Home Safety Advice
Always take care when using an electric drill, particularly in the bathroom. Always check
for hidden cables and pipework before drilling and take extreme care if there is any water
in the working area.
It is advisable to use a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB).
Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling.
If the product is to be fitted on a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be used.
Always ensure that the drill hole passes through the central tiled area rather than through
the grouted area. To prevent damage to the tile, mask the area around the hole with tape
before drilling.

mounting holes in the grab bar wall brackets as a template and use the pencil to mark the
position of the mounting holes on the supporting wall.
Drill the holes to the correct size and depth for your fixing components using a suitable
masonry drill bit. If the grab bar is to be fitted onto a ceramic tiled wall then a suitable
ceramic drill bit should be used.
Insert the wall plugs into the holes drilled in the supporting wall. If fitting to a tiled surface,
the wall plugs should be inserted below the surface of the tile to avoid cracking.

mounting holes grab bar wall brackets are in alignment with the wall plugs inserted into
the supporting wall. Insert the mounting screws through the mounting holes grab bar wall
