Choosing and Positioning a Wall Mounted Grab Bar
Wall mounted grab bars come in several lengths. Deciding which length to install depends on how the grab bar will be
used. If you are planning to put a main grab bar on the side wall of a bathroom tub enclosure, the National Kitchen
and Bath Association recommends using a grab bar of at least 24 inches. If you also want to add a second grab bar
for further support on the shower head wall, it should be at least 12 inches long. Before deciding whether to install a
grab bar horizontally, diagonally or vertically the following needs to be taken into consideration: Horizontal grab bars
offer better leverage to a person getting up from the bathtub or up and down from a toilet, whereas a grab bar placed
at a 45 degree angle to the toilet or bathtub rim is easier for people of differing heights to reach. Horiztonal grab bars
should be located 33 to 36 inches above the finished floor around toilets, 33 to 36 inches above the floor of the
bathtub and close enough to the shower head wall in order to support a person adjusting water temperature. Vertical
mount is ideally wall mounted on the entrance to the tub and directly under the shower head to assist with safe entry
and to prevent from falling while showering. The nie wieder bohren. grab bars are also ideal to mount directly to the
tub edge to aid children in safe entry and exit from the bathtub.
