Step 2 -
Layout Planning
Before you begin
In order to avoid a hazard for very young children, heated towel rails
should be installed so that the lowest heated rail is at least 600 mm
above the floor.
•
Ensure that the wall you
intend to mount the rails onto
is strong enough to hold the
weight of the towel rail.
•
When you intend to mount
the rails to stud walls, fixings
must be made into the studs
or noggins.
•
When you intend to mount the
rails to masonry walls use the
wall plugs supplied.
•
Cables back boxes etc.,
will have to be chased into
masonry walls.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT mount
towel rails to plasterboard alone
as they will not provide enough
support.
•
Mains voltage cables installed
within a wall must be fixed
at least 50 mm from the
wall surface or occupy the
horizontal and vertical safe
zones in accordance with
BS 7671.
