Thank you for purchasing the nie wieder bohren. (German for “no drilling required”) heavy duty grab bars. nie wieder

bohren. – Germany is an innovation leader in fastening technology. These bars have been engineered to exceed

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) requirements and offer the ability to mount using the

internationally patented nie wieder bohren. – no drilling required – technology on premium surfaces such as tile,

natural stone, glass and metal. The nie wieder bohren. – no drilling required – adapter system allows for ease of

installation, durability, performance and no holes in the walls! Another advantage of this innovative approach on

fastening technology is that the system can be removed, if needed, with no damage to the surface. Moreover, with an

additional set of adapters, the bar can be re-installed in minutes.

Choosing and Positioning a Wall Mounted Grab Bar

Wall mounted grab bars come in several lengths. Deciding which length to install depends on how the grab bar will be

used. If you are planning to put a main grab bar on the side wall of a bathroom tub enclosure, the National Kitchen

and Bath Association recommends using a grab bar of at least 24 inches. If you also want to add a second grab bar

for further support on the shower head wall, it should be at least 12 inches long. Before deciding whether to install a

grab bar horizontally, diagonally or vertically the following needs to be taken into consideration: Horizontal grab bars

offer better leverage to a person getting up from the bathtub or up and down from a toilet, whereas a grab bar placed

at a 45 degree angle to the toilet or bathtub rim is easier for people of differing heights to reach. Horiztonal grab bars

should be located 33 to 36 inches above the finished floor around toilets, 33 to 36 inches above the floor of the

bathtub and close enough to the shower head wall in order to support a person adjusting water temperature. Vertical

mount is ideally wall mounted on the entrance to the tub and directly under the shower head to assist with safe entry

and to prevent from falling while showering. The nie wieder bohren. grab bars are also ideal to mount directly to the

tub edge to aid children in safe entry and exit from the bathtub.

Note: Failure to follow the instruction sheet completely may result in a product failure and will void the warranty. Please be

sure to carefully read and follow the instructions for optimum results and safety

>I followed the instructions carefully, but the adapter still fell from the wall. Why did that happen? According to our experience, if the nie wieder bohren. system fails to deliver what we promise, it is usually for one of the three reasons listed below. Each of these reasons is caused by improper conditions for bonding. From the so-called fracture pattern of the adhesive on the back of the adapter, one can easily determine what the problem is. 1.
