Description
The AquaSense knurled chrome grab bar with rotating flange is a wall bar whose flanges turn, so it can sit level, upright or on a diagonal. It is rated 250 lb (113 kg) into wall studs and comes in 12 to 32 in lengths.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Rotating flanges: set the bar at the angle the wall needs, then screw the flanges down.
- Grip: a knurled chrome surface with a rust-resistant finish.
- Clearance: the bar stands 2.5 in (6.4 cm) off the wall.
- Hardware: stainless steel screws and washers are included; six of each.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a wall where one bar has to follow a diagonal or change from level to upright.
- Choose the straight AquaSense knurled bar if the flanges do not need to turn.
- Choose a tub rail for a handhold on the tub rim without drilling.
Will it fit?
- Screws pass through wall board or tile into the studs; studs are usually 16 or 24 in (41 or 61 cm) apart.
- The bar needs 2.5 in (6.4 cm) of clear space from the wall.
- Pick the length for the run: 12 in for a short hold, 24 or 32 in for a longer wall.
- We can install grab bars; ask when you order.
Using it day to day
- Check that the bar is tight before each use, and tighten the screws if it moves.
- Do not use it if the mount is loose.
- Grip the bar before a bath or toilet transfer; the bar and the tub are slippery when wet.
- Clean it with a soft cloth, mild soap and water.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It holds only as well as the wall: the 250 lb (113 kg) rating assumes sound studs.
- It is not a suction bar and does not clamp to a tub rim.
- Five-year warranty against defects; see the Warranty tab.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable once used, so check the wall first.
How does it compare?
- The HealthCraft knurled bar is rated 500 lb on its 24 in length.
- The Ezee Life knurled bar is another chrome finish in 12 to 32 in.
- The grab bar range covers straight, rotating and flip-up designs.
Frequently asked questions
Will suction cups hold this bar?
No. The rating is for screws into studs; a suction mount is a different product.
Can it go into drywall alone?
Not at the rated load. The screws have to reach the studs.
Does the flange move after it is installed?
You set the angle, then screw it down. It is not a hinge that swings during a transfer.
