The OVE Toledo 48 is a frameless sliding shower door designed for modern bathrooms, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. It is available in two finishes: Satin Nickel (Item #3592197) and Matt Black (Item #3592199), allowing for customization to match various bathroom decors.

Function Description:

The Toledo 48 shower door system consists of two glass panels, one fixed and one sliding, which operate on a top support bar. The sliding door features a soft-close mechanism, ensuring smooth, quiet, and controlled opening and closing, which enhances user experience and prevents slamming. The design is reversible, meaning it can be installed for either a left-hand or right-hand door opening, providing flexibility to adapt to different bathroom layouts. The system includes a decorative track that conceals the mounting hardware, contributing to a clean and minimalist look. The door also incorporates vertical seals to prevent water leakage, ensuring a dry bathroom floor.

Important Technical Specifications:

Dimensions:
- Shower Height (A): 78 3/4 inches [2000 mm]
- Shower Width (B - Minimum without cutting the bar): 48 inches [1219 mm]. This is the minimum width; the support bar can be trimmed for wider openings up to a certain extent.
- Door Panel Width (C): 24 15/16 inches [633 mm]
- Door Opening (D): 20 15/16 inches [532 mm]
- Distance between Handle Holes (E): 15 3/4 inches [400 mm]
Material: Tempered glass panels, metal support bar, and hardware. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces for safety in case of breakage.
Hardware Finishes: Satin Nickel and Matt Black.
Weight Capacity: The fixed glass panels and support bolts are designed to withstand up to 250 lbin (28 Nm) of torque, indicating robust construction.
Wall Requirements: The installation requires a level floor and walls capable of supporting the weight of the unit and an occupant. It is crucial to ensure that there are studs behind the drywall for secure anchoring of the support bar. If studs are not present, wall anchors must be used.
Installation Clearance: A minimum shower width of 48 inches is required without cutting the support bar. If the shower opening is smaller than 48 inches, the support bar (E) and decorative track (H) will need to be trimmed. The maximum trimming allowed for the support bar is L = D - 3/16" (L = D - 5mm), and for the decorative track, it is L = D - 3/16" (L = D - 5mm). This ensures adequate space for the door to operate smoothly.
Soft-Close Mechanism: The system includes two soft-close mechanisms (pre-installed) that ensure a gentle and controlled closing of the sliding door. These mechanisms are adjustable to fine-tune the closing action.

Usage Features:

Reversible Installation: The shower door can be installed for either a left-hand or right-hand opening, as illustrated in the manual (Option A for right-hand opening, Option B for left-hand opening). This adaptability is a significant advantage for various bathroom layouts.
Smooth Sliding Operation: The door glides on rollers along the top support bar, providing effortless movement. The soft-close mechanisms further enhance this by preventing abrupt closures.
Leak Prevention: The design incorporates a door bottom seal strip (J) and glass panel vertical seal strips (N and K) to effectively prevent water from escaping the shower enclosure, maintaining a dry and safe bathroom environment.
Adjustable Leveling: The glass panel can be leveled and adjusted after installation to ensure proper alignment and seal. This is achieved by adjusting the rollers (G) on the support bar (E), allowing for fine-tuning of the door's height and inclination. The manual provides detailed instructions for adjusting the rollers to achieve a perfect fit and seal.
Handle: The door includes a handle (I) for easy opening and closing.
Decorative Covers: The support bar decorative covers (O) and decorative caps (L) conceal the mounting hardware, contributing to the shower's sleek and modern appearance.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Cleaning: For daily maintenance, the manufacturer recommends using a wet cloth and a soft liquid cleaner. Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, chlorine, strong bleach, metallic brushes, or other objects that can scratch or tarnish surfaces should be avoided.
Hardware Inspection: It is recommended to check the support bolts every 4 months and re-tighten them if necessary to ensure the stability and safety of the glass panels. The support bolts can withstand up to 250 lbin (28 Nm) of torque.
Silicone Application: After installation, a clear silicone water sealant should be applied around the outside perimeter of any fixed shower components to prevent leaks. It is crucial to allow 24 hours for the silicone to dry completely before using the shower. Improper application or insufficient drying time can lead to leaks.
Soft-Close Mechanism Reset: The manual includes a "Mechanism reset tool" (AA) in the supplied hardware list. This tool is used to reset the soft-close mechanism if needed, ensuring its continued smooth operation.
Long-Term Care: Periodically, check the glass for fit and finish to ensure that no components have come loose since installation. This proactive approach helps maintain the shower's integrity and performance over time.

Safety Information:

The manual emphasizes several safety precautions:

Always wear safety glasses and gloves during handling and installation.
Read and follow all installation steps carefully.
Inspect all contents and glass for damage before installation.
Exercise extreme caution when handling tempered glass, as it can shatter if it comes into contact with a hard surface or is improperly handled. Tempered glass breaks into small, blunt pieces, not sharp fragments.
Do not cut or modify the tempered glass.
Ensure the shower is installed on a level floor capable of supporting the unit's weight and an occupant.
Consult local building codes and compliance standards before installation.
Keep the installation manual for future reference.

The OVE Toledo 48 shower door combines elegant design with practical features like a soft-close mechanism, reversible installation, and effective leak prevention, making it a sophisticated and functional addition to any bathroom. Regular maintenance ensures its longevity and continued performance.
