4. Determine the position you want the to install the bar. Place the bar against the wall.
Using a pencil, mark the location of each mounting hole at both ends of the bar.
5. Using a power drill with a 1/4" diameter carbide tipped drill bit, drill, each mounting hole.
6. Apply silicone caulking around and inside each drilled hole before installing the grab bar.
7. Take two (2) of the #10 x 2" Stainless Steel screws. By hand, start one mounting screw in
each end of the bar into the wall.
8. Use a power drill with a Phillips drill bit to fully install these mounting screws.
9. Take the remaining #10 x 2" screws and place them into the remaining open holes. Use
care to snug up the screws, but to not over-torque that the screws strip out the factory
installed backer board.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLLAPSIBLE WATER RETAINERS
Important considerations before you begin: Most manufactured units are designed with a
radius where the oor transitions or meets the wall. This is to ensure proper structural strength
where the wall meets the oor. The installation of end caps is highly recommended on
radius models for proper t and nish. The caps will also help to keep your curtain inside
the water barrier. A properly sized curtain with heavy tape weights combined with a water
retainer is the most complete and effective system available today.
Installation of radius models: (For Finished End Cap Installation) Make sure you have ordered
the correct length. See chart below. The water retainer strip is designed to travel along the
oor to the wall radius until vertical, then capped. (Less Cap Installation) Cut the retainer
strip to the shape of the radius where the wall and the oor meet, then caulk. Caps are not
required in applications where a 90-degree corner is standard.
