2.1 Tools Required
- Pencil
- Measuring Tape
- Level
- Drill with appropriate drill bits (e.g., 1/4 inch for drywall anchors)
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
- Hammer (for drywall anchors)
2.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Mounting Location: Choose the desired location for each item. Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing pipes behind the wall where you plan to drill. Use a level and pencil to mark the exact mounting points for the brackets.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using the appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., 1/4 inch for drywall anchors), drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Install Wall Anchors (if necessary): If drilling into drywall, gently tap the provided wall anchors into the pilot holes with a hammer until flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Mounting Brackets: Position the mounting brackets over the installed anchors or directly over the pilot holes (if drilling into studs). Secure the brackets to the wall using the provided screws and a screwdriver. Ensure they are firmly attached.
- Attach Fixtures:
- Towel Bar: Slide the decorative bases of the towel bar onto the mounted brackets. Secure them in place using the small set screws located on the underside of each base. Tighten with an Allen wrench (if provided) or a small screwdriver.
- Towel Ring, Toilet Paper Holder, Robe Hook: Place the fixture over its corresponding mounting bracket. Secure it by tightening the set screw, typically found on the underside of the base, with an Allen wrench or small screwdriver.
- Test Stability: Gently pull on each installed item to ensure it is securely fastened to the wall.

4. Care and Maintenance
To maintain the finish and appearance of your Mainstays Bath Set, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or bleach, as these can damage the oil-rubbed bronze finish.
- Drying: Always dry the fixtures immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and set screws to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary to prevent wobbling or detachment.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your bath set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Fixture is Loose or Wobbly:
- Solution: Check the set screw(s) on the underside of the fixture's base. Tighten them with an Allen wrench or small screwdriver. If the entire mounting bracket is loose, carefully remove the fixture and tighten the screws securing the bracket to the wall. Ensure wall anchors are properly seated if used.
- Finish Appears Dull or Stained:
- Solution: Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the oil-rubbed bronze finish.
- Toilet Paper Holder Spindle Does Not Fit:
- Solution: Ensure the spindle is correctly compressed and aligned with the holes in the holder arms. It is designed to be spring-loaded for easy insertion and removal.
