1. Prepare the Site
For Multiple-Post Accessories
NOTE: Take into account the length of the accessory components to
determine the required distance between the post center points.
NOTE: Tissue holders generally rough-in at 8″(20.3 cm) to 12″(30.5
cm) about the toilet rim and 6″(15.2 cm) in front of the toilet bowl.
Mark the vertical and horizontal centerlines for each post. Use a
level to ensure that all center points are level.
For Single-Post Accessories
Mark the vertical and horizontal centerlines for the post. Use a
level to ensure that all center points are level.

2. Mark and Drill the Pilot Holes
Draw a 1-3/8″(3.5 cm) diameter circle around the accessory post
center point.
Position the wall plate over the circle and mark the three hole
locations.
NOTE: There is no provision for later adjustment if the center points
and the resulting pilot holes for multiple-post accessories are not
level with each another.
If your accessory requires multiple posts, verify the center points
are level.
NOTE: Use a 5/16″drill bit for horizontal tissue holder installations.
Use a 1/2″drill bit for all other accessory installations.
Set the wall plate aside, then drill a hole at each marked location.

NOTE: You may need to disassemble some of the accessories. Some
accessories will be packed with the wall plate installed in the post.

For Horizontal Tissue Holder Installations
Press and hold the legs of a wall anchor together, then insert the
wall anchor legs into the hole. Insert all wall anchors into the
pre-drilled mounting holes.
Carefully tap each wall anchor into the finished surface. Ensure
the wall anchors are flush with the finished surface.
For All Other Accessory Installations
Hold the toggle anchor flat alongside the plastic straps and slide
it through the previously drilled hole.
With one hand, pull the looped end straight out (do not pull at
an angle) so that the toggle anchor rests flush behind the wall.
Slide the clip along the straps with your other hand until the
flange of the clip is flush with the wall.
Place your thumb between the plastic straps. Wiggle the straps
side-to-side until they snap off at the wall.
Insert the enclosed bolt through the wall plate and tighten until it
is flush with the wall.
Minimum clearance behind the wall is 1–7/8” (4.8cm).

1. Préparer le site
Pour des accessoires à montants multiples
REMARQUE : Prendre en considération la longueur des composants
pour déterminer la distance requise entre les points centraux du
montant.
REMARQUE : Les porte-papier hygiénique se raccordent
généralement de 8″(20,3 cm) à 12″(30,5 cm) du rebord de W.C. et 6″
(15,2 cm) de l’avant de la cuvette du W.C.
Marquer les lignes centrales verticales et horizontales pour
chaque montant. Utiliser un niveau à bulle pour s’assurer que
tous les axes soient nivelés.
Pour des accessoires à un seul montant
Marquer les lignes centrales verticales et horizontales pour le
montant. Utiliser un niveau à bulle pour s’assurer que tous les
axes soient nivelés.

2. Marquer et percer les trous-pilotes
Dessiner un cercle de 1-3/8″(3,5 cm) de diamètre autour de l’axe
de montant de l’accessoire.
Positionner la plaque murale sur le cercle et marquer les
emplacements des trois orifices.
REMARQUE : Il n’y aura pas de possibilité de réglage plus tard si
les axes et les trous-pilotes résultant des accessoires de montants
multiples ne sont pas nivelés entre-eux.
Si l’accessoire nécessite des montants multiples, vérifier que les
points centraux sont nivelés.
REMARQUE : Utiliser une mèche de 5/16″pour des installations de
portes-papier hygiénique horizontaux. Utiliser une mèche de 1/2″
pour toutes autres installations d’accessoires.
Mettre la plaque murale de côté, puis percer un trou à chaque
emplacement marqué.

3. Installer les ancrages muraux
REMARQUE : Un démontage de certains accessoires peut s’avérer
nécessaire. Certains accessoires sont emballés avec la plaque murale
installée sur le montant. Desserrer la vis de retenue et retirer la
plaque murale si nécessaire.
Pour des installations de porte-papier hygiénique horizontales
Presser et maintenir les pieds d’un ancrage mural ensemble et
insérer les pieds d’ancrage mural dans l’orifice. Insérer tous les
ancrages muraux dans les orifices de fixation préalablement
percés.
Enfoncer délicatement chaque encrage mural dans la surface finie.
S’assurer que les ancrages muraux soient à égalité avec la surface
finie.
Pour toutes les autres installations d’accessoires:
Maintenir l’ancrage à plat le long des sangles en plastique puis le
glisser dans l’orifice préalablement percé.
D’une main, tirer vers le haut sur l’anneau (ne pas tirer en angle)
de sorte que l’ancrage repose à affleurement à l’arrière du mur.
Faire glisser le capuchon de plastique le long des sangles jusqu’à
ce qu’il soit à égalité avec le mur.
Placer le pouce entre les sangles en plastique. Bouger les sangles
d’un côté à l’autre pour les casser au mur.
