Installation Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for installing both the towel ring and the double towel bar. The general procedure is similar for both items.
Step 1: Prepare the Mounting Location
- Determine the desired location for your towel ring and towel bar. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for towels.
- Use a level and pencil to mark the exact mounting points on the wall. If an installation template is provided, tape it to the wall and mark through the designated holes.
Step 2: Install Mounting Brackets
- For Drywall Installation: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations using the recommended drill bit size for your drywall anchors. Insert the drywall anchors until flush with the wall surface.
- For Wood Stud Installation: Drill pilot holes directly into the wood stud at the marked locations.
- Position the mounting bracket over the installed anchors or pilot holes. Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws and a Phillips head screwdriver. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached and level.

Step 3: Attach the Fixture
- Align the towel ring or towel bar fixture with the installed mounting bracket.
- Secure the fixture to the mounting bracket using the small set screw located on the underside of the fixture's base. Use the provided hex wrench to tighten the set screw until the fixture is snug and does not wobble. Do not overtighten.

Care and Maintenance
To maintain the finish of your Moen Sage accessories, follow these guidelines:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or alcohol.
- Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fixture is loose or wobbly. | Set screw is not tightened sufficiently. Mounting bracket is not secure. | Tighten the set screw with the hex wrench. If still loose, remove the fixture and ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the wall. Re-tighten mounting screws or replace anchors if damaged. |
| Scratches or damage to finish. | Abrasive cleaning materials used. Impact from hard objects. | Use only soft cloths and non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects. Minor scratches may be buffed with a non-abrasive cloth, but deep scratches may require professional attention or replacement. |
