Home Safety Advice

• It is recommended that two people fit this product to ensure that it is fitted safely.
• Always take care when using power tools, 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.
• Do not strike the product with hard or sharp objects.

Product Care

To retain the best quality finish, clean product regularly with a soft damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the product.

Product Location

Grab rails 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 rails.
