T O I N S TA L L I N T O M E TA L WA L L S T U D S : 1. Put on safety glasses before starting.
2. Use the 3/8-inch power drill and 5/8-inch drill bit to drill six (6) holes where marked. NOTE:
If installing Grab Bar
over ceramic tiles, the 5/8-inch carbide drill bit will be needed for drilling through tile, in order to prevent damage to
tiles. Once a hole has been drilled through the tile, use the 5/8-inch drill bit to drill through the backing support for
the tile.
3. Insert one (1) TOGGLE BOLT through any one of the mounting holes
on one end of the Grab Bar. Start a spring nut on the end of the
TOGGLE BOLT as shown (see Figure 5), screwing it onto the
bolt about three turns. Repeat this step for two (2) TOGGLE BOLTS
on that same end of the Grab Bar.
4. Position the end of the Grab Bar with the TOGGLE BOLTS attached so that you can push the spring nuts and butt ends
of the TOGGLE BOLTS through the corresponding holes that have been drilled. The spring nuts
must be completely
through the holes in the wall (see Figure 6).
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the other end of the Grab Bar.
6. Pull the TOGGLE BOLTS on one end of the Grab Bar toward you and finger tighten the BOLTS to be sure that spring nuts
have opened fully against the back side of the wall and metal wall studs (see Figure 6).If the spring nuts have not opened
fully, loosen the bolts and repeat Step 6.
7. Repeat Step 6 for the other end of the Grab Bar.
8. Lightly tighten the TOGGLE BOLTS. Further tightening will be required in Step 10.
9. If Grab Bar is to be installed horizontally, make sure Grab Bar is level (you may need to jostle the TOGGLE BOLTS
on one end or the other to level the bar).
10. Securely tighten all TOGGLE BOLTS with a screwdriver.
11. If concealed mounting Grab Bar is used, move cover plates over mounting holes and firmly press against the wall
(see Figure 1 on page 1).

6. One the other end of the Grab Bar, insert one (1) of the three (3) TOGGLE BOLTS
supplied through any one of the mounting holes in the Grab Bar.
Start a spring nut on the end of the TOGGLE BOLT as shown
(see Figure 9), screwing it onto the bolt about three turns.
Repeat this step for the remaining two (2) TOGGLE BOLTS.
7. Position the end of the Grab Bar with the TOGGLE BOLTS attached so that you can push the spring nuts and butt ends
of the TOGGLE BOLTS through the holes that have been drilled. The spring nuts
must be completely through the
holes in the wall (see Figure 8).
8. Pull
the
TOGGLE BOLTS toward you and finger tighten the bolts to be sure that spring nuts have opened fully against
the back side of the wall (see Figure 8). If the spring nuts have not opened fully, loosen the BOLTS and repeat Step 8.
9. Lightly tighten the TOGGLE BOLTS. Further tightening will be required in Step 12.
10. Repeat Step 5 for the remaining two (2) WOOD SCREWS going into the wood wall stud.
11. If Grab Bar is to be installed horizontally, make sure Grab Bar is level (you may need to jostle the TOGGLE BOLT side
to level the bar).
12. Securely tighten all mounting WOOD SCREWS and toggle bolts with a screwdriver.
13. If concealed mounting Grab Bar is used, move cover plates over mounting holes and firmly press against the wall
(see Figure 1 on page 1).

1. Put on safety glasses before starting.
2. First start on the end of Grab Bar that will be installed into a wood wall stud. Use the 3/8-inch power drill and 1/8-
inch drill bit to drill all holes on the wood wall stud end into the wall and wood wall stud at the marked positions.
NOTE:
If installing Grab Bar over ceramic tiles, the 5/8-inch carbide drill bit will be needed for drilling through tile,
in order to prevent damage to tiles. Once a hole has been drilled through the tile, use the 1/8-inch drill bit to drill a
pilot hole into the wood wall stud itself.
3. On the end that will be mounted into wallboard, use the 3/8-inch power drill and 5/8-inch drill bit to drill three (3)
holes where marked. NOTE:
If installing Grab Bar over ceramic tiles, the 5/8-inch carbide drill bit will be needed for
drilling through tile, in order to prevent damage to tiles. Once a hole has been drilled through the tile, use the 5/8-
inch drill bit to drill through the backing support for the tile.
4. Place Grab Bar on wall aligning mounting holes with the holes in the wall.
5. Insert
one (1) WOOD SCREW into the end of the Grab Bar that will be installed into the wood wall stud. Screw into
wall and wall stud (HAND TIGHTEN ONLY) (see Figure 8).

4. Position the end of the Grab Bar with the TOGGLE BOLTS
attached so that you can push the spring nuts and butt ends

6. Pull
the
TOGGLE BOLTS on one end of the Grab Bar toward you and finger tighten the bolts to be sure that spring nuts
have opened fully against theback side of the wall and metal wall studs (see Figure 11). If the spring nuts have not
opened fully, loosen the bolts and repeat Step 6.
