Installing your Towel Rail
Always choose a safe location for the Towel Rail, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before
use.
WALL PREPARATION
Goldair Heated Towel Rails may be fixed to any type of timber stud, steel stud or
masonry (solid or cavity) wall.
Walls made from timber or steel require studs at the correct position for all rails. If the
precise position
can’t
be determined early in the job, consider sheets of 18mm
construction ply, covering a larger area.
This rail has a small footprint against the wall. The wire holes and mounting holes must
be drilled neatly and accurately.
For drilling through hard materials such as porcelain tiles, marble, granite etc. an
appropriate drill bit must be used.
No responsibility will be taken by Goldair for instances where installers drill incorrectly.
NOTE: Attempting to fix into plasterboard or cement sheeting alone is not
recommended. Plasterboard in particular will not hold long term.
PRE WIRING
NOTE: Only drill holes when you are 100% sure of your measurements.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with
the wiring guidelines AS/NZS 3000:2007.
Provision should be made for a Timer to control the mains supply. It is recommended
that a Timer is used for energy saving purposes. Goldair recommend a Goldair Heated
Towel Rail Timer (GBT100
–
not supplied).
WALL MOUNTED TOWEL RAILS ARE ONLY TO BE MOUNTED ON HEAT
RESISTANT WALLS THAT COMPLY WITH
CURRENT
AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS &
BUILDING REGULATIONS
WARNING:
