More Details
Tracking and Positioning of Fittings
To reposition fittings vertically it is usually necessary to release a locking key on the side of the fitting prior to the fitting being moved. The locking key is then tightened to stabilise the fitting.
To reposition fittings horizontally, it may be necessary to release an allen key lock at the base of the tracking, then retighten the lock to stabilise the fitting.
A selection of specific tracking combinations enables fittings to be moved horizontally, horizontally and vertically or vertically only. Selection of tracking combinations can vary between individual fittings within the one bathroom setting.
Choice of horizontal and vertical tracking lengths available.
This system may enable fittings to be used within more than one activity within a bathroom setting, for example, a shower mixer may be moved horizontally along a track to be used in the shower, at the basin for hair washing or at the toilet as a bidet.
