Why Choose This Model?

This 18-inch grab bar is a critical safety component for accessible commercial restrooms, hospitals, and nursing homes. Designed to meet strict building codes, its heavy-duty construction provides stability and support for users in ADA stalls, shower compartments, and near toilets, helping to prevent slips and falls in wet environments.

Key Features & Applications

• 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 Finish: Constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 Stainless Steel with a satin finish, which resists corrosion, hides fingerprints, and is easy to sanitize.

• Concealed Mounting: Features snap-over stainless steel flanges that completely hide the mounting screws, providing a clean, modern look that prevents dirt and bacteria buildup around the fasteners.

Frequently Asked Questions

• 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 1-1/2" wall clearance fully meet ADA Accessibility Guidelines for graspability and structural strength.

• What is the difference between 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" diameter? This model is 1-1/2" diameter, which is the standard "heavy duty" size often preferred for maximum grip surface in commercial and healthcare settings. (1-1/4" is slightly thinner and often used in residential or lighter-traffic areas).
