Grab Bar Location

• For proper mounting heights and location consult with your state and local code ofcial having jurisdiction over the

• Grab Bar ends must be mounted with both end positions over a wall stud. A stud nder can be used to locate wall
studs. Contractor is responsible for installing Grab Bar to wall studs as instructed.

properly secure. Standard size wall stud limits using more than two (2) wood screws.

• If using a drill to install wood screws, a drill bit extension must be used to avoid damaging the Grab Bar.
