Construction
Grab Bar is type-304,18-8, 18 gauge stainless steel tubing. Tubing is 1-1/4" outside diameter. Ends are heliarc welded to concealed mounting flanges. Concealed mounting flanges are 18-8, type 304, 11 gauge thick stainless steel plate that are 2" x 3-1/8" with holes for attachment to wall. Intermediate flanges are 2-5/8" x 3-1/8" x 3-1/8". The snap flange covers snap over the mounting flange to conceal mounting screws. They are 18-8, type 304, 22 gauge stainless steel with satin finish, 3-1/4" x 5/8" deep.
All exposed surfaces are Satin Finish Stainless Steel. Optional non-slip peened surface denoted on part number ending with P (peened).
Bobrick grab bars that provide 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from wall can support loads in excess of 900 pounds (408kg) if properly installed. Other grab bar
configurations can support loads in excess of 250 pounds (113kg) if properly installed, complying with accessible design (including ADAAG in the U.S.A.) for
structural strength.
*Grab bars are no stronger than the anchors and walls to which they are attached and must be firmly secured in order to support the loads for which they are intended.
Installation
Provide concealed anchor device or backing as specified or required in accordance with local building codes before wall is finished. Fasten concealed mounting
flanges to anchor device or backing with at least two screws opposing each other in each flange. Snap flange covers over each mounting flange to conceal mounting
screws. Concealed anchor devices and mounting screws are not included.
For Mounting Kit options, see Accessories listed below.
For Grab Bars with an Intermediate Flange(s), Pull Snap-Flange Covers away from mounting flanges. Place grab bar in desired mounting location. Use
intermediate flange as a template to mark location of mounting screws at intermediate flange only. Mark screw locations at the center of the slot in the middle
of the double-keyhole shaped mounting holes (2) in the intermediate flange. Remove grab bar from wall. Drive the intermediate flange mounting screws into
wall at marked locations. Note: Make sure to leave a space of just over 1/8'' (3.17mm) between the underside of the screw head and the wall. Install grab
bar on the wall by placing the round ends of the intermediate flange double-keyhole shaped mounting holes over the mounting screws (2) are located in the
middle of the flange slots. Install the mounting screws into the wall at the end flanges and secure tightly. Tighten the mounting screws at the intermediate
flange. Press all snap-flange covers into place to conceal mounting flanges.
Note: Recommend use of 1/4'' or #14 sheet metal or wood screws to install Intermediate Flange. #12 screws may also be used.
Clearance between the grab bar and wall is 1-1/2".
For compliance with ADA Accessibility Guidelines install
unit so that the top of the grab bar is 33" minimum above finished floor (AFF) to 36" maximum
AFF.
