Installation and Operating Instructions
Rev 01
Installation:
Installation should be carried out by a suitably
qualified tradesman using correct fixing for the
wall substrate. No fixings are su plied with this
product to allow the correct fixing method to
be selected for the specific installation.
Once the correct wall fixing has been selected, at
least 5 fixings should be employed in each end of the
rail. There are 7 fixing holes to give more flexibility
to the fitter in the exact location of the fixing. Where
possible the fixings should be evenly spaced but it is
up to the fitter to select the correct fixing holes for
the specific installation.
Release the flange cover off each end of the rail.
Offer grab rail up to correct location on the wall with
the fixing holes visible and carefully mark the selected
hole locations.
Drill the holes in the wall of a diameter and depth
recommended by supplier of wall fixings.
Once screws are installed, clip the flange cover back
over the flange.
Always carry out a functional test after installation
and report any issues immediately.
