Seachrome offers a complete line of heavy-duty stainless steel and solid brass grab bars for use where maximum safety, durability and reliability are mandatory. Bars are available in a wide variety of flange styles, tube diameters, sizes, configurations and surface finishes.

100% AMERICAN MADE. Bars meet Fed. Spec WW-P-541/8b, Amendment 1,16 April, 1990 and ANSI 117.1. When properly installed, all close-clearance bars exceed a 900lb. downward pull requirement for FHA, VA HUD specifications and COMPLY WITH ALL ADA REQUIREMENTS.

TUBING:

Bars are manufactured using either Type 304 (18-8) Stainless Steel or 260 Alloy Solid Brass tubing, .049" - 18 ga. (1.2mm) wall thickness x 1" (25mm), 1-1/4" (32mm) and 1-1/2" (38mm) diameter. Specify bar diameter by using the following designations:

"H" 1-1/2" (38mm) diameter.

"Q" 1-1/4" (32mm) diameter.

"S" 1" (25mm) diameter

WALL FLANGES:

Mounting flanges are constructed of Type 304 (18-8) stainless steel, heliarc welded to the bar to form a single structural unit. Flanges are available in the following styles:

WALL CLEARANCE:

On straight bars, the standard clearance between the finished wall surface and the inner bar edge is 1-1/2" (38mm). Other wall clearances are available upon request.

LOAD BEARING AND INSTALLATION:

All Seachrome close-clearance, wall-mounted straight bars have been designed and manufactured to support loads in excess of 900 lbs. (408kg) when properly installed. The actual "in use" load bearing capacity of any grab bar, however, will be limited by the strength of it's mounting surface and installation hardware.

Seachrome recommends that grab bars be installed using 2" minimum thickness "in wall" solid wood backing material with #10x2 stainless steel, phillips-head, sheet metal screws, or using a wall embedded, minimum 12 ga. (2.8mm) steel anchor plate with #10-24 stainless steel machine screws. When mounting on toilet partitions, Seachrome recommends the use of 3"(76mm) dia., 16 ga (1.6mm), stainless steel, "through-wall" anchor disks. Please contact the factory for further mounting recommendations.

Under no circumstances should any grab bar be mounted to drywall, sheetrock, plaster, fiberglass, acrylic or other similar "hollow" wall surfaces without appropriate wood or steel backing material.

SPECIAL FINISHES:

Polished Brass bars can be provided in all 1-1/4" and 1-1/2", concealed flange configurations by adding a "BB" designation to the model number. These bars are manufactured using solid brass tubing and "snap-on" flange covers, brightly polished and polyurethane coated. This polyurethane coating can also be eliminated to allow for periodic field polishing.

In addition to a standard brushed satin finish, all stainless steel bars can be provided with a slip-resistant, peened gripping surface by adding a "P" designation to the model number.

Stainless steel bars can also be provided in a number of other beautiful finishes, by adding the following designations to the model number:
