Description
The PreserveTech RTL12A001-GR is a grey 360-degree swivel bath chair: a padded seat with a back and pivoting arms, on an aluminum frame, rated 350 lbs (159 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
- Swivel: pull the lever; the seat turns a full circle and locks every 90 degrees.
- Arms: padded, and they pivot up out of the way for a side transfer or lock down for support.
- Seat and back: padded, with drainage holes so water does not pool.
- Height: push-pin legs set the seat from 15 to 21 in (38 to 53 cm).
- Frame: rust-resistant aluminum, 18 by 16 in (46 by 41 cm) overall, 8.80 lbs (4.0 kg), with non-skid tips.
- Snap-together assembly with push buttons, no tools.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits someone who transfers at the tub and needs to rotate once seated, with a back and arms for support. Choose the RTL12061M for a backless swivel stool, the 12445KD-1 for a fixed chair with removable arms, or a transfer bench if stepping into the tub is not possible.
Will it fit?
- Overall 18 by 16 in (46 by 41 cm); measure the tub floor and the entry.
- All four tips must touch the tub floor at once, and none may touch the tub walls.
- Seat height 15 to 21 in (38 to 53 cm); set each leg to the same numbered hole.
- The person needs to sit and stand with the arms for support; a free home assessment can check the transfer.
Using it day to day
- Assembly: legs into the seat, the L-shaped backrest supports, the backrest, then the arms; each push pin clicks when secure.
- Pull up on the lever to swivel, and let the seat lock at the quarter turn you need.
- Lift the arms for a side transfer and lock them down for support.
- Clean with mild soap and warm water, and wipe the seat dry; check the tips for wear.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- 350 lbs (159 kg), for sitting; do not stand on the chair.
- The antimicrobial treatment protects the seat, backrest and tips, not the person.
- It sits in the tub; it is not a transfer bench.
- The arms pivot, but the frame does not fold.
- Limited lifetime warranty; see the Warranty tab.
How does it compare?
- RTL12061M: a backless swivel stool with a 14 in (36 cm) seat.
- 12445KD-1: a fixed shower chair with a back and removable padded arms.
- Bath benches: the full range.
Frequently asked questions
