DRILLING HOLES
This unit maybe installed on many types of walls. Please reference this section to determine how to
drill holes in your walls based on what material your walls are made of.
Fiberglass Enclosure: Use standard 1/8” drill bit to drill holes through the fiberglass wall mate-
rial at marked locations. Place a small amount of silicone into each hole before installing the screw.
If the fiberglass enclosure will not hold the screw:
Drill a 3/16” hole at the marked location. Insert a small amount of silicone into each hole. Place a
supplied blue wall plug into the hole. With a razor blade, carefully cut the head off of wall plug so it is
flush with the finished wall material.
Tile or Solid Surface with Blocking: Use a center punch at each marked location to prevent
the drill from walking. Use a 3/16” masonry bit to drill through the finished wall material (tile and
backer board) ONLY. Use a standard 1/8” drill bit to drill 1” deep pilot holes in the blocking. Insert a
small amount of silicone in each hole before installing the screw. 1” thread engagement of screws in
blocking is required. The customer maybe required to supply their own screws based on their fin-
ished wall material thickness.
Tile or Solid Surface without Blocking: Use a center punch at each marked location to
prevent the drill from walking. Use a 3/16” masonry bit to drill through the wall material. Insert a
small amount of silicone into each hole. Place a supplied blue wall plug into the hole. With a razor
blade, carefully cut the head off of wall plug so it is flush with the finished wall material.
