INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION SCENARIOS
• Typical wiring for 4 scenarios is shown in
Fig 1
. - Timber floor,
Fig 2
. - Concrete slab floor with drilled hole for wiring,
Fig 3
. - Concrete floor with embedded conduit for wiring.
Fig 4
.
- Tiled floor
• Installation in structures other than those shown is possible, provided similar principles are followed. Refer to www.dcshort.com
for other installation instructions or contact DC Short Ltd for further technical advice.
1. TIMBER FLOOR INSTALLATION
• The towel rail must be fixed into timber structure below the flooring.
• Fixing into the strip flooring alone will not give sufficient strength.
• Drill a cable hole minimum 12mm diameter.
• Using the towel rail as a guide, mark the positions of the fixing screw holes.
• A pilot hole of 4mm diameter should be drilled in each position through the timber structure.
• Connect the towel rail power cable to the low voltage cable using the waterproof wire nuts.
• Apply a bead on neutral cure silicone sealant to the floor before fixing.
• Fix the towel rail to the floor using the stainless coach screws. Finally slide down the cover plates into position.
2. CONCRETE SLAB FLOOR INSTALLATION
• Drill a cable hole minimum 12mm diameter through the slab into the subfloor/ceiling below.
• Using the towel rail as a guide, mark the positions of the fixing screw holes.
• Drill a 8mm hole to a depth of 75mm for the 4 x rawl plugs provided.
• Connect the towel rail power cable to the low voltage cable using the waterproof wire nuts.
• Apply a bead on neutral cure silicone sealant to the floor before fixing.
• Fix the towel rail to the floor using the stainless coach screws. Finally slide down the cover plates into position.
3. CONCRETE SLAB FLOOR ,EMBEDDED CONDUIT INSTALLATION
• Embed or trench a 20mm diameter PVC electrical conduit into the slab to accomodate the low voltage wiring.
• Follow the same instructions as scenario
2
.
4. TILED FLOOR WITH EITHER TIMBER or CONCRETE BELOW
• For timber under tiles follow the same steps as scenario
1,
BUT drill a 8mm hole through the tiling ONLY and a 6mm pilot hole
into the timber below.
• For concrete under tiling follow the same steps as scenario
2
and drill the same size holes through the tiling into the concrete
below.
