Fixing Your Riser Rail to the Wall
Fitting the Riser Rail
Before proceeding with fitting the rail, identify each of the items
supplied using the illustration on the right.
The Slider should not be removed from the rail during fitting. The
underside of the slider has a button to release the slider and allows
the height to be adjusted.
Slide the soap dish onto the bottom end of the rail. Position a wall
bracket onto each end of the rail, ensuring the hole through the top
of the rail lines up with the hole in a wall bracket.
Position the rail on the wall, bearing in mind the different heights
of people likely to use the shower and the length of the hose when
connected to the shower and passed through the retaining hole
in the soap dish. Mark the wall to indicate the upper fixing screw
position.
Warning:
Please check for any hidden pipes and cables before
drilling holes in the wall.
Tips:
A piece of insulation or masking tape positioned where holes
are to be drilled and before marking out the exact position
for the fixing holes will help stop the drill bit from wandering,
particularly on a tiled surface.
When working near a basin, bath or shower insert plug or cover
waste to prevent losing small parts.
Take care not to drop tools/equipment into basin, bath or
shower during shower installation.
Drill the wall at the marked fixing position to suit the wall fixings to
be used, loosely fix the rail (with the large hole on the side shown)
and wall bracket. Check that the rail is hanging vertically using a
spirit level.
Slide the lower wall bracket onto the rail and mark its required
position onto the wall.
Note:
The lower wall bracket does not fix to the riser tube and can
be positioned along the riser tube so as to cover either an existing
riser hole in the wall or over a tile joint.
Remove the lower bracket from the rail and unscrew the upper
bracket from the wall. Mark and drill the lower wall bracket fixing
position and fix the bracket to the wall. Slide the rail down through
the lower wall bracket and reattach the upper bracket.
Check that the rail is perfectly vertical and tighten the upper fixing
screw. Insert end caps into the wall brackets at both ends of the rail.
When fitting the hose, it should pass through the hole of the soap
dish.
Note:
The conical hose end and not the handset handle, fits into
the slider. Ensure the washer is fitted between the hose and the
handset handle. The slider moves more freely on the rail if gripped
next to the rail, rather than at the handset.
