This document provides an instruction manual for a Hinge Door, specifically models KL/TL. It covers pre-installation checks, installation steps, sealing, spare parts, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
The device is a hinge door designed for shower enclosures, intended for installation in alcove settings. It provides a barrier for a shower area, with the door opening outwards. The manual details the process of fitting the wall profiles, hinges, door glass, and seals to create a complete shower enclosure.
The manual highlights variations in glass thickness, specifically 8mm and 10mm products, which affect the number and type of gaskets used during hinge assembly. For 8mm products, two gaskets (one thick, one thin) are used per side of the glass, while for 10mm products, one thicker gasket is used per side. The wall profiles also differ, with one having an 8mm channel and the other a 10mm channel, requiring the 10mm profile to be fitted where the door closes.
The hinge fixing screws require tightening to 10N/m using a torque wrench. The gap between the door glass and the seal should be approximately 3mm. The "V" groove on the seal carrier profile must be facing the inside of the shower and should not be visible once installed to ensure proper sealing.
Alcove size specifications (minimum and maximum) are provided for different enclosure codes:
The product is designed for outward opening only once the replacement back plate is fitted.
The installation process requires two people for safe and efficient assembly, particularly when handling the door glass and fitting the hinges. The manual emphasizes the importance of using a spirit level to ensure all components are perfectly vertical and the shower tray is level. Masking tape is recommended to protect tiles during drilling and to aid in marking out positions for wall profiles and hinges.
For products with a printed face, it is crucial to ensure the printed face is fitted to the outside of the shower. The seal carrier profile has a small "V" groove that must face the inside of the shower.
The manual details two hinge position scenarios:
Red door setting blocks are used to support the door assembly during installation. "T" shaped spacers are included to help with out-of-true walls.
Sealing is a critical step, with specific instructions to apply silicon to the base and inside of the wall to dam joint, around the top and sides of various joints, and horizontally on the outside where the enclosure meets the tray/wetroom floor. Crucially, sealing along the base on the inside is prohibited, as this can lead to leakage. A 24-hour curing period for the sealant is required before using the enclosure.
The manual provides clear guidelines for maintaining the product to ensure its longevity and appearance.
Don'ts for Maintenance:
The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues like leaking, enclosure alignment on the tray, and incorrect door operation or alignment, offering solutions such as checking seals, ensuring vertical alignment of components, and verifying tray levelness.
