LOCATION: To ensure adequate clearance, a stud finder should be used to verify that there are no studs within the area that the
WingIt will be installed.
1. Verify the length of the grab bar, by
measuring from the inside of one grab
bar flange to the outside of the other. This
should give you the proper dimension.
continued . . .
2. Use a 1/8" (3mm)
drill or punch to
make a starter/
pilot hole. Once the
first pilot hole is
drilled check your
measurement to the
other hole.
3. Carefully drill a
1-1/4" (30mm) hole
in the wall precisely
at the center point
where each grab bar
flange will align. In
Ceramic Tile a piece
of masking tape over
the tile helps the
drill bite into the tile. For Ceramic Tile an
Industrial Grade Carbide Tip Hole should
be used.
4. A Sandvick Carbide tipped Hole Saw
[Available through WingIt – with 3/8"
(9mm) arbor], will drill a 1-1/4" (30mm)
hole at slow speeds in a matter of seconds
and remain sharp for 30–80 holes,
depending on the tile.
5. After the initial 1-1/4"
(30mm) hole is made
through the tile, stop,
and eject the tile from
the drill bit.
6. Then carefully finish
the 1-1/4" (30mm) hole
through the drywall. Do
not push the drill. Allow
it to cut, keeping the
drywall intact behind
the wall.

8. Measure
the thickness
of the wall by
inserting a
tape measure
into the 1-1/4"
(30mm)
hole. If the wall thickness is under 1-1/2"
(40mm) you can use the standard
WingIt – if above 1-1/2" (40mm) call for
custom product with longer screw.
