This document is an installation guide for the ARYSTO by MERLYN Wall Hinge Door with Side Panel shower enclosure. It provides detailed instructions for assembly, adjustment, and sealing, along with a list of components and required tools.

Function Description:

The ARYSTO Wall Hinge Door with Side Panel is a shower enclosure designed to create a sealed showering area within a bathroom. It consists of a hinged glass door and a fixed glass side panel, supported by wall profiles, brackets, and a bottom track. The enclosure is designed for installation on a shower tray or a tiled wetroom floor, provided the surface is 100% level. The design allows for both left and right-hand configurations, with extra components supplied to accommodate this flexibility. The hinged door provides easy access, while the side panel completes the enclosure, ensuring water containment. The system incorporates various seals and profiles to prevent water leakage, and an angled stabilizing bar is included for structural integrity.

Important Technical Specifications:

Installation Surface: Requires a 100% level shower tray or tiled wetroom floor.
Wall Plugs: Supplied wall plugs (8x51mm and 6x30mm) are suitable for solid walls. Alternative fixings are required for hollow or stud partition walls.
Glass Thickness: Not explicitly stated, but the instructions emphasize careful handling of glass, suggesting it is a substantial component.
Hinge Step-in Distance: 49mm for hinged panel positions.
Inline Panel Bracket Step-in Distance: 64mm for inline panel positions.
Hinge Type: Features removable hinge plates for installation.
Stabilizing Bar: Angled Stabilising Bar (350mm) from wall to glass (Part No. SP08SCU12320).
Wall Profile Labels: "T" for top, "B" for bottom, ensuring correct orientation during installation.

Usage Features:

Reversible Handing: The door panel is reversible, allowing for left or right-hand opening configurations. This is accommodated by providing extra components in the fixing kit.
Adjustability: The system allows for adjustment of fixed and hinged panels to align doors and achieve the desired fit. This is done by loosening screws on wall-fixing plates/hinges and bolts clamping the bracket/hinge to the glass.
Water Sealing: Various water seals (upright water seal, side panel closing seal, bottom water seal) are integrated to ensure the enclosure is watertight. The closing seal (MGVC41) features a fin that must be on the inside.
Handle: A main handle (MGVC27) is provided for the door.
Top Rail: A top rail is included for structural support and to complete the aesthetic.
Stabilizing Bar: An angled stabilizing bar connects the wall to the glass, enhancing stability.
Easy Access: The hinged door design provides a clear opening for entry and exit.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Before sealing, all surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dried to ensure proper adhesion of the sealant.
Silicone Application: Silicone sealant is to be applied only to the outside of the enclosure, along vertical wall joints, the outside edge of the bottom profile, and any joins in the profile. This external application simplifies maintenance and prevents water trapping inside the enclosure.
Cover Caps: Cover caps are used to conceal fixing points and provide a neat finish. A dab of silicone is recommended at the back of the cover caps at each end of the tape for secure fitting.
DOP Availability: The Declaration of Performance (DOP) is available online, which can be useful for product information and compliance.
Glass Handling: The instructions emphasize extreme care when handling glass, wearing protective eyewear and clothing, and avoiding contact between glass edges and hard surfaces, which is crucial for preventing damage and ensuring longevity.
