Questions and answers
Ok, thank you. How do I adjust the riser rail? There are no screws.

@Mr. Anderson
How do I access the adjustable fixing centre. I have taken the cover off and there are no screws to undo. The riser rail is solid, how do I loosen it to raise it so that I can position the soap dish? Thank you for your help.
How do I move the riser rail up & down?
The Triton Omnicare riser rail is adjustable in height, making it easier to shower while seated or standing. The shower head holder is height adjustable, and the grab riser rail is designed to support a load of up to 150kg. To adjust the riser rail, use the single-hand operated handset holder with the easy push system to move the shower head to the desired height.

How do I access the adjustable fixing centre to raise the rail upwards.
To access the adjustable fixing centre on the Triton Omnicare and raise the rail upwards, you need to loosen the machine screws slightly so the rail is not fully tightened. This allows adjustment. Once positioned correctly, tighten both screws securely.

How do I adjust the riser rail so that I can put a soap holder dish on it. The installer told me there was no soap/gel holder with the one i bought.
The Triton Omnicare riser rail comes with a height-adjustable shower head holder. To install a soap holder dish, you would need to adjust the riser rail by loosening the holder mechanism, positioning the soap dish at the desired height, and then securing it in place. The rail’s design allows for easy adjustments to accommodate accessories like a soap holder dish.

Hi, I have a Triton Omnicare shower and didn’t install it for a while. When I came to install it I have found that I don’t have the corner pieces or the 2 screws to fix the cover. Is it possible to get replacements for these please?
YES. Replacement parts such as corner pieces (referred to as pipe entry trims) and screws for the Triton Omnicare shower are available. For example, the top pipe entry trim (Ref. 1, product code 7054869) and bottom pipe entry trim (Ref. 2, product code 7054870) can be purchased. These trims are priced at £12.75 each.
