18" and 24" TOWEL BAR
The 18" TOWEL BAR (1) and 24' TOWEL BAR (2) work best if secured to a wall stud or cross brace within the wall,
using the SCREWS (3) supplied.
If the 18" TOWEL BAR (1) and 24' TOWEL BAR (2) is to be installed on a tile or plaster wall the TILE ANCHORS (4) or
DRYWALL ANCHORS (6) and SCREWS (3) should be used.
Determine desired height and location (optional) and mark a center line. For the 24" TOWEL BAR (2) mark a centerline 24" horizontally
from the first location. For the 18" TOWEL BAR (1) mark a centerline 18" from the first location. Using the MOUNTING PLATE (5) as a
template mark the two mounting holes. Repeat for the other MOUNTING PLATE (5). If MOUNTING PLATE (5) is secured to a stud or
cross brace, drill small pilot holes for SCREWS (4).
For installations on drywall, use DRYWALL ANCHORS (6) and SCREWS (3) for securing MOUNTING PLATE (5) to wall. Place #2 Phillips
screwdriver or cordless screwdriver into recess of anchor. Press into drywall while turning the anchor clockwise until it is seated flush with
the wall. Place MOUNTING PLATE (5) over DRYWALL ANCHORS (6) and insert SCREWS (3) with #2 Phillips screwdriver. See illustration
below. Secure MOUNTING PLATE (5) to wall with SCREWS (3).
For installations on tiled walls, If TILE ANCHORS (4) and SCREWS (3) are used for securing MOUNTING PLATE (5), then drill two
1/4" diameter holes a minimum of 1-1/4" deep. Insert the two TILE ANCHORS (4) flush with face of the finished wall. Secure
MOUNTING PLATE (5) to wall with SCREWS (3).
Install the WALL ESCUTCHEON (7) on the MOUNTING PLATE (5). Place the 18" TOWEL BAR (1) and 24' TOWEL BAR (2) into the
SIDE SUPPORT BRACKET (10, 10a). Align slot in towel bar with notch in recess of support post (10, 10a) (see Figure A). Place the18"
