Wall mounting
The Wall mounting accessory pack (see Fig. 2) contains:
(a) 4 mounting brackets
(b) 1 allen key
(c) 4 wall mounting screws, washers and wall plugs
(d) 4 hex. stud screws
Procedure for wall mounting
Step 1
Mark suitable hole positions for the four fixing brackets (ensuring
they are horizontal). Drill and plug the wall to suit - see Fig. 2.
Note: Allow enough room above and below for the clearance stated
and suggested wall brackets positions - see Fig. 1.
Step 2
The hex. stud screw in the slot has to be removed using the allen key
provided first, to separate the inner ‘Z’ and outer ‘W’ sleeves of the
wall brackets.
Mount the four outer sleeve wall brackets in line with the drilled out
holes using the screws provided - see steps 1 - 4 in Fig. 2.
Note: the brackets have slot holes to allow for possible adjustment
later.
Step 3
Remove the cap ‘Y’ from the inner sleeve assembly, unscrew the nut
and remove the rail support ‘X’. On the inner side (wall) of the towel
rail position the inner sleeve between the cross rails as indicated in
Fig. 1. Position the rail support to receive the bolt on the inner sleeve
and hand tighten with the nut - see Fig. 3.
Slide into position (see suggested positions in Fig. 1).
Step 4
Lift the towel rail now with the inner sleeve assembly in position, and
align with the outer sleeve previously fixed to the wall. When all four
inner sleeves are inserted correctly into the outer sleeves of the
brackets tighten each nut fully. Replace the cap ‘Y’ and the hex. stud
screw. The distance the towel rail can be positioned from the wall
can be varied by adjusting the hex. stud screws. When in the desired
location, tighten fully to secure the towel rail to the wall.
To assist with the alignment of the outer ‘W’ and inner ‘Z’ sleeves the
outer sleeve may be adjusted using the slot provided, refer to Note in
