Installation Instructions
The Allied Brass P1041/36 Towel Bar is designed for wall-mounted installation with concealed screws for a clean appearance.
Step 1: Select Mounting Location. Choose a suitable location on your wall. Use a level and pencil to mark the desired height and horizontal position for the mounting plates. Ensure the marks are 36 inches apart, center to center, for proper alignment of the towel bar.
Step 2: Prepare Mounting Holes. Hold one mounting plate against the wall at your marked location. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole positions. Repeat for the second mounting plate. Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. If installing into drywall, insert wall anchors into the pilot holes.
Step 3: Attach Mounting Plates. Align the mounting plates with the drilled holes (or anchors). Secure each plate to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure the plates are firmly attached and level.
Step 4: Attach Towel Bar. Slide the towel bar assembly onto the attached mounting plates. The concealed screw design will allow the bar to sit flush against the wall, covering the mounting hardware. Secure the towel bar to the mounting plates using the small set screws, typically located on the underside of the mounting posts. Tighten gently with an Allen wrench (if provided) or a small screwdriver until snug.
Step 5: Final Check. Gently tug on the installed towel bar to ensure it is securely fastened to the wall. Wipe away any pencil marks or fingerprints.
Operation
This towel bar is designed to hold towels and other lightweight bathroom textiles. Distribute weight evenly across the bar to prevent undue stress on the mounting points.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the finish and appearance of your Allied Brass towel bar, follow these guidelines:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Periodically check mounting screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
