Function Description:

The Waverly 60 is a frameless sliding shower door system designed for alcove installations. It consists of a fixed glass panel and a sliding glass door, providing a modern and space-saving solution for shower enclosures. The system includes a support bar for structural integrity and various seal strips to prevent water leakage. The design allows for both right-door and left-door opening configurations, with instructions provided for mirroring the installation as needed.

Important Technical Specifications:

Shower Height (A): 76 inches.
Shower Width (B): Adjustable from 55 5/16 inches to 60 1/16 inches. This is the critical measurement for the required shower space.
Fixed Panel Width (C): 28 11/16 inches.
Door Panel Width (D): 31 1/4 inches.
Door Opening (E): 25 3/16 inches.
Distance between Handle Holes (F): 13 13/16 inches.
Support Bar Adjustability: The shower is designed to accommodate a 1 9/16 inch tolerance from the maximum width. The support bar can be cut to fit the shower, with a maximum cut of 3 1/8 inches. The calculation for cutting the bar is L = D - 7/8 inches, where L is the cut length and D is the finished surface opening.
Wall Plumb: Walls must be within 3/8 inch of plumb, and wall corners should meet at 90 degrees.
Shower Base/Tub Level: The tub or shower base must be level for proper installation.
Material: Tempered glass panels.
Hardware Finishes: Available in Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, and Brushed Gold for various components like wall tracks, fixed panels, support bar anchors, shower door stoppers, support bars, fixed panel brackets, door rollers, door anti-jump pegs, door handles, decorative tracks, and decorative caps. Seal strips are transparent or matte black.
Screw Types: ST5x30mm, ST4x20mm, ST4x12mm, ST5x35mm.
Wall Anchors: Ø8x30mm.
Drill Bit Sizes: Ø1/8 inch and Ø5/16 inch.
Allen Key Sizes: 2mm, 2.5mm, and 5mm.
Torque for Support Bolts: Up to 250 lbf*in (for fixed glass panels and door panels).

Usage Features:

Sliding Door Mechanism: The shower features a smooth-gliding door with rollers and a guide for easy opening and closing.
Adjustable Glass Panel Leveling: The eccentric mechanism of the door rollers allows for precise leveling of the glass panel after installation. This involves using smaller and larger Allen keys to adjust the roller's position, raising or lowering the glass as needed.
Anti-Jump Pegs: Included to prevent the door from jumping off the track.
Roller Stoppers: Positioned to prevent the door panel from hitting the wall when opening or closing.
Water Leakage Prevention: The manual strongly recommends installing the shower head on the door's side to reduce the risk of leaking. Various seal strips (bottom, vertical, short) are installed to ensure a watertight enclosure.
Installation Video Guide: An installation video is available on YouTube at https://tinyurl.com/yp8fzsww to assist with the setup process.

Maintenance Features:

Daily Cleaning: Use a wet cloth and a soft liquid cleaner.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners containing acetone, chlorine, strong bleach, scrapers, metallic brushes, or any products that can scratch or tarnish surfaces.
Bolt Tightness Check: Periodically check and re-tighten the support bolts (for fixed glass panels and door panels) every 4 months to ensure they remain secure. These bolts can withstand up to 250 lbf*in of torque.
Silicone Sealant: Apply clear silicone water sealant around the outside perimeter of any fixed shower components. Allow 24 hours for the silicone to dry and adhere properly to prevent leaks. Improper application can lead to water damage.
Warranty: The product comes with a limited warranty: 5 years for shower doors, acrylic surfaces (against blistering, cracking, chipping), and acrylic shell structure (against water loss); 1 year for shower hardware (handles, hinges, rubber support clips, metal support bars, wall tracks) against defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty is for the original retail purchaser and covers normal use. It does not cover damage from improper installation, lack of maintenance, exposure to corrosive products, alteration, abuse, or misuse, nor does it cover damage to finishes.
