INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAND SHOWER GLIDE RAIL

Model 55531▲ Series

▲ Designate proper finish suffix

Your Glide Rail adjustable shower mount is designed for easy installation using the special adhesive tape and screws supplied. However, before you proceed, we recommend you carefully read these instructions to help determine the best mounting method and assure a satisfactory installation.

1. SELECT LOCATION

Select wall position at convenient location suitable for height of bathers. Hold the Glide Rail against the wall to check height and make sure it is located to permit full height adjustment with the shower hose to be used.

2. DECIDE ON MOUNTING METHOD

On any smooth surface such as tile, ﬁberglass, marble, etc., the special mounting tape attached to the rail is usually satisfactory by itself. For best adhesion of the mounting tape, do not mount rail directly over a vertical ceramic tile line. On any rough surface such as uneven tile, etc., the screws provided should be used in addition to the tape.

3. MOUNT GLIDE RAIL

A. Adhesive Bonded Mounting Procedure:

Clean Surface - If mounting tape only is used, the

wall surface must be thoroughly cleaned. To achieve maximum adhesion, it is necessary that the surface be free of any residue. If the wall surface is not absolutely dry and clean, the self-adhesive backing will not stick properly. To clean most surfaces, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or lighter ﬂuid can be used, (Be sure to follow the precautions noted on the container.) A mild abrasive cleaner should be used if silicone or wax has been applied to the wall.

Mount Rail - Peel protective covering from tape, being careful not to touch or otherwise contaminate the adhesive Position rail and press ﬁrmly into place by rubbing on the rail with the heel of your hand. NOTE:

For best results allow the adhesive to dry for a minimum of 4 hours before using shower.

B. Screw Mounting Procedure:

Remove Glide Rail end caps by inserting the blade of a screwdriver between the end of the rail and end cap (on rear side of rail) and prying off.

Mark screw hole positions on the wall. Drill 1/4” holes as near the center of the slotted holes as possible for the screw anchors provided (use a carbide tipped drill for ceramic tile or concrete).

Peel adhesive protective covering from Glide Rail and install as in 3A above, being sure the slotted holes are aligned with the screw anchors before pressing into place. Install screws and tighten until the tape is slightly compressed.

Replace chrome end caps by tapping on the caps lightly with a hammer until they snap into place. Protect the caps with a cloth or other soft substance while striking.

4. MOUNT HAND SHOWER

Mount the hand shower on glide rail and attach to water supply. Tighten hose nuts sufﬁciently to slightly compress the urethane hose ends which act as gasket seals.
