Description
The Drive RTL12036-ADJ is a clamp-on tub rail with an adjustable handle. The white powder-coated steel rail sets from 14.5 to 17 in (37 to 43 cm) high, the clamp fits tub walls 3 to 7 in (8 to 18 cm) thick, and it is rated 300 lb (136 kg) when fitted as directed.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Rail: white powder-coated steel, with a handle that rises from 14.5 to 17 in (37 to 43 cm).
- Clamp: a tool-free clamp that opens from 3 to 7 in (8 to 18 cm) for the tub wall.
- Lock: a stainless steel locking mechanism with rubber pads that protect the tub finish.
- Use: a handhold for getting in and out of the bath.
- Capacity: 300 lb (136 kg) when clamped as directed.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits someone who needs a removable handhold on a compatible tub wall.
- Choose the Drive 12036 if the handle can stay at its fixed 14.5 in height.
- Choose a wall-mounted grab bar for a permanent handhold.
- Choose the Drive 12044 for a plastic tub rail with different dimensions.
Will it fit?
- Measure the tub wall where the clamp sits; it must be 3 to 7 in (8 to 18 cm) thick.
- The rubber pads need a flat face; a sliding-door track or a shaped rim can stop them meeting the surface.
- Set both ends of the clamp on the same wall section.
- Book a free home assessment if the wall is shaped or tiled.
Using it day to day
- Open the clamp, set it over the tub wall and tighten it by hand as directed.
- Check for movement before each use and retighten if it shifts.
- Do not sit or stand on the rail.
- Release the clamp to move the rail to another compatible tub.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 300 lb (136 kg) only when the clamp is correctly fitted to a compatible wall.
- It is a handhold, not a seat and not a wall-mounted grab bar.
- Warranty: limited lifetime.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable once used, so measure first.
How does it compare?
- The Drive 12036 is the fixed-height version of this rail.
- The Drive 12044 is a plastic tub rail.
- A grab bar fastens into the wall and does not clamp to the tub.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone sit on the rail?
No. It is a handhold, and the 300 lb (136 kg) rating applies only when it is clamped as directed.
Will it fit over a sliding-door track?
The pads need a flat face on the wall. A track or shaped rim can stop the clamp sitting flat, so measure it first.
How is it different from the 12036?
The 12036 handle is fixed at 14.5 in; this RTL12036-ADJ adjusts from 14.5 to 17 in.
