The \u003cb\u003eBobrick B-5806x18\u003c\/b\u003e is the 18-inch variant of Bobrick's 1-1\/4\" concealed-mount grab bar series. At 18\" (457 mm), it's one of the most versatile lengths in the line — commonly specified for ADA shower side walls, transfer shower compartments, and supplemental support positions. The 1-1\/4\" (32 mm) diameter is ADA-compliant and is the preferred specification for lower-traffic commercial settings, light institutional use, and projects where a slightly slimmer profile is specified.
