FAQs
Is this rail suitable for outdoor use?
While the powder-coated finish is durable, it is designed primarily for indoor, moisture-rich environments like bathrooms. For outdoor use, consider hardware specifically rated for exterior weather conditions.
Can I mount this on a hollow plasterboard wall?
It is not recommended to mount grab rails directly into plasterboard as it may not support the weight. Always secure the rail into structural studs or solid wall masonry.
Does the rail come with mounting screws?
The rail features pre-drilled holes for mounting; however, ensure you select the appropriate screws and wall plugs for your specific wall type.
What is the diameter of the rail?
The rail features a 25mm diameter, designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip.
Can I cut the rail to a shorter length?
No, cutting the rail will compromise the structural integrity and the protective powder coating, leading to potential rust.
Is the rail available in other sizes?
Yes, NRS Healthcare offers the same style in other lengths, including 305mm and 610mm versions.
Troubleshooting
The rail feels loose after installation.
Check the wall fixings to ensure they are fully expanded and the screws are tightened securely into solid material.
Surface marks or stains appearing on the rail.
Clean the area using a soft cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid scrubbing with abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the rail, identify a mounting point that offers solid backing, such as wooden studs or masonry. Using the pre-drilled holes, mark the wall and drill to match the appropriate wall anchors required for your specific surface. Always ensure the screws are tightened completely to prevent movement. For care and maintenance, wipe the rail down regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to keep the white finish clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or degrade the protective powder coating, potentially exposing the steel to moisture and rust over time.
