Why Choose the Bradley 8122-001360?

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 Bradley 8122-001360 is the peened-finish, 36-inch variant of Bradley's 812 Series. The peened texture creates a tactile surface that provides enhanced grip for wet-hand applications — the preferred finish for showers, aquatic facilities, pool locker rooms, and wet-area applications. Like all 812 Series bars, the tubing ends are welded through the flanges for maximum structural integrity. As an authorized Bradley Low Price Guarantee dealer, TotalRestroom.com carries the full 8122 line with the Bradex® program shipping in 3 business days on standard sizes.

Key Features & Applications

• Required ADA Toilet Rear-Wall Bar with Peened Finish: 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. The peened finish is commonly specified for healthcare, rehabilitation, and wet-area restrooms where enhanced grip is a clinical or safety priority.

• Welded Construction for Maximum Strength: The Bradley 8122 passes bar ends through 12-gauge stainless steel flanges and welds them permanently — the same welded construction as the satin 8120, with the addition of the peened texture for wet environments. All exposed welds are ground and polished to blend seamlessly.

• Mandrel-Bent Seamless Tubing: 18-gauge seamless stainless steel tubing shaped using a mandrel bending process that maintains a perfectly uniform 1-1/2" diameter through all bends — consistent grip surface and predictable structural performance throughout.

• Mounting Hardware Included: Bradley includes general-purpose mounting screws with every bar — designed for fastening into solid wood in-wall backing of appropriate thickness for the substrate. For metal studs, concrete, or masonry, installer must supply appropriate anchors for the specific substrate. Drill through tile not grout where possible, and avoid in-wall plumbing and electrical.

Peened vs. Satin — Which Finish Do You Need?

The 8122-001360 (peened) is specified for showers, pool facilities, locker rooms, aquatic centers, rehabilitation facilities, and any wet-area application where users regularly have wet or soapy hands.

The 8120-001360 (satin) is the standard choice for dry commercial restrooms, offices, and healthcare corridors where appearance is a priority. Both versions use identical welded construction, diameter, gauge, and structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this grab bar come with mounting hardware? Bradley includes general-purpose mounting screws with every 8122 grab bar. Use appropriate fasteners based on your specific wall construction.

• Does ADA require a 36" grab bar, and is peened finish required? ADA §604.5.2 requires the rear-wall bar to be at least 36" long, positioned between 33"–36" AFF. The Bradley 8122-001360 meets this requirement. Note: ADA Standards do not require a peened finish — peened is a specification choice for wet-area and healthcare applications.

• Is the Bradley 8122 ADA compliant? Yes. When properly mounted, the Bradley 8122 meets and exceeds ANSI A117.1, ADA/ADAAG, and UFAS requirements. The 1-1/2" diameter meets §609.2 graspability requirements and the 1-1/2" wall clearance meets §609.3. Note: ADA Standards do not require a peened finish — peened is a specification choice for wet-area applications.

• What is the difference between Bradley 8122 and Bobrick B-6806.99? Both are 1-1/2" diameter peened-finish stainless grab bars with concealed mounting. Bradley's ends are welded through the flanges; Bradley includes mounting hardware while Bobrick does not. Both are ADA compliant and widely specified for wet-area commercial applications.

• Can this bar be mounted horizontally, vertically, or at an angle? Yes — the Bradley 8122 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.
