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.
