FAQs
What is the maximum user weight this grab rail can support?
The NRS Healthcare Height Adjustable Swedish Bath Rail can support a maximum user weight of 150 kgs (23 stone).
Is this grab rail suitable for all types of baths?
It is compatible with baths with a rim height between 425mm - 640mm and a rim width between 37mm - 90mm. It requires a stable bath edge for the clamps to grip securely. It may also require floor fixing for maximum stability, which needs suitable flooring and fixings.
Does it require professional installation?
The grab rail requires self-assembly, but typically does not require professional installation unless you are securing the base plate to the floor and are unsure how to do so.
How do I clean the grab rail?
Clean it regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Wipe it dry afterward to prevent water spots and maintain the chrome finish.
What is the warranty period for this product?
This product comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Can the handrail be angled or is it fixed?
The handrail is angled at the top for user comfort and provides maximum support.
What are the dimensions of the base plate?
The base plate dimensions are 265mm x 25mm (10.5" x 1").
Troubleshooting
The rail feels unstable after setup.
Ensure the bath clamps are fully tightened onto the bath rim. If using the floor base plate, verify it is securely fixed to the floor. Re-check all assembly screws and fittings to ensure they are tight.
Difficulty adjusting the height.
Locate the adjustment mechanism (usually a knob or lever) and ensure it is fully loosened before attempting to move the rail. Check for any obstructions preventing movement. Refer to the assembly manual for specific adjustment steps.
Clamps do not fit the bath rim.
Measure the thickness of your bath rim to ensure it falls within the compatible range (37mm - 90mm). Ensure the clamps are correctly positioned and tightened to grip the rim securely.
Rust or corrosion appears on the chrome plating.
This is uncommon with proper care. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure the rail is dried thoroughly after each use and cleaning to prevent moisture buildup.
