STRENGTH:

Bobrick grab bars that provide 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from wall can support loads in excess of 900 pounds (408kg) if properly installed. Other grab bar

conﬁgurations can support loads in excess of 250 pounds (113kg) if properly installed, complying with accessible design (including ADAAG in the U.S.A.) for

structural strength.

Safety Warning: Grab bars are no stronger than the anchors and walls to which they are attached and, therefore, must be ﬁrmly

secured in order to support the loads for which they are intended. To avoid potential injury, the building owner or maintenance

personnel should remove the grab bar from service if the grab bar is not adequately secured to wall or if there is any observed

damage to the welds.

INSTALLATION:

Provide concealed anchor device or backing as speciﬁed or required in accordance with local building codes before wall is ﬁnished. Fasten concealed mounting

ﬂanges to anchor device or backing with at least two screws opposing each other in each ﬂange. Snap ﬂange covers over each mounting ﬂange to conceal mount

ing screws. Concealed anchor devices and mounting screws are not included with Bobrick grab bars and must be speciﬁed as an accessory.

For Grab Bars with an Intermediate Flange(s), Pull Snap-Flange Covers away from mounting ﬂanges. Place grab bar in desired mounting location. Use

intermediate ﬂange as a template to mark location of mounting screws at intermediate ﬂange only. Mark screw locations at the center of the slot in the middle

of the double-keyhole shaped mounting holes (2) in the intermediate ﬂange. Remove grab bar from wall. Drive the intermediate ﬂange mounting screws into

wall at marked locations. Note: Make sure to leave a space of just over 1/8'' (3.17mm) between the underside of the screw head and the wall. Install grab

bar on the wall by placing the round ends of the intermediate ﬂange double-keyhole shaped mounting holes over the mounting screws (2) are located in the

middle of the ﬂange slots. Install the mounting screws into the wall at the end ﬂanges and secure tightly. Tighten the mounting screws at the intermediate

ﬂange. Press all snap-ﬂange covers into place to conceal mounting ﬂanges.

Note: Recommend use of 1/4'' or #14 sheet metal or wood screws to install Intermediate Flange. #12 screws may also be used.
