Bathroom Installations
If fitted in a room containing a bath or shower, to comply with
the current I.E.E. Regulations, a cable outlet will be
necessary with the supply to the heater controlled by a
double-pole pull-cord switch having a contact separation of
3mm in each pole. The body of the switch should be
situated as to be normally inaccessible to a person using a
bath or shower. Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be
required the earthing conductor in the supply cord is deemed
to provide the supplementary bonding connection (see
Regulation 547-03-0@,’16’h Edition I.E.E. Wiring
Regulations.

Step 3
Place the towel rail straps into the wall mounted brackets,
secure them with the locater pins by inserting it and giving it
a quarter turn - see Fig. 2. Check the four brackets and towel
rail are fitting horizontal. If not go back to step 2. The straps
can be repositioned to ensure that the towel rail is horizontal
when fitted to your wall. If the towel rail cross rails are not
level, loosen both straps on either left or right hand upright
bar. Lower the two straps and raise up the towel rail until it
is horizontal, then secure as indicated in step 2 and 3.
