DELAVIN Bypass Tub Shower Door Installation and Maintenance Guide
This guide provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your DELAVIN Bypass Tub Shower Door (Model B707B). Please read these instructions carefully before installation and retain them for future reference.
1. Product Overview
The DELAVIN Bypass Tub Shower Door is a semi-frameless, double-sliding door designed for bathtubs, offering a sleek and functional addition to your bathroom. It features 1/4 inch (6mm) ANSI certified clear tempered glass with an explosion-proof film for enhanced safety and durability. The matte black aluminum frame provides corrosion resistance and lasting stability. The dual-sliding design allows for flexible access and is particularly suitable for space-limited environments.
Key Features:
- Overall Dimensions: 59" W x 59" H.
- Adjustable Width: Can be adjusted between 56" and 59" by trimming the tracks.
- Dual-Sliding Design: Both glass panels glide smoothly for easy access and flexible installation.
- Durable Construction: High-quality aluminum frame with a reinforced top track to prevent deformation.
- Certified Tempered Glass: 1/4" (6mm) ANSI certified tempered glass with explosion-proof film.
- Collision-Proof Design: Buffer anti-crash corners on both sides reduce operational shock and ensure quieter closure.
- Reversible Installation: Can be installed with either left or right-hand opening preference.
2. Before Installation
Important: This product requires assembly. We recommend that two people perform the installation due to the weight of the shower door components. If possible, consider hiring a professional contractor for installation.
Pre-Installation Checks:
- Check Wall Plumbness: It is crucial to ensure that your walls are perfectly vertical (plumb). Use a level to check for any deviations. DELAVIN shower doors are designed for plumb walls. If your walls are out of plumb, we do not recommend purchasing or installing this product.
- Measure Your Space: Measure the width of your shower room after all finished wall materials (backerboard, tile, or acrylic walls) have been installed. The width of your shower room must be within the adjustable range of 56" to 59". The height of the door (59") must be lower than the height from the bathtub edge to the top of your desired installation point.
- Level Threshold: Ensure your bathtub or shower base is level. DELAVIN shower doors do not adjust for out-of-level threshold conditions.
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unpack all components and inspect them for any damage. This tub glass door is shipped in a highly durable, impact-tested package.
- Verify Components: Refer to the detailed installation guide included in the packaging to ensure all mounting parts are present.
- Schedule Installation: We strongly suggest scheduling your installation after the shower door has been delivered and inspected, to account for any unexpected delivery issues.
3. Installation Instructions
A detailed installation guide is included inside the product packaging. Please follow those instructions carefully. The general steps involve:
- Prepare the Area: Clear the installation area and ensure it is clean and dry.
- Measure and Mark: Precisely measure and mark the positions for the tracks and wall profiles according to the provided guide.
- Trim Tracks (if necessary): If your opening is less than 59 inches, trim the tracks to fit the desired width between 56 and 59 inches.
- Install Wall Profiles: Secure the wall profiles to the plumb walls.
- Install Top and Bottom Tracks: Attach the top and bottom tracks, ensuring they are level and properly aligned.
- Install Glass Panels: Carefully lift and insert the glass panels into the tracks. The dual-sliding design means both panels can be installed to slide.
- Install Rollers and Handles: Attach the rollers to the glass panels and install the handles.
- Install Anti-Crash Corners: Secure the buffer anti-crash corners to protect the glass panels.
- Seal (if required): Apply silicone sealant as instructed in the detailed guide to prevent water leakage.
4. Operation
Your DELAVIN Bypass Tub Shower Door features a dual-sliding design for convenient access. Both glass panels are designed to glide smoothly along the tracks. To open or close the door, gently push or pull the desired glass panel using the handles. The collision-proof design with buffer anti-crash corners helps absorb impact during operation, ensuring quieter and safer use.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your DELAVIN shower door looking new and functioning properly.
Daily Maintenance:
- Remove Water: After each use, remove water from the glass panels with a glass squeegee or a soft cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Regular Cleaning:
- Glass Panels: Clean the tempered glass surfaces with a soft cloth and a special glass cleaner (e.g., Rain-X).
- Frame: Wipe down the matte black aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (such as ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, or acidic cleaners) on any part of the shower door, as these can scratch the glass, damage the explosion-proof film, or corrode the finish of the aluminum frame.
6. Troubleshooting and FAQ
Q: My walls are not plumb. Can I still install this shower door?
A: No. DELAVIN shower doors are designed for plumb walls. If your walls are out of plumb, we do not recommend purchasing or installing this product. Installing on non-plumb walls can lead to improper fit, operational issues, and potential damage.
Q: Can I install the shower door to open from the left or right side?
A: Yes, all DELAVIN doors are reversible and can be installed to open from either the left or right side, depending on your preference and bathroom layout. The dual-sliding design means both panels move, offering maximum flexibility.
Q: What if I have missing parts?
A: Please locate your order number and model number (B707B), as well as the part description from your installation instruction sheet. Email our customer service at [email protected], and they will assist you with replacements.
Q: The glass panels are not sliding smoothly. What should I do?
A: Check the tracks for any debris or buildup and clean them thoroughly. Ensure the rollers are free of obstruction and properly seated in the tracks. If the issue persists, re-check the alignment of the tracks and wall profiles as per the installation guide.
Q: How do I clean water spots from the glass?
A: Use a glass squeegee after each use. For stubborn water spots, use a soft cloth with a specialized glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Q: Is the glass safe?
A: Yes, the DELAVIN tub shower door features 1/4" (6mm) ANSI certified tempered glass. Additionally, it is covered with an explosion-proof film to increase strength and prevent splinters from scattering in the unlikely event of breakage.
Q: Can I purchase replacement hardware or parts?
A: At present, DELAVIN hardware or any replacement parts are not available for individual sale. Please contact customer service if you have missing parts upon delivery.
Q: What if I have questions during installation?

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the DELAVIN Bypass Tub Shower Door? A: The shower door is adjustable from 56 to 60 inches in width and has a fixed height of 59 inches. The glass itself is 1/4 inch (6mm) thick. Q: Is professional installation recommended for this shower door? A: While some DIYers have successfully installed it, many customers found the instructions to be vague and challenging. If you lack experience with shower door installations or complex DIY projects, professional installation or assistance from someone with good construction sense is highly recommended. It's also a two-person job due to the weight of the glass panels. Q: What tools are needed for installation that are not included? A: You will likely need a carbide tile drill bit (1/4 inch is a common size, but a pack with varying sizes is suggested), and a miter saw, table saw, or grinder for cutting the top rail. A hacksaw can also work but may take longer. Q: Does the glass have any special protective coating? A: Yes, the 1/4-inch (6mm) ANSI-certified tempered glass is covered with an explosion-proof film for safety, preventing shards from scattering in case of breakage. Some users also noted a protective coating to prevent water etching. Q: Can the shower door be installed without drilling into the bathtub? A: Yes, the installation process is designed so that you do not need to drill holes directly into the bathtub. The mounting is primarily to the walls and the top/bottom rails. Q: What should I do if the packaging arrives damaged? A: While many customers reported excellent packaging, some instances of damaged outer boxes occurred. It's crucial to inspect all components immediately upon arrival for any damage, especially the glass. If significant damage is found, contact DELAVIN customer service or the retailer for a replacement or refund, as one customer reported a successful reorder after a shattered first shipment. Q: Are replacement parts available if small components break? A: Some customers noted that plastic bumpers and guides felt cheap and broke easily. It's advisable to contact DELAVIN customer service directly regarding the availability of replacement parts for these smaller components.Specifications
