1. Prepare the Handshower Bracket
NOTE: This accessory should not be installed in the area 24″ (61 cm)
to 48″ (121.9 cm) from the floor (the critical support area as defined
in ASTM F446).
Press the tab, and separate the housing from the bracket.
Position the bracket on the finished wall, and mark the top and
bottom hole locations.
Drill a 3/16″ hole through the tile only to mount directly to a
stud.
If a stud cannot be located, drill a 3/8″ hole.
2. Install the Anchors
Press and hold the legs of a wall anchor (provided) together and
insert the wall anchor legs into the hole. Insert a wall anchor into
each pre-drilled mounting hole.
With a hammer, carefully tap each wall anchor until they are
flush with the finished surface.
If the wall anchor was inserted into a space between the studs, it
will be necessary to spread the wall anchor legs.
To spread the anchor legs, insert a thin long object, such as a
finishing nail, into the wall anchor hole.
