SLIDE BAR MAY NOT PROVIDE DESIGNED AMOUNT OF SUPPORT UNLESS 

THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED.
For proper installation, both ends of Slide Bar MUST be installed into a wall stud. 

For solid support, at least two (2) of the three (3) screws on each end of the 

Slide Bar MUST go through the wallboard or tile and be tightly secured into the 

wall stud. Given standard stud sizes, only two (2) of the three (3) screws may 

screw into the wall stud.
Slide Bar may be installed vertically, horizontally or at an angle, so long as 

at least two (2) of the three (3) mounting screws on each end of the Slide 

Bar are secured into a wall stud. Locate the wall studs behind the wall before 

beginning installation (a stud finder can be obtained from a hardware store).

         WARNING

THE FOLLOWING STEPS REQUIRE DRILLING INTO THE WALL.
When drilling into the wall, exercise care to avoid any electrical wiring or 

plumbing that may be located behind the wall. Damaged electrical wiring can 

cause electrical shock and/or fire. Since older homes do not always fall in line 

with current housing codes and requirements, know where internal wall wiring 

is located so that no wires will interfere with your installation.
PROPER INSTALLATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. IF IN DOUBT, 

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL.

USING SLIDE BAR:

1.  Read, understand and follow the information in the SAFETY WARNINGS 

section of this instruction Sheet. Delta Faucet shall have no liability  

for any damage or injury caused by improper installation or use of  

this Slide Bar.

2.   Grasp the Slide Bar when exiting or entering the bathtub or shower.

3.   Use EXTREME caution on wet tub or floor surfaces.

4.   DO NOT put entire weight on Slide Bar. Slide Bar is rated for persons 

weighing up to 

300 pounds when properly installed.

5.   DO NOT stand, sit or step on Slide Bar. DO NOT use Slide Bar as a step or 

platform to reach area above the tub. 

Use the bar for assistance ONLY.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

1.   Use of mild soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended 

for cleaning.

2.   Periodically inspect the Slide Bar for damage or looseness.  DO NOT use 

if any damage or looseness exists. Contact your authorized dealer for 

assistance.

3.  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

BEFORE INSTALLING SLIDE BAR:

1.   Remove the Slide Bar and parts from the package. If concealed mount 

Slide Bar is used, move cover plates away from mounting holes.

2.   Determine where you want to install Slide Bar.

3.   Place Slide Bar on wall at desired position. If mounting horizontally or vertically, 

check that the Slide Bar is level.

4.   With a pencil, mark the centers of the mounting hole positions on one end.  

These are the points where you will later drill pilot holes for putting in the 

screws.

5.   Repeat Step 4 for the other end of the Slide Bar.
TO INSTALL INTO WOOD WALL STUDS:

6.   Put on safety glasses before starting.

7.   Use the 3/8” power drill and 5/32” drill bit to drill all holes into the wall and wood 

wall studs at the marked positions. NOTE: If installing Slide Bar over ceramic 

tiles, the 1/4” carbide tip drill bit will be needed for drilling through the tile, in 

order to prevent damage to the tiles. Drill pilot holes through the tiles by using a 

1/4” carbide tip drill bit. Once a hole has been drilled through the ceramic tiles, 

use the 5/32” drill bit to drill a pilot hole in the wood wall stud itself.

8.   Place Slide Bar on wall, aligning mounting holes with the holes in the wall.

9.   Insert the wood screws provided into one end of the Slide Bar. Screw into wall 

and wall stud 

(HAND TIGHTEN ONLY).

10.   Repeat  Step 4 for opposite end of the Slide Bar.

11.  

Securely

 tighten all mounting wood screws with a screwdriver.

12.   If concealed mount Slide Bar is used, move cover plates  

over mounting holes and firmly press against the wall.
