How to install the round Versa Slide Bar Assembly?

NOTE: These instructions are intended for an older version of the Versa Round Slide Bar Assembly. The updated version now includes a mounting template for easier installation. For corresponding installation instructions, visit the Gerber website. However, the Troubleshooting tips below are applicable.

Tools You Will Need:

  • Flathead Screwdriver
  • Phillips Screwdriver
  • Marking Pencil
  • Drill
  • ¼” Drill Bit
Hardware Provided:
  • Mounting Screw
  • Plastic Anchor
  • Hex wrench
Installation Steps:

This product is packaged partially assembled. You will need to take some components apart to install.

INSTALL TOP SLIDE BAR POST

1. Remove cap. Using hex wrench (supplied), loosen set screw and remove the post from slide bar base (Fig 1).


2. Locate where you want to install the slide bar. Use the top post as a template and mark locations on the shower wall using a pencil (Fig 2).


3. Using the drill bit, carefully drill four holes.
TIP: INSTALL ONE POST, THEN ASSEMBLE SLIDE BAR AND CONFIRM HOLE POSITION OF SECOND POST BEFORE DRILLING (Fig 3).


4. Insert the plastic wall anchors into the four holes. You may need to tap them lightly into position with a hammer (Fig 4).


5. Secure post with mounting screws provided (Fig 5).


6. Place and hold the slide bar with slide body onto the post; it should "click" into place. Tighten the set screw with the supplied hex wrench, then press the cap (Fig 6).
NOTE: When installed correctly, the slide body will have screw holes located on the bottom side. See Fig 6.


7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the bottom of the slide bar (Fig 7).


8. Attach one hose conical to the water supply outlet (not included) and the other conical to the handshower (Fig 8).

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. How do I remove the flow restrictor/check valve from a handshower?

A:  If the water flow is restricted, there may be debris caught in your flow controller/check valve. Use the procedure outlined in the article "How do I remove the flow restrictor/check valve from a handshower?" to inspect and clean the flow controller/check valve.

2. What should I do if the sprayer will not stay in the holder?

A: If you look at the connectors they look the same:

If the holder is installed upside down

If the holder is installed correctly:

To know if your holder is installed correctly check for these screws. They should be on the bottom:

This is how it should sit:

 

3. How do I remove and replace the existing holder from the slide bar assembly?

A. To remove and replace the existing holder from the slide bar assembly, you will need to remove the cap from either end of the slide bar and remove the set screw using a hex key. Then, remove the base of the slide off of the wall-mounted “post” seen in the below drawing. Slide the hand shower holder off of the slide bar and replace it with the new replacement hand shower holder.

 

4. What should I do if the holder keeps turning and cannot stay straight upward?

If installation of the bracket is correct side up but your holder portion of the bracket keeps leaning forward and will not stay straight upward, remove the hand shower from the holder, and locate the rubber plug and tighten the screw behind it.
