Safety and Care Advice

1. Always take care when using a 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.
2. Always use a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) when using mains powered
tools and take extreme care if there is any water in the working area.
3. Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling.
4. 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.
5. It is recommended that two people fit this product to ensure that it is fitted safely.

Product Location

Grab and support bars are only as strong as the wall to which they are fixed and the
fixings that are used.
For different wall types you will need to ensure that you are using the correct type of
fixing for the material of the wall.
The addition of backboards on the outside of the wall or appropriate strengthening of
internal structures may be required to provide adequate wall strength.
NOTE: If the wall is made of lightweight thermal blocks, aerated hollow brickwork
or prefabricated partitions even the most appropriate fixings may not be able to
withstand the loads which can be suddenly applied to grab bars.
