Home Safety Advice
Before drilling, check for hidden cables or pipes. The use of a residual current device (RCD) is
recommended when working with power tools.
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 the grouted area. To
prevent damage to the tile, mask the area around the hole with tape before drilling.
Do not use this product as a grab bar.
We recommend that two people fit this product to ensure that it is fitted safely.
Product Care
To retain the best quality finish, clean product regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergents.
Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the product.
Fitting Instructions
1. The rod is supplied as two 1.25m lengths which can be joined together
using the straight joint provided. Firstly lay the two rods down on a flat
level surface. One end of each of the rods has a hole pierced into it
approximately 50mm from the end. Insert the straight joint into one of
these ends so that the grub screw is central with the hole in the rod.
Using the larger of the two hex head keys, provided, rotate the grub
screw clockwise until the straight joint is clamped tightly in position (see
Fig. 1).

2. Assemble the second rod onto the straight joint making sure that the tube
ends are pushed tightly together, align the hole with the grub screw and again
clamp tightly in position (see Fig. 2).
3. Select desired position of rod and mark centres of the mounting holes
using the wall brackets as a template (Fig. 3).
Make sure that the wall brackets are level with each other before drilling.
4. Using a 6mm masonry drill, drill the holes in the marked positions
to a depth of 40mm. If drilling through tiles, please pre-drill using a ceramic
drill bit.
5. 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.
6. Accurately measure the distance between the fixing surfaces. Carefully
cut one end of the assembled rod 42 mm shorter than the measured
distance between the fixing surfaces (see Fig. 4). Ensure the end of the rod
is cut square and the cut edge is de-burred.
7. Hang the wall bracket covers onto the wall brackets (see Fig. 5).
8. Position the hooks and collars onto the rod making sure they are in
the correct orientation and that the pierced holes of the rod are at the top.
Locate the rod between the wall brackets and slide each collar onto the wall
brackets making sure the collars locate into the square holes of the wall bracket
covers.
Align the wall bracket covers and then secure each collar in position by
tightening the grub screw closest to the wall (a). Once these are secured
tighten the second grub screw (b) in each collar onto the rod (see Fig. 6).
8. Check that the wall brackets are level by placing a spirit level onto the rod.
9. The rod is now ready to hang a curtain. If required lightly apply silicone polish
to the top of the rail to reduce hook friction.
