Bobrick B-6806.99X12 1-1/2" Diameter Straight Grab Bar (Peened)

1-1/2″ (38mm) diameter tubing. Satin-Finish, slip-resistant surface stainless steel grab bar for bath/shower/toilet compartment. Snap Flange. Add .99 for peened surface. 

Why Choose This Model?

This 12-inch grab bar features a specialized Peened Non-Slip Grip, making it the superior choice for showers, tub compartments, and wet environments in hospitals and senior care facilities. Unlike smooth bars which can become slippery when wet, the textured surface provides maximum friction and stability, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls for users with limited mobility.

Key Features & Applications

• Enhanced Safety Grip: The peened (textured) surface offers superior traction compared to standard satin bars, ensuring a secure hold even when hands are wet or soapy.

• Maximum Strength: Exceeds ADA structural stress requirements, capable of supporting up to 900 lbs (408 kg) of downward load when installed into proper structural backing.

• Hygienic & Durable: Constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 Stainless Steel. The concealed mounting flanges hide unsightly screws for a clean, modern look that is easy to sanitize.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does ".99" or "Peened" mean? "Peened" refers to the textured safety grip on the center of the bar. It is a slightly rough, non-slip texture that improves graspability, especially in wet areas like showers.

• Does this come with mounting hardware? No. Because wall conditions vary widely (drywall, concrete block, tile, etc.), mounting screws are not included. We recommend using #14 sheet metal screws or 1/4" wood screws compatible with your specific wall backing.

• Is this bar ADA compliant? Yes. The 1-1/2” diameter and required clearances meet ADA Accessibility Guidelines, while the peened texture provides additional slip resistance for wet environments.
