4. Installation Instructions
Tools required: Pencil, measuring tape, level, drill, drill bits (appropriate for wall anchors), screwdriver.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location on your wall, ensuring it is at a convenient height and clear of any electrical wires or plumbing. Use a level to mark the desired position for the mounting bracket.
- Mark Drill Holes: Place the mounting bracket against the wall at your marked location. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the two screw holes.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and anchors (if used), drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For drywall, insert wall anchors flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Mounting Bracket: Align the mounting bracket with the pilot holes. Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached and level.
- Mount Towel Ring: Slide the towel ring assembly onto the mounting bracket. The base of the towel ring should fit snugly over the bracket.
- Secure Towel Ring: Locate the small set screw on the underside of the towel ring's base. Use the provided hex wrench to tighten this set screw. This will secure the towel ring to the mounting bracket, preventing it from rotating or detaching. Do not overtighten.
- Final Check: Gently pull on the towel ring to ensure it is securely mounted to the wall.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
To maintain the finish and appearance of your Phylrich towel ring, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.

- Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, ammonia-based products, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Periodically check the set screw on the underside of the base to ensure it remains tight. Tighten with the hex wrench if necessary.
