  1. DIY PROJECT - LVAD SHOWER BAG HOOK-UP

  2. TIME: UNDER 1 HOUR • DIFFICULTY: EASY / MODERATE • PRICE RANGE: UNDER $20 AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE • IN THIS PROJECT, I WILL OUTLINE THE STEPS SPECIFIC TO MY APPLICATION – THE MATERIALS AND TOOLS I USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF GIVING YOU AN IDEA. • MAYBE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO GET DESIRED OUTCOME FOR YOUR SITUATION. • PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE IT ISN'T TOO DIFFICULT OF A TASK TO INSTALL CEILING HOOKS, YOU DO HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE RIGHT ONES, THE RIGHT WAY, SO THAT YOU DON'T RISK INJURING YOURSELF OR ESPECIALLY YOUR LOVED ONES SHOULD THE CEILING HOOK NOT HOLD AND FALL. • TOOLS USED: TAPE MEASURE PENCIL MARKER STUD FINDER STEP LADDER DRILL AUGER BIT

  3. I BOUGHT THESE AT A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE (LOWES) • PICTURES ARE FOR VISUAL AID ONLY AND DO NOT INDICATE ACTUAL MATERIALS BOUGHT BUT ARE VERY SIMILAR • MATERIALS LISTED – I ONLY USED AND RECOMMEND INDUSTRIAL GRADE OR HEAVY DUTY MATERIALS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS • 1. TOGGLE BOLT IF STUD NOT AVAILABLE, ANCHOR NEEDED. 2. EYE BOLT (MATCHING ANCHOR DIA) • 3. CARABINER BUNGEE CORD

  4. STEP BY STEP • DETERMINE CEILING HOOK MOUNT LOCATION • WORKING ON A 4’ X 4’ SHOWER STALL WITH SLIDING DOOR • STANDING OUTSIDE THE SHOWER STALL - SHOWER HEAD FACING TO THE RIGHT • LVAD DRIVELINE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BODY • CEILING HOOK MOUNT NEEDED TO BE ON THE CENTER OF THE RIGHT QUADRANT OF THE CEILING • DIVIDE CEILING INTO 9 EQUAL QUADRANTS – SEE DIAGRAM • MARK SPOT ON CENTER OF LOWER MIDDLE QUADRANT • IF STUD IS NOT FOUND IN THE VICINITY OF THE SPOT • USE INDUSTRIAL GRADE ANCHOR • I PREFER TOGGLE ANCHORS AS THEY ARE MORE SECURE • YOU MAY NEED TO USE WASHER TO COVER DRILLED HOLE FOR A MORE “PROFESSIONAL” LOOK • DRILL • USE CORRECT DRILL BIT FOR ANCHOR YOU WILL USE • AS MENTIONED, I USED AN AUGER DRILL BIT FOR THE TOGGLE BOLT AND WASHER • ASSEMBLE THE EYE HOOK AND ANCHOR BEFORE INSERTING INTO HOLE • AS YOU TIGHTEN THE BOLT, ANCHOR WILL SPREAD OUT INSIDE • CLIP ON INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH BUNGEE CORD USING CARABINER HOOKS FOR EASY MOUNT AND DISMOUNT • ADJUST LENGTH AS NECESSARY • IF CORD IS LONGER THAN NEEDED, IT CAN ALWAYS BE DOUBLE LOOPED TO MAKE IT SHORTER IN LENGTH

  5. Heartmate gogear shower bag Before install after install It is very important that the shower bag mounted to the bungee cord IS high enough that the driveline loop from the exit site to the bag is higher. You don’t want water to seep in to the bag via gravity
