Proceed cautiously through the following steps in this installation process to avoid drilling into in-wall water supply lines.
2. Mounting the Grab Bar.
Step #1
Use a power drill with a 1/8” carbide tip
drill bit (not provided) and drill at the six
(6) locations marked on the wall into the
2” thick solid wood in-wall backing.
Step #2
Apply a bead of silicone between the Mounting
Plate and the mounting surface to ensure a
water-tight seal will be created at the mounting
location. Secure the grab bar to the wall using
six (6) #12 x 2-1/2” stainless steel screws
(supplied by manufacturer) and screw into the
1/8” holes created in the 2” thick solid wood
in-wall backing. Tighten screws completely after
ALL screws are in place.
Step #3
Before use, raise the Swing-Up Arm of the grab bar and make sure it
remains secure in the “up” position.
Lower the Swing-Up Arm of the grab bar and make sure the lower portion
of the arm rests squarely and securely on the Mounting Plate.
DO NOT EXCEED 250 POUNDS OF FORCE IN USE.
To ensure proper and safe installation, the grab bar should not shift in
any direction on the mounting surface.
Hardware Provided: (6) #12 x 2-1/2” Phillips Pan Head sheet metal screws.
Tools required: Marking pencil/pen, level, power drill, 1/8” carbide tip drill
bit, #3 phillips driver, silicone.
THIS COMPLETES THE INSTALLATION OF THIS GRAB BAR.
All mounting points must fasten into structural wood backing, minimum 2” thickness.
Avoid electrical and/or plumbing behind the wall, and where possible drill through tile – not through grout.
