Installation Notes
- Confirm the door is monolithic tempered glass within 8 mm (5/16″), 10 mm (3/8″).
- Mount the pivot hinge to the wall (or floor-side pivot, per the drawing) into a solid, plumb substrate.
- Drop the door onto the pivot spindle and set the vertical with the adjustment screws.
- Swing the door through the full arc and set closing tension so the door settles at the seal line.
- Tile over hollow drywall needs backing plates – the hinge carries the full door weight. Professional installation recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What glass thickness does the Z-3830 fit?
The Z-3830 is rated for 8 mm (5/16″), 10 mm (3/8″) monolithic tempered glass. Always use tempered (safety) glass – never annealed glass.
What is the Z-3830 made of?
The Z-3830’s hinge body is made of solid forged brass, with stainless steel return springs inside. Brass bodies take Zimmor’s full finish program, including PVD coatings for humid bathrooms.
Is the Z-3830 self-closing?
Yes. A spring inside the hinge starts closing the door from about 15° of opening, so the door returns to the seal line on its own.
Can the door position be corrected once fitted?
Yes – loosen the adjustment screws, level the door against the fixed panel, and re-tighten. Do the check with the door closed so the gap line reads true.
Do you supply the beveled edge shower hinge for wholesale and OEM programs?
Yes – this model is produced in Zimmor’s Foshan factory for wholesale and OEM sourcing: custom finishes, packaging and volume pricing are confirmed per order.
