Slide Rail installation instructions

 

Installing a slide rail in your shower is not a difficult task and can be easily accomplished by most people with some basic tools. Please take your time when installing a slide rail shower. Position the slide rail carefully before drilling into your wall. Make sure the hole you drill is sized for the drywall anchor you are using (some slide rail sets may contain different sized screws and anchors, double check before drilling!) Do not try to drill all the holes at one time, take it in steps to make sure all holes are spaced properly.

 

ISA Yoga and ISA Igloo Slide Rails

ISA Yoga & Igloo Slide Rails (Igloo Slide Rail mounts look different than the Yoga Slide Rail mounts, but the installation is almost exactly the same.)

1. You'll need an 8mm (5/16") drill bit to install the ISA Yoga, ISA VIP, ISA Elite and the ISA Igloo Slide Rail Shower sets. When drilling through ceramic tile and other hard wall surfaces, you'll need a 'ceramic' or 'masonry' bit. (Please note on the picture below, the white plastic stud coming out of the back of the wall bracket needs to be cut or broken off. Not all Yoga sets will have this stud.)

2. On the Yoga sets, use long screw to push plug out of wall bracket from the back side of the bracket. On the Igloo sets, the top and bottom knobs slide off.

3. Position slide bar to the height and location that you want it and mark top hole only.

4. Drill top hole and insert drywall anchor. (See below for other mounting anchor options.)

5. Screw top bracket loosely onto wall and making sure bar is straight and vertical, mark bottom hole.

6. Drill bottom hole and insert drywall anchor.

7. Before tightening bar onto wall, use plumber's putty or silicone sealant on back side of the wall spacers to prevent water from getting into the screw holes. Do not overtighten screws.

8. Hand tighten hose onto water supply and handshower. 

9. Wait until sealant has dried before showering.

10. Yoke tension can be adjusted (not usually necessary) by sliding off the side buttons and tightening or loosening the screws on either side.

 In addition to a slide rail shower set, you may also want a standard wall shower. This gives you the option of using either shower head whenever you want. All you need is a diverter valve.

 

 

Here are 2 alternative anchors to use instead of the drywall anchors included with your slide rail shower set. Both offer a greater degree of holding strength compared to plastic drywall anchors, but we have had 1000's of customers use the standard drywall anchor bolts without problems. Please keep in mind, no matter what type of anchor you use, slide rail bars are not safety grab bars.
