have a question about the HMI TRU-FIT and is the answer not in the manual?
List of all components included in the TRU-FIT shower enclosure kit, with item numbers and descriptions.
Key notes on silicone curing, required tools for installation, and general information for preparation.
Read instructions thoroughly, use two people, contact dealer for questions, and follow all instructions carefully.
Verify wall stud installation, enclosure size, wall plumbness, and sill level for proper fit and function.
Allow 72 hours for silicone cure, avoid harsh cleaners, and wipe down enclosure after each use.
Tempered glass can shatter; handle with extreme care to prevent injury or damage.
Determine and mark the center line of the shower base for accurate alignment of the wall jamb.
Position the Wall Jamb (A) aligning its center with the base's center line, ensuring it sits on the base.
Ensure the Wall Jamb (A) is level before marking for drilling pilot holes.
Mark holes for drilling on the Wall Jamb (A), considering wall support and using appropriate drill bits.
Apply silicone to drilled holes, insert Plastic Anchors (E) if needed, and tap gently with a hammer.
Secure the Wall Jamb (A) to the wall using #10 x 2" Wall Jamb Screws (F).
Mount the Curb Channel (D) and Wall Channel (C) to the base and wall, using tape for temporary securing.
Mark and drill holes for the Wall Channel (C), using anchors and appropriate drill bits as needed.
Insert anchors if needed, apply silicone, and secure the Wall Channel (C) to the wall with #8 x 2" Screws (K).
Remove tape from Curb Channel (D) and slide it out from under the Wall Channel (C).
Place Glass Blocks (Q) to protect the Glass Panel (P) for spacing adjustment; panel will be removed later.
Apply a bead of silicone to the ribbed edge of the Wall Jamb (A) for sealing.
With two people, set Glass Door (O) on block and slide Hinge Jamb (B) over Wall Jamb (A) until compressed.
Adjust Door (O) and Panel (P) for a uniform 1/8" gap, ensuring levelness and correct Hinge Jamb (B) placement.
Drill three pilot holes through the Wall Jamb (A) using a 1/8” drill bit into the pre-drilled holes on the Hinge Jamb (B).
Install three #8 x 3/4" Self Tapping Screws (L) into the pilot holes to secure the Hinge Jamb (B).
Double-check the 1/8" gap between the door and panel glass, making adjustments to the Glass Panel (P) if necessary.
Measure from the wall to the edge of the panel glass to determine the required length for the Curb Channel (D).
Mark the measured length on the Curb Channel (D) and proceed to cut it to size.
Drill pilot holes in Curb Channel (D) where it meets the Wall Channel (C), add silicone, and secure with #8 x 2" Screws (K).
Place Glass Blocks (Q) in Curb Channel (D), add silicone to Wall Channel (C), and insert Glass Panel (P) into channels.
Verify Glass Panel (P) height matches the Door (O) and the 1/8" gap is uniform.
Apply silicone to the inside troughs of Wall Channel (C) and Curb Channel (D) for sealing the Glass Panel (P).
Install two extra #8 x 3/4" Screws (L) on the outside for extra support, drilling pilot holes through Hinge Jamb (B) and Wall Jamb (A).
Apply silicone beads where the Wall Jamb (A) meets the wall on both sides for final sealing.
Mark, cut, and install the Adjustable Post Cap (N) over the Wall Jamb (A) and Hinge Jamb (B) tops with silicone.
Loosen set screws on the C-Pull (F) handle and separate it, ensuring no metal touches the glass.
Place handle through door glass, ensuring washers touch glass, tighten screws gently, and secure other side of handle.
Apply Bottom Sweep (L), Bulb Seal (N), and Angle Seal (M) for water prevention and door swing modification.
Address issues with achieving the 1/8" gap due to wall plumbness or incorrect unit sizing.
Resolve hinge jamb movement by installing optional set screws if noticing looseness during operation.
Contact local dealer first, then distribution center, or HMI directly with all relevant information for claims.
