Suitable Applications & Installation Notes
RY3463 is a flexible T-shaped shower seal with a 13mm upright section and an 8mm base.
It can be used in two different ways.
For a shower tray installation, the base can be bonded directly onto a flat, smooth surface using the pre-applied adhesive backing. This creates a raised water barrier that can work together with a compatible bottom shower door seal.
The same profile can also be inserted into a suitable T-slot channel on some framed shower doors, allowing it to work as a replacement framed-door seal where the slot dimensions are compatible.
Because the upright section is 13mm high, check the relationship between this threshold and the bottom seal before fitting. Where both seals meet, the flexible fins should normally overlap by no more than about 5mm. Too much overlap can cause excessive drag, folding or resistance when the door moves.
The strip is supplied in a 950mm length and can be cut easily with heavy-duty scissors.
Installation Tips
For adhesive installation:
- Clean and dry the shower tray thoroughly.
- Peel away the protective backing from the pre-applied adhesive.
- Position the strip carefully before pressing it down.
- Press firmly along the full length.
- Try to fit it correctly the first time rather than repeatedly lifting and re-sticking it.
- For the strongest bond, allow 7–10 hours before using the shower.
For a framed-door T-slot installation, make sure the track is clean and wide enough for the 8mm base before inserting the profile.
If you are unsure whether this profile is suitable as a threshold or a framed-door seal, see our how to choose a shower threshold strip guide before ordering.
