use.
WALL PREPARATION
Goldair Heated Towel Rails may be fixed to any type of timber stud, steel stud or
masonry (solid or cavity) wall.
Walls made from timber or steel require studs at the correct position for all rails. If the
precise position can’t be determined early in the job, consider sheets of 18mm
construction ply, covering a larger area.
This rail has a small footprint against the wall. The wire holes and mounting holes must
be drilled neatly and accurately.
For drilling through hard materials such as porcelain tiles, marble, granite etc. an
appropriate drill bit must be used.
No responsibility will be taken by Goldair for instances where installers drill incorrectly.
NOTE: Attempting to fix into plasterboard or cement sheeting alone is not
recommended. Plasterboard in particular will not hold long term.
PRE WIRING
NOTE: Only drill holes when you are 100% sure of your measurements.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with
the wiring guidelines AS/NZS 3000:2007.
Provision should be made for a Timer to control the mains supply. It is recommended
that a Timer is used for energy saving purposes. Goldair recommend a Goldair Heated
Towel Rail Timer (GBT100 –not supplied).
WALL MOUNTED TOWEL RAILS ARE ONLY TO BE MOUNTED ON HEAT
RESISTANT WALLS THAT COMPLY WITH CURRENT AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS &
BUILDING REGULATIONS
WARNING: Installation must be completed by a registered electrician.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
You must next select which side of the towel rail is needed to be wired in. The heated
towel rail within this box has two wiring options (left or right hand).The location of
existing wiring through or on the wall will dictate which side you will use.
For Left hand wiring, connect the power cable from Point A.
For Right hand wiring, connect the power cable from Point B.
For the side that you do not use, insert the termination plug into the power cable and
secure with the cap screw fitting.
Installing your Towel Rail
Select desired position to mount towel rail with at least 300mm clearance from all
permanent objects in surrounding area and the bottom rung must be 600mm above the
floor. The Ladder Towel Rail should be installed in accordance to local governing AS/NZS
regulations. The Goldair Heated Towel Rail can only be mounted 1 way. Your towel rail is
mounted by legs with a screw on each of the 4 legs as indicated in Fig1. below.

Fig1.
CONCEALED OR EXPOSED WIRING
First, select which method of cord entry your installation
situation requires –exposed or concealed. (please see images
below as an indication to the differences)
The accessory pack contains a set of 4 legs for your heated towel
rail –one of which is a universal leg (used for both concealed and
exposed installations)
ExposedConcealed

Installing your Towel Rail
7. Mark the centers on the wall, note that the towel rail
should be installed so that the bottom rail is at least
600mm above floor level.
6. Hold the towel rail against the wall in the location
where you want the towel rail mounted. Ensure it is
located parallel using a spirit level. Using a pencil,
mark the four legs position on the wall.
1. Feed a leg mounting screw through the middle of the
upper leg (upper legs have a welded mounting point
inside the leg). There is a locator hole at the base end
which this screw should line up with and pass through.
2. Align the screw with the threaded hole of the upper leg
positions on the towel rail, ensure grub screw is facing
down. Tighten so that the legs are secured onto the
upright tube. Do not overtighten, leave just enough
give to allow the leg to rotate and align parallel with
other legs.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 to attach the second upper leg
5. The last lower leg should be installed either in a
concealed or exposed manner, as per the previous
page. For exposed wiring –ensure you use the included
black cable guide to prevent damage to the power
cable.
4. Using the short lower leg mounting screw, secure the
non-wired side, lower leg by sliding the leg over the
lower leg mount on the towel rail. Ensure the grub
screw is facing down.
NOTE: Use the lower leg with the cutout for the side (either
left or right) where the power cable is located.

12. Tighten the grub screws with the Allen key supplied, this
will secure your towel rail to the wall. If using the Through
Wall Bush you will need to replace the ‘grub’ screw in that
leg for the Pointed grub screw supplied.
Installing your Towel Rail
8. Drill holes in the marked location to suit the screws
provided, If installing into Gib board, Concrete or Block,
insert wall plugs into the wall.
9A.If using an exposed cable, insert a long screw through
the mounting bush, then fix into wall ensuring the fit is
secure –ideally you should screw into timber for sufficient
strength. Do this for all 4 legs.
11. Align your towel rail over the top of the 4 mounting
bushes, ensure all legs cover the mounting bushes. Make
sure the towel rail fits correctly - do not force into place if
the alignment is not correct.
9B. If completing a concealed cable installation, you will
need to use the Through Wall Bush for mounting the last
leg. Ensure you pass the power cable through the lug before
installing to the wall. Screw through the smaller hole –
leaving the larger hole for the cable to exit. Ideally you
should drill through a timber joist to give it strength.
10. ENSURE THE MAINS POWER IS OFF BEFORE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION - Remove the lower leg on the side you have
selected for the power connection. Pass the power cable
through the leg and connect it to the towel rail, screw the
leg back onto the towel rail.
