Home Safety Advice
Always take care when using an electric drill, particularly in the bathroom. Always check for hidden
cables and pipe work 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.
Note: The wall plugs supplied are for use on solid walls only. For cavity walls or plasterboard
use specialist fixings that are available from all good DIY stores.
Fixing Instructions
1. Lay out the components in the desired configuration. Measure around the bath or shower tray to
determine exact dimensions and shape. Join the rod sections together using the corner joint, tapping
gently into place if required. (See Fig.5)
Notes: The rods can be cut to length if required using a fine toothed hacksaw, but always cut the end of
the rod which fits and is concealed within the wall bracket. Ensure the end of the rod is cut square and
is deburred.
2. Measure the drop of the shower curtain to determine the position of the wall brackets, allowing for
the curtain hooks and sufficient overlap in the bath or tray. Place the first wall bracket in the desired
location and mark through the screw holes with a pencil (See Fig 1).
3. Using a 6mm masonry drill, drill the hole in the marked position to a depth of 30mm. If drilling
through tiles, please pre-drill using a ceramic drill bit.
4. Insert the wall plugs to the surface of the wall. If fitting to a tiled surface, the wall plug should be
inserted below the surface of the tile to avoid cracking. Fix the wall bracket to the wall using the
screws provided. (See Fig 2).
