Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your Bobrick 6707 Stainless Steel Surface Mounted Utility Hook. Designed for durability and functionality, this utility hook is suitable for various applications, including holding robes, shoe-shine cloths, and sanitary napkin disposal bags. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure optimal performance and longevity of the product.
Setup and Installation
The Bobrick 6707 utility hook is designed for surface mounting. Proper installation is crucial for stability and safety. The unit features a concealed mounting bracket and wall plate system.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Select a suitable wall location that can support the hook and its intended load. Ensure the surface is clean and structurally sound.
- Position Wall Plate: The hook's concealed 16-gauge (1.6mm) wall plate must be securely fastened to the wall. Mark the desired mounting points for the wall plate.
- Secure Wall Plate: Use appropriate fasteners (not included, consult local building codes) to firmly attach the wall plate to the marked location. Ensure it is level and stable.
- Attach Mounting Bracket: The 16-gauge (1.6mm) concealed mounting bracket, integrated with the hook's flange and support arm, slides onto the secured wall plate.
- Tighten Setscrew: Once the hook assembly is correctly positioned on the wall plate, secure it using the provided stainless steel setscrew. This setscrew typically tightens from the underside or side of the flange to lock the unit in place.
- Verify Stability: Gently pull on the installed hook to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not wobble.
Operating Instructions
The Bobrick 6707 Utility Hook is designed for straightforward use. Simply hang items such as robes, towels, shoe-shine cloths, or sanitary napkin disposal bags directly onto the hook. Ensure that the weight of the items does not exceed the structural capacity of the wall or the hook's mounting.
Maintenance
To maintain the satin finish and integrity of your stainless steel utility hook, follow these simple cleaning guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the hook regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or strong chemical solutions (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, dry the hook thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the satin luster.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws and setscrew for tightness. Tighten if necessary to ensure the hook remains securely fastened.
Troubleshooting
Most issues with a utility hook are related to installation or excessive load. Refer to the following common scenarios:
- Hook feels loose or wobbly: This indicates that the mounting screws or the setscrew may not be sufficiently tightened. Re-check the installation steps and tighten all fasteners securely. If the wall material is compromised, consider relocating the hook or reinforcing the mounting area.
- Hook appears damaged or bent: This is typically caused by exceeding the hook's weight capacity or impact. The hook is made of durable stainless steel, but extreme force can cause deformation. If damaged, the hook should be replaced to ensure safety and functionality.
