FIXING GRAB BARS

Firstly check the substrate where you intend to fix your grab rail, ensuring that it is sound. Also check the
type of substrate you intend to fix to, e.g. brick/block timber or concrete
Never drill through pre-stressed concrete to install a grab bar
Always check the type of fixing you are going to use on this substrate for their compatibility.
We suggest that for sound brick and block that a minimum screw length of
50mm x size 10 is used with a suitable rawl plug and screws, in accordance with the
guidelines issued by the fixings manufacturer.
It is recommended that stainless steel screws are used so as to avoid the chance of rusting.
PLASTER BOARD (STUD TYPE) LATHE AND PLASTER
When attempting to fix to plasterboard stud or lathe and plaster, we suggest that you check the position
of the studs and span them with a suitable timber plate of a minimum thickness of 40mm x 150mm high,
securing the plate to the studs. After ensuring the soundness of the studs (using a suitable counter sunk
screw) fix your grab bar to the timber plate.
Never install any grab bar directly onto plasterboard, MDF (medium density
fibreboard), chipboard or other composite material. This will seriously compromise
the safety of the user.
Always use all screw holes provided in the grab bar.
ELECTRICITY
Always check for concealed cables when installing grab bars.

CLEANING

Our grab bars should be cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaner or mild detergent with a soft cloth. Only
use a mild detergent or disinfectant; never use an abrasive cleaner. Always ensure that you wipe dry all
equipment and treat joints with a water dispersing agent such as WD40.
