Product Location
Hand rails are only as strong as the wall to which they are fixed and the
fixings that are used.
For different wall types you will need to ensure that you are using the
correct type of fixing for the material of the wall.
The addition of backboards on the outside of the wall or appropriate
strengthening of internal structures may be required to provide adequate wall
strength.
NOTE: If the wall is made of lightweight thermal blocks, aerated hollow
brickwork or prefabricated partitions even the most appropriate fixings may
not be able to withstand the loads which can be suddenly applied to hand
rails.
Fitting Instruction
-
Identify the most appropriate position for the foldaway handrail ensuring the product is at a comfortable height and distance from the toilet pan.
NOTE: When determining the most appropriate position for the foldaway rail ensure the leg is fully extended, resting on the floor and level. The leg extension height can be adjusted by removing the locking pins. Once the ideal height has been determined re-insert the locking pins to secure the legs in position (See Fig.1). -
The product can be folded upwards for more convenient storage so please ensure there is sufficient space above the fixing position to allow for this.
-
Place the handrail in position on the wall and using the hole centres located on the wall bracket as a template, mark the screw fixing positions on the wall surface ensuring the product is level.
-
Drill the holes in the marked positions using a masonry drill. If the product is to be fitted onto a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be used.
-
Insert wall plugs (if applicable) flush to the surface of the wall. If fitting to a tiled surface, the wall plugs should be inserted below the surface of the tile to avoid cracking (See Fig.1).
-
Insert the screws through the holes located on the wall bracket and screw to the wall.
IMPORTANT: Please take care to avoid trapping body parts when moving the rail between its stowed position and its in-use position.
Additional Information
This product must only be fitted to solid brick, concrete block walls or
similarly strong materials offering appropriate support for the maximum safe
working load.
The maximum safe working load for the handrail is 150kg.
