Description
The AquaSense Multi-Adjust Bath Safety Rail, part 785-340, clamps onto a bathtub wall and gives a handhold while a person steps in or out. The handgrip slides on the shaft and can sit along the tub or across it. It is a handhold, not a seat and not a wall bar.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Clamp: fits bathtub walls 3 to 7 in (7.6 to 17.8 cm) wide, with the knob outside the tub.
- Fitting: a knob tightens it by hand; no screws, no suction cups and no tools.
- Handgrip: slides on the shaft and locks with push buttons, parallel or perpendicular to the bath.
- Grip: two independent gripping surfaces.
- Build: rust-resistant steel with a white vinyl coating and non-marring rubber pads.
- Capacity: 300 lb (136 kg) when the clamp is tight.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For someone who can step into the tub and wants a steady handhold on the rim.
- For a seated transfer, choose a transfer bench.
- For a fixed grip clamped at one height, choose the Drive 12036.
- For a wall handhold that takes leaning weight, use a stud-mounted grab bar.
Will it fit?
- Measure the tub wall thickness first; the clamp covers 3 to 7 in.
- The wall surface must be clean, dry and free of residue where the clamp and pads sit.
- Check the tub rim shape and any glass or porcelain panel; the clamp needs a flat edge to grip.
- Book a free home assessment and we measure the wall with you.
Using it day to day
- Set the clamp over the wall with the knob outside the tub and tighten it snugly by hand.
- Do not over-tighten: it can damage the tub, and glass, porcelain and fibreglass need extra care.
- Pull the rail side to side and front to back before use; tighten it again if it moves.
- Check the clamp from time to time, and clean with a mild household cleaner; avoid harsh solvents, abrasive powders and scouring pads.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It is a handhold only, rated 300 lb (136 kg) with the clamp tight. Do not sit on it.
- Lifetime limited warranty for the original user; see the Warranty tab.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable under our return policy, so measure first.
How does it compare?
The Drive 12036 is a fixed-height clamp rail; the Drive 12044 is a plastic clamp rail with a narrower jaw. The rest are under tub rails.
Frequently asked questions
Can it take leaning weight?
No. It is a clamp handhold for a step; a stud-mounted grab bar is the wall option for leaning or pulling.
Can I sit on the rail?
No. It is a handhold while you step; a transfer bench is the seat.
Will the clamp crack my tub?
Tighten it snug, not hard. Drive warns over-tightening can damage the tub, and glass or porcelain needs extra care.
How often should I check it?
Before each use, pull it side to side and front to back; retighten if it moves, and check it from time to time.
