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 retrofit/remodel installations, check the existing shower enclosure for adequate clearance
before proceeding with the slidebar installation. Refer to the roughing-in illustration in the Specification 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 officials.
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
finished 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 finished 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 specified in the
Price Book.

NOTICE: These instructions are for P21664 (with integrated supply). For P21654, proceed to the next section.
Measure and mark 29-7/8” (759 mm) vertically from the center of the adapter.
Make sure the top post adjustment screws are centered in their slots so adjustment can be made in either
direction. This will allow even up or down adjustability of the slidebar top post.
Hold the slidebar up and make sure the openings in the two posts are centered on the mark and adapter.
Using a level, verify that the hole centerlines are vertically aligned.
Drill a 1/4” (6 mm) hole at the marked location, and install the wall anchor flush to the wall.
Mount the bracket to the wall with the supplied screw.
Position the slidebar with the water supply at the bottom. Push the slidebar onto the two brackets.
If necessary, adjust the vertical position of the top post: Using a 3/32” hex wrench, loosen the four screws
and adjust the top post position. Retighten the screws.
The hole in the bracket is oversized to allow for additional adjustment if necessary for proper fit. Loosen the
screw and adjust the bracket up or down slightly. Then retighten the screw.
Using a 3/32” hex wrench, secure the setscrew at each post.
