Description
The Drive Deluxe Aluminum Bath Chair RTL12202KDR is a fixed shower chair with a back for someone who can step into the tub or shower. Its corrosion-proof aluminum frame weighs 7 lbs (3.2 kg) and is rated 300 lbs (136 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
- Seat and back: a plastic seat 19.25 by 11.5 in (49 by 29 cm) with a backrest; the seat depth sets in one of two holes on the frame.
- Frame: corrosion-proof aluminum, four legs, no arms.
- Height: push-pin legs adjust in 1 in (2.5 cm) steps; set all four to the same hole.
- Tips: angled, slip-reduction rubber tips sit on the floor.
- Assembly: thumb screws join the back, seat and legs, with no tools.
- Folding: the frame does not fold.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a person who can step into the tub or shower and wants a back while sitting.
- It suits a bathroom where the chair stays set up; it weighs 7 lbs (3.2 kg).
- Choose a folding chair if it has to be stored between baths.
- Choose a transfer bench if the person cannot step over the tub wall.
Will it fit?
- The seat is 19.25 by 11.5 in (49 by 29 cm); check it against the tub or shower floor.
- All four tips must touch the floor at once, so the floor has to be level.
- The seat depth sets in one of two holes on the frame; choose the hole before tightening the screws.
- The 300 lb (136 kg) limit is for sitting.
Using it day to day
- Assemble on a flat surface: the B leg section fits the B seat groove, the A section sits over it, then the L-shaped back supports and the remaining thumb screws.
- Tighten every thumb screw, then check them periodically.
- Push the legs in, set all four to the same height, and pull or push each leg to confirm the pins are locked.
- Clean with mild soap and warm water, and wipe the chair dry after each use.
- Check the tips for rips or wear, and replace any damaged or missing tip.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- Use it on a flat tub or shower floor; in a tub, keep the tips off the tub walls.
- Do not stand on the chair.
- It has no arms or clamps and does not fold.
- Replacement push buttons (12002PB), tips (12011SS) and a hardware pack (12202KD-FHP) are sold as parts.
- Limited lifetime warranty; see the Warranty tab.
How does it compare?
- The 770-525 AquaSense chair folds flat but carries 250 lbs (113 kg).
- The RTL12203KDR is the backless Drive bench without the backrest.
- A transfer bench lets a person sit outside the tub and slide across.

What if a thumb screw works loose?
