Why Choose the B-6806x30?

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-6806x30 is the 30-inch variant in Bobrick's most widely specified concealed-mount grab bar series. At 30" (762 mm), it bridges the gap between standard shower bar lengths and full toilet stall requirements — commonly used for shower side walls, wider stall supplemental support, and custom ADA layouts where 24" is too short but 36" won't fit. The satin finish on 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel holds up to daily commercial disinfection without corroding. As a Bobrick Premier Partner, TotalRestroom.com carries the full B-6806 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 finish.

• 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 healthcare, hospitality, and institutional restrooms.

• The Mid-Length Option for Showers and Custom Layouts: At 30" (762 mm), this bar is ideal for shower side walls, transfer shower applications, and custom ADA layouts where a 24" bar is too short but a 36" bar won't fit within the available wall space. Note: ADA §604.5.2 requires a minimum 36" rear-wall bar for standard accessible toilet stalls — the 30" bar is used for shower and supplemental positions, not as the primary toilet rear-wall bar.

• USA Manufacturing and Long-Term Parts Availability: Bobrick manufactures the B-6806 series domestically, ensuring consistent quality and reliable lead times. Replacement flanges and mounting hardware are stocked separately — built to be serviceable for the life of the facility.

Satin vs. Peened — Which Finish Do You Need?

The B-6806x30 (satin) is the standard choice for commercial restrooms, offices, healthcare corridors, and any application where appearance is a priority. The smooth satin surface cleans easily and matches virtually any restroom hardware finish.

The B-6806.99x30 (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.

• Can I use a 30" grab bar for an ADA toilet stall rear wall? No — ADA §604.5.2 requires the rear-wall bar in a standard accessible toilet stall to be at least 36" long. A 30" bar can be used in shower applications or supplemental positions but does not satisfy the rear-wall toilet stall requirement. For a complete accessible stall, see our Bobrick ADA Grab Bar Kit.

• Is the B-6806x30 ADA compliant? Yes. The 1-1/2" 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.

• What is the difference between 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" diameter? The B-6806 at 1-1/2" diameter is the heavy-duty commercial standard, preferred for healthcare, high-traffic facilities, and projects requiring maximum grip surface. The B-5806 at 1-1/4" is used in lower-traffic commercial or light institutional settings. Both meet ADA graspability requirements.

• Can this bar be mounted horizontally, vertically, or at an angle? Yes — the B-6806 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.
