Why Choose the B-5806x36?

ADA Standards §604.5 require grab bars in every accessible toilet stall, and §608.3 covers accessible shower compartments — making them a code requirement in virtually every commercial, healthcare, and institutional facility. The Bobrick B-5806x36 is the 36-inch variant of Bobrick's 1-1/4" concealed-mount grab bar series. At 36" (914 mm), it's the minimum required length for the rear wall of a standard ADA-accessible toilet stall per §604.5.2 — the most commonly specified grab bar length in commercial construction. 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. For high-traffic healthcare and heavy-duty applications, see the B-6806 series (1-1/2" diameter). As a Bobrick Premier Partner, TotalRestroom.com carries the full B-5806 line with a Low Price Guarantee and 48-Hour QuickShip on stocked sizes.

Key Features & Applications

• 900-lb Load Rating with Concealed Mounting: Exceeds ADA structural stress requirements, supporting up to 900 lbs (408 kg) of downward load when anchored into proper structural backing. Snap-on flange covers fully conceal mounting hardware for a clean, professional appearance with no exposed fasteners.

• Type 304 Satin Stainless — Built for Commercial Cleaning: The satin finish on 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel resists corrosion, hides fingerprints, and cleans easily with commercial-grade disinfectants, bleach solutions, and hospital-grade cleaners. Standard specification for commercial restrooms, offices, and light institutional settings.

• The Required ADA Toilet Rear-Wall Bar: At 36" (914 mm), this is the minimum required length for the rear wall of a standard ADA-accessible toilet stall per §604.5.2. It must be mounted between 33"–36" above the finished floor. This is one of the two core bars required in every accessible toilet stall — pair it with a 42" side-wall bar to complete the ADA requirement.

• 1-1/4" vs. 1-1/2" Diameter — Which Do You Need? The B-5806 at 1-1/4" is the standard choice for lower-traffic commercial settings, offices, and light institutional projects where a slimmer profile is preferred. For healthcare facilities, high-traffic environments, and projects where maximum grip surface is a priority, the B-6806 (1-1/2") is the recommended upgrade. Both diameters fully satisfy ADA §609.2 graspability requirements.

Satin vs. Peened — Which Finish Do You Need?

The B-5806x36 (satin) is the standard choice for commercial restrooms, offices, and any application where appearance is a priority. The smooth satin surface cleans easily and matches virtually any restroom hardware finish.

The B-5806.99x36 (peened) has a textured surface for improved wet-hand grip — preferred for showers, pool facilities, locker rooms, and anywhere users regularly have wet or soapy hands. Both versions are identical in diameter, gauge, load rating, and mounting system.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this grab bar come with mounting hardware? No — mounting hardware is not included because wall construction varies widely (concrete block, steel stud, wood framing, tile backer). We recommend #14 sheet metal screws or 1/4" wood screws into structural backing rated for 250 lbs minimum — never into drywall alone.

• Does ADA require a 36" grab bar? Yes — ADA §604.5.2 requires the rear-wall bar in a standard accessible toilet stall to be at least 36" long, positioned between 33"–36" above the finished floor. The B-5806x36 meets this requirement exactly. For a complete accessible stall, pair it with a 42" side bar — see our Bobrick ADA Grab Bar Kit.

• What is the difference between the B-5806 (1-1/4") and B-6806 (1-1/2")? The B-5806 at 1-1/4" diameter is the standard commercial choice for offices, light institutional settings, and lower-traffic facilities. The B-6806 at 1-1/2" diameter is the heavy-duty option preferred for healthcare facilities, high-traffic commercial environments, and projects where maximum grip surface is specified. Both fully satisfy ADA §609.2 graspability requirements (allowable range is 1-1/4" to 2").

• Is the B-5806x36 ADA compliant? Yes. The 1-1/4" diameter meets ADA §609.2 graspability requirements, and the 1-1/2" wall clearance meets §609.3. When installed at correct mounting heights per §604.5 or §608.3, this bar satisfies ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

• Can this bar be mounted horizontally, vertically, or at an angle? Yes — the B-5806 can be installed in any orientation. ADA §604.5 specifies horizontal bars for toilet applications; §608.3 covers shower orientations. Verify the required orientation with your applicable building code before installation.
