Grab bar Sourcing A160400 — safety rail, ABS and chrome-plated aluminium, height 450 mm, width 80 mm

The Sourcing A160400 grab bar is a wall-mounted safety rail combining ABS and chrome-plated aluminium for a durable, hygienic support solution. With an overall height of 450 mm, width of 80 mm and depth of 80 mm, this single-piece rail is designed to be fixed next to toilets, in showers or along bathroom walls to assist standing, sitting and controlled transfers.

Advantages

The construction of ABS with a chrome-plated aluminium surface offers corrosion resistance and easy cleaning while keeping the rail lightweight. Its compact dimensions provide a stable handhold without occupying excessive space, and the single-piece design minimises joints where dirt could accumulate. The smooth finish facilitates hygiene maintenance and blends with modern bathroom fittings.

Suitable for

• Support when standing up from or sitting down on a toilet
• Assistance when entering, exiting or moving within a shower area
• Additional handhold for elderly users or people with reduced mobility
• Use in bathrooms, clinics, care homes and assisted-living environments

When it may not be suitable

This grab bar is intended as an aid for balance and support but is not a substitute for structural safety systems; it should not be used to bear excessive dynamic loads such as full-body suspension or fall-arresting forces. Installation onto weak or inappropriate wall substrates without proper anchors may reduce load capacity and compromise safety.

Key specifications

• Material: ABS and chrome-plated aluminium
• Height: 450 mm
• Width: 80 mm
• Depth (projection from wall): 80 mm

How to use

Position the grab bar at a height and location that matches the user’s needs, typically beside toilets or within reach in shower areas. Use the rail as a steady handhold when transferring weight, maintaining three-point contact (two feet and one hand) where possible for stability. Regularly inspect the mounted rail for signs of looseness, corrosion or damage and ensure fixings remain tight.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm wall construction and choose suitable anchors or fixings for secure installation
• Measure the installation height and clearance to ensure ergonomic reach
• Check compatibility with existing bathroom fittings and the desired finish

Usage recommendations

For safe performance, install the grab bar using appropriate wall anchors or into structural backing. Follow local building codes and accessibility guidelines for mounting height and position. Clean the chrome-plated surface with non-abrasive cleaners to preserve finish and inspect mounting hardware periodically.
