INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HAND SHOWER GLIDE RAIL

Model

Series
Your Glide Rail adjustable shower mount is designed for easy installation
using the special adhesive tape and screws supplied. However, before
you proceed, we recommend you carefully read these instructions to help
determine the best mounting method and assure a satisfactory installation.
1. SELECT LOCATION
Select wall position at convenient location
suitable for height of bathers. Hold the Glide
Rail against the wall to check height and
make sure it is located to permit full height
adjustment with the shower hose to be used.
2. DECIDE ON MOUNTING METHOD
On any smooth surface such as tile, fiberglass,
marble, etc., the special mounting tape
attached to the rail is usually satisfactory
by itself. For best adhesion of the mounting
tape, do not mount rail directly over a vertical
ceramic tile line. On any rough surface such as
uneven tile, etc., the screws provided should
be used in addition to the tape.

3. MOUNT GLIDE RAIL
A. Adhesive Bonded Mounting Procedure:
Clean Surface - If mounting tape only is used, the
wall surface must be thoroughly cleaned. To achieve
maximum adhesion, it is necessary that the surface be
free of any residue. If the wall surface is not absolutely
dry and clean, the self-adhesive backing will not stick
properly. To clean most surfaces, nail polish remover,
rubbing alcohol, or lighter fluid can be used, (Be sure to
follow the precautions noted on the container.) A mild
abrasive cleaner should be used if silicone or wax has
been applied to the wall.
Mount Rail - Peel protective covering from tape, being
careful not to touch or otherwise contaminate the
adhesive Position rail and press firmly into place by
rubbing on the rail with the heel of your hand. NOTE:
For best results allow the adhesive to dry for a
minimum of 4 hours before using shower.
B. Screw Mounting Procedure:
Mark screw hole positions on the wall. Drill 1/4” holes as
near the center of the slotted holes as possible for the
screw anchors provided (use a carbide tipped drill for
ceramic tile or concrete).
Peel adhesive protective covering from Glide Rail and
install as in 3A above, being sure the slotted holes are
aligned with the screw anchors before pressing into
place. Install screws and tighten until the tape is slightly
compressed.
Replace chrome end caps by tapping on the caps lightly
with a hammer until they snap into place. Protect the
caps with a cloth or other soft substance while striking.
4. MOUNT HAND SHOWER
Mount the hand shower on glide rail and attach to water supply. Tighten hose
nuts sufficiently to slightly compress the urethane hose ends which act as
gasket seals.
