(This style seat has four (4) adjustable height legs)

• 1/4” Power Drill
• 1/8” drill bit when drilling through fi berglass

• #2 Phillips Screw Driver and/or Phillips drill insert

These primary instructions are for installing the seat onto a CERAMIC TILED WALL. The tiles wall must be
properly constructed so as to be rigid. In addition, it is MANDATORY that wood reinforcements be installed to
the framing studs behind the wall board and tile to provide a solid mounting surface when fastening the seat to
the wall.
(If your seat is without swing down legs, you will skip step 2. For step 1, you will still want to install the seat in
the 17” to 19” height from the fl oor)
1) Choose the height of the seat you want. Barrier Free style showers will typically have fold up seat in-
stalled at 17” to 19” height.
2) After selecting the height you desire, adjust each of the four legs to that height while maintaining the seat
in a level position. Lock each of the lock nuts.
3) Place the seat against the wall of the shower where you want the seat to be located. Seat may be cen-
tered on the wall for a Barrier Free installation.
4) With the seat placed against the mounting wall, position the two hinges to the wall. Using a pencil, mark
the three holes (3) holes in the fl ange onto the wall for each hinge. Remove seat from wall.
Note: When installing the seat onto a Ceramic Tiled wall, prior to drilling the three (3) mounting holes
for each fl ange that you previously marked, use a center punch and lightly chip a small hole in the center
of each of the three hole locations. (For drilling holes through tile, you require a 1/4” Carbide tipped drill
bit). Only drill through the tile and base materials.
DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THE BACKING.
5) Using a power drill with a 1/4” diameter Carbide bit, drill through the wall tile the three (3) mounting
holes for each fl ange.
6) Apply silicone caulking around and inside each drilled hole before installing the seat.
7) Place the seat against the mounting wall with each hinge aligned to the mounting holes. Utilizing the six
(6) #10 x 2” Stainless Steel screws, place a Phillips screw driver into your power drill and securely tighten
each of the six (6) screws.
