SILICONE ALONG
SHIM ONLY
Step 26 - Wait 24hr
1. Allow 24 hours before
using the shower.
1. On the outside, silicone around all three junctions with the wall and tray,
and also on the wallposts where the sill meets the uprights. On the inside, only
silicone along the two vertical junctions with the wall. Do not silicone seal
on the inside of unit (except where shown). Sealing the wall posts to
the tray on the inside can result in leakage problems - please note that, in use,
water can penetrate into the extrusions - this has no detrimental effect to the
product- however, this water must be allowed to drain out of the extrusions to
the inside.
Make sure silicone doesn’t come into contact with the Pivot Door Barrel,
highlighted blue below. As this is the mechanism by which the door pivots.
Silicone the water threshold and end caps, as shown.
2. Apply a small bead of sealant to top of corner seal to prevent ingress of dirt
between seal and glass panels, as shown.
When installed correctly, Kudos guarentee the enclosure will not leak under
normal showering use, ie. when the shower head is in it’s normal showering
position. N.B. - Using the shower head to clean/rinse down the enclosure
does not constitute normal showering use.

Before carrying out these last steps make sure you are happy with the
door function. Won’t be able to adjust after silicone is applied.
1. Apply a small bead of silicone to the Fixed Panel bottom edge and the Pivot
Base Cast, as shown and highlighted yellow below. This is where the threshold
strip end caps are going to t. Make sure silicone doesn’t come into contact with
the Pivot Door Barrel, highlighted blue below.
2. Congure the Threshold Strip (PD199) in either the Left or Right Conguration
depending on the handing of your door.
3. Silicone the end caps being used. Silicone a ‘pea’ sized amount, as shown.
4. Insert the end caps to the Threshold Extrusion ends and silicone the underside
of the threshold strip, as shown. Use a thin small amout of silicone.
5. Carefully add the siliconed strip into position, as shown. Make sure the end
caps touch up to the inline panel and the Door Pivot Barrel.
