BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. To eliminate the risk of scalding, the water temperature should never
be set above 120°F (49°C).
IMPORTANT! For retrofi t/remodel installations, check the existing shower enclosure for adequate clearance
before proceeding with the slidebar installation. Refer to the roughing-in illustration in the Specifi cation Sheet.
IMPORTANT! For best results, hot and cold water pressure should be similar and within a range of 29 psi (200
kPa) - 58 psi (400 kPa). If the maximum water pressure exceeds 75 psi (500 kPa), use a pressure-reducing
device in the supply line.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not apply excessive weight or downward force to the slidebar.
NOTE: Plumbing codes may require a vacuum breaker be installed in-line to handshowers. Please consult with
local plumbing offi cials.
Prior to installation, unpack the new slidebar and inspect it for damage. Return the slidebar to its protective
carton until you are ready to install it.
Inspect the existing supply piping and wall materials. Replace if necessary.
Ensure that adequate strength wall-backing materials and stud bracing are properly positioned behind the
fi nished wall.
Wood screws must be securely anchored into the stud bracing to adequately support the product. When
obtaining wood screws, take into account the type of stud bracing material and thickness of the fi nished wall.
Wood screws must be corrosion-resistant and capable of 300 lbs (136 kg) load bearing per screw.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Shut off the water supply.
KALLISTA reserves the right to make revisions in the design of products without notice, as specifi ed in the
