Towel Bar Installation

towel bar installation instructions

In Panel (3), the instruction author (or LLM) refers to the set screw with the proper name. Panel (4) has “setting screw”, and additionally gets the verb tense wrong.

Again with the corporate-speak use of “the product”! Have some respect for both your co-workers and the English language, don’t use “the product” as a form of pronoun that fails to distinguish between very different classes of items.

I enjoy the depiction of screwdriver and Allen wrench as tiny in comparison to the pieces of mounting hardware. In reality, both are quite large relative to the fixed base disc and get in the way of seeing what you’re doing during installation.

This isn’t so inscrutable, but note that the instructions have you putting the set screw in from the bottom, with an Allen wrench. This is extraordinarily difficult to do. In order to avoid camming out of the hexagonal hole in the set screw, the Allen wrench has to fit very tightly. That makes it difficult to both insert the Allen wrench in the set screw, and to remove it after you make at most half a turn. Removing the wrench from the screw head usually backs the screw out an eight turn. Doing it upside down increases the difficulty substantially. Use a Phillips, Robertson square slot or Torx head on set screws, I beg you!
