Same day installation
STEP 1
Locate studs and mark fixing position on wall.
STEP 2
Drill screw holes to a depth of 45 to 50 mm and lightly fix wall flange in position.
STEP 3
Trial fit elbow to wall flange, then measure and cut aluminium rail allowing 1 mm for thickness of each dress ring. The rib in the dress ring is off centre – the larger side should be fitted over the rail.
STEP 4
Assemble elbows to rail, trial fit to wall flanges, align locking pin holes, then remove.
STEP 5
Finally, tighten wall flange and refit exposed ends of elbows into wall flanges. Insert the locking pins.
When measuring and cutting rail, allow for the following:
GR01 – 60mm (30mm each end)
GR0C – 70mm (30mm + 40mm for cut off base)
GR02/90 – 30mm from the rail on each side
GR02/45 – 30mm from the rail on each side
GR02/30 – 30mm from the rail on each side
GR0CD – 90mm from the rail on each side
Note: these allowances are a guide only and all measurements should be checked on site. – ensure end of pin is engaged in the other side before tapping or pressing home with multigrips.
