Home Safety Advice
- It is recommended that two people fit this product to ensure that it is fitted safely.
- Always take care when using power tools, particularly in the bathroom.
- Always check for hidden cables and pipework before drilling and take extreme care if there is any
water in the working area.
- It is advisable to use a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
- Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling.
- If the product is to be fitted on a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be used.
- Always ensure that the drill hole passes through the central tiled area rather than through the
grouted area. To prevent damage to the tile, mask the area around the hole with tape before drilling.
- Do not strike the product with hard or sharp objects.
Product Location
- The grab bars are only as strong as the wall to which they are fixed and the fixings that are used.
- For different wall types you will need to ensure that you are using the correct type of fixing for
the material of the wall.
- The addition of backboards on the outside of the wall or appropriate strengthening of internal
structures may be required to provide adequate wall strength.
NOTE: If the wall is made of lightweight thermal blocks, aerated hollow brickwork or prefabricated
partitions even the most appropriate fixings may not be able to withstand the loads which can be
suddenly applied to grab bars.
Fitting Instructions
1. Place the grab bar in the desired position on the wall surface and using the holes centres of
each wall bracket as a template, mark the screw fixing positions on the wall surface. (FIG.1)
