Measurements and reference guide

Before drilling, you must determine the correct distance from the front edge of the tub based on your tub's width. Measure 65 inches (165 cm) above the ledge of the tub on both sides to establish the height.

Reference Guide:

• For 52 inch - 60 inch tub openings: 5 inch (13 cm) distance from front edge.
• For 61 inch - 66 inch tub openings: 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) distance from front edge.
• For 67 inch - 72 inch tub openings: 8 inch (20 cm) distance from front edge.

Installation steps

1. Measurements: Lay out components on a soft surface. Measure 65 inches (165 cm) above the tub ledge. Use the reference guide to mark the drilling position from the front edge of the tub.
2. Position top anchors: Drill a hole into the wall or tile at the marked spot using a 3/16 inch (5 mm) drill bit. Gently tap the anchor into the hole until flush.
3. Position bottom anchors: Align the top hole of the plastic support with the installed anchor. Mark the bottom hole through the support, ensuring it is straight. Drill the bottom hole and install the anchor.
4. Install brackets: Place the bracket over the plastic support (ensure it points outwards). Secure using the large screws into the anchors. Repeat for both sides.
5. Install rod: Insert the smaller rod (B) into the larger rod (A) with the smaller rod on the right. Position the rod over the brackets and secure using the small screws.
