FAQs

What material is the grab bar made of?

The grab bar is made of PVC plastic with a perforated non-slippery layer. The fixing and cover plates are made of 304 stainless steel.

Are screws included for installation?

Yes, stainless steel screws for concrete walls are included with the grab bar.

What is the gap between the bar and the wall?

There is a 40mm gap between the bar and the wall, designed to prevent forearm passing.

Can this grab bar be used in a shower?

Yes, it is designed for use in showers, baths, or near WCs.

How do I clean the grab bar?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the diameter of the grab bar?

The diameter of the grab bar is 32mm.

Is this grab bar suitable for drywall installation?

The included screws are for concrete walls. For drywall, you will need to purchase and use appropriate drywall anchors and screws suitable for the intended load.

Troubleshooting

Grab bar feels loose after installation

Re-check all screw fixings and ensure they are tightened securely into the wall. If mounting on a surface other than concrete, verify that the correct type of wall anchors and screws for that material were used.

Surface feels slippery despite being perforated

Ensure the surface is clean and free from soap scum or residue. If the issue persists, consider if the specific soap or bath product being used is contributing to reduced grip.

Difficulty aligning fixing plates

Ensure the mounting holes are accurately marked before drilling. Use a level to ensure the plates are positioned straight and at the correct distance from each other.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances safety and independence in wet areas.
  • Non-slip surface provides a secure grip.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel components.
  • Designed to prevent forearm entrapment.
  • Suitable for various locations like showers, baths, and WCs.

Cons

  • Installation requires specific wall fixings (included for concrete only).
  • Requires drilling into walls for mounting.
  • White color may show dirt more readily over time.
  • Primarily designed for static support, not for bearing full body weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable mounting location on a solid wall.
  2. Mark the positions for the fixing plates using the grab bar as a template.
  3. Drill holes for the included stainless steel screws (suitable for concrete walls).
  4. Securely attach the fixing plates to the wall.
  5. Slide the cover plates over the fixing plates.
  6. Attach the grab bar to the fixing plates.

Compatibility: This grab bar is designed for wall mounting. The included screws are specifically for concrete walls. For other wall types (e.g., drywall, tile over studs), appropriate mounting hardware compatible with your wall material must be purchased separately and installed by a qualified person.

Care: Clean the grab bar regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the PVC surface or stainless steel components. Ensure the bar remains securely fastened to the wall.
