Description
The AquaSense knurled chrome grab bar is a straight steel handhold for a bath or shower wall. Lengths run from 785-100 at 12 in to 785-108 at 32 in. The flanges are fixed.
What does it do and how does it work?
It gives a knurled handhold where both flanges can be screwed into wall studs.
- Knurled chrome over steel, rust-resistant. Lengths are 12, 16, 18, 24 and 32 in (30.5, 40.6, 45.7, 61 and 81.3 cm).
- Flanges are fixed. Screws go through the wall board or tile and into a stud. Six stainless screws and six washers are included.
- It is not a suction bar, and it does not clamp onto the tub rim.
- If a screw works loose, do not use the bar. Tighten it so the screw stays in the stud. Wipe with a soft cloth, mild soap and water.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It is for someone who needs a fixed handhold on a wall with studs under both flanges. If there is no stud where the hand needs to be, use a super pole or a tub rail that clamps the rim. See grab bars.
Will it fit?
Both flanges have to land on studs. Studs are often 16 or 24 in (40.6 or 61 cm) apart, so a short bar cannot bridge that gap.
We confirm the length against your stud spacing before you order. A free home assessment measures the wall. Mobility can install the bar: ask when you order or at that visit.
Using it day to day
Line the flanges up over the studs. Drill, then drive the screws through the board or tile into the stud. Check that none are loose before anyone pulls on the bar. A diagonal is fine only when both ends hit a stud.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
The bar holds only as well as the studs it is screwed into. Tile alone, or a hollow spot between studs, is not a mount. Do not use the bar when a screw is loose. Five-year warranty against defects; see the Warranty tab.
Which version should I choose?
Choose 12, 16, 18, 24 or 32 in. You buy one bar here, not the factory case of twelve. For flanges that rotate, see the rotating-flange bar.
How does it compare?
The rotating-flange AquaSense bar uses the same lengths, mounts vertically, horizontally or diagonally, and is rated 250 lb (113 kg) into studs, with 2 1/2 in (6.4 cm) of clearance. The HealthCraft knurled stainless bar is a 1.25 in (32 mm) tube, rated 500 lb (227 kg) on the 12, 18 and 24 in lengths into wood studs.
Frequently asked questions
Do these flanges turn?
No. These flanges are fixed. The rotating-flange bar is the one that turns.
Can I screw it into tile only?
No. The screws must pass through the board or tile and into a wall stud.
What if a screw works loose?
Do not use the bar. Tighten the screw so it stays in the stud, then test it.
Can I return a grab bar?
Bathroom safety items are non-returnable. Measure the studs first. See the return policy.
