We recommend #14 sheet metal screws or 1\/4\" wood screws into structural backing rated for 250 lbs minimum — never into drywall alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does \"peened\" mean on a grab bar?\u003c\/b\u003e Peened refers to a surface treatment that creates a textured, dimpled finish on the stainless steel. This texture provides significantly better grip than a smooth satin finish when hands are wet or soapy — making it the preferred specification for showers, pool facilities, and wet-area applications. The structural specs are identical to the satin version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs a 12\" grab bar long enough for ADA compliance?\u003c\/b\u003e A 12\" bar can be ADA compliant depending on placement, but ADA §604.5 specifies minimum lengths for primary bars in accessible toilet stalls: 42\" minimum for the side wall, 36\" minimum for the rear wall. The 12\" B-6806.99 is used as a supplemental or secondary bar, not the primary accessible stall bar.
