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:
| "PS" |
Bright Polished stainless steel. |
| "PC" |
Powder Coated stainless steel in a wide array
of custom colors (specify color and/ or provide a color chip) |
| "GP" |
24K Gold Plated stainless steel. |
