SW3305 ADA Grab Bar

Safety grip is a peened finish on stainless steel grab bars that makes them easier to hold on to, especially if your hands or the bar are wet.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It is intended to ensure that people with disabilities have equal rights and opportunities as everyone else. For more information, please visit www.ADA.gov.

No! Towel bars are designed to be decorative and cannot support significant. Grab bars that are designed, tested, and installed to be safety bars should be used as grab bars.

Use a gentle soap, vinegar, or stainless-steel cleaning agent with a cloth. Clean the surface by going with the "grain" of the material. If necessary, a non-abrasive scrub brush can be used, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products or pads as these may damage the finish.

The ADA's accessibility standards include specific height requirements for the installation of grab bars. Links to the applicable standards are provided below. Other requirements may also be applicable in your jurisdiction.

• For shower stalls: either 2 or 3 grab bars are required, 33” – 36” from the floor of the shower stall. (ADA Section 4.21). The number of grab bars required in a shower stall is dependent on the size of the shower stall.
