Frequently Asked Questions

What does “.99” or “Peened” mean? “Peened” refers to a lightly textured gripping surface that helps improve control, particularly in areas exposed to water or frequent hand moisture.

Should I choose peened or smooth? Peened grab bars are commonly specified for moisture-prone environments where added grip texture is desired, while smooth bars provide a streamlined appearance ideal for general restroom applications.

Does this include mounting hardware? No. Fasteners must be selected based on wall construction and local building requirements.

Is this ADA compliant? Yes — when installed in accordance with ADA guidelines and mounted to proper structural backing.

Why choose 1-1/4” vs 1-1/2”? A 1-1/4” diameter offers a slimmer grasping surface while still meeting ADA requirements for accessible installations.
