Installation Instructions

Please check the contents of the Omnipanel carton to be sure you have received
all of the parts required for your particular model. Runtal has made every effort to
insure that all of the materials required for mounting your Omnipanel have been
included, and depending upon your specific installation conditions, you may have
parts left over. The Omnipanel mounting system has been designed for installation
by one person, but you may find an assistant helpful.

The plumber should determine the piping configuraton for the Omnipanel.

Drywall construction may require metal wall anchors (part B). Solid wood or
placement directly onto blocking will require only the #8 x 1

1

/

2 long screws (part

A). Omnipanels are very sturdy construction, and care should be taken that they
are properly and securely hung using all four mounting points.

Be sure to drill the mounting holes in the middle of the mounting brackets marks.
Use of metal anchors will require

5

/

16” holes while use of #8 x 1

1

/

2 long screws will

require

1

/

16” holes.

For proper installation, the
placement of wall brackets and
the water hook-up must be
exact. The diagrams at the right
show the placement of the four
mounting brackets for all models.
The positioning of the mounting
hardware may be completed by:

1. Measuring out the dimensions

2. Asking an assistant to hold the
unit to the wall while you trace
the four mounting posts, or

3. Making a template by placing the Omnipanel onto a posterboard or large piece
of the Omnipanel carton and tracing the mounting posts. The template is then
taped to the wall.

Using the appropriate fastener, attach the four “L“ brackets (part C) to the wall.
Be sure that the grooves in these brackets are facing down. Once positioned, the
“L” brackets should be tightly secured.

Once the hex screw and nut are loosely positioned, simply slide the Omnipanel onto
the wall brackets, and tighten the hex screws with the hex wrench (part E).

Slip a grooved nut (part G) inside one of the
brackets on the back of the Omnipanel (making
sure the grooves on the nut are facing up). Loosely
screw the hex screw (part F) into this nut, and
repeat on all four brackets. Then on all models,
slide the four plastic sleeves (part D) over the
Omnipanel brackets. Use of sleeves is optional,
but they provide a finished, flush appearance on
uneven walls. If the installation has a good, flat
surface, use of the sleeves may not be desired.

Maintenance Instructions

The Omnipanel’s painted finish provides an elegant yet durable finish to this
welded steel product. Occasional cleaning (minimum annually) of this finish is
best done with a water dampened cloth. Under no circumstances should abrasive
cleaners, cloths, or pads be used. It is also important to keep a record of the exact
color of your Omnipanel as Runtal normally has touch up paint available.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
