48" Grab Bar Center Post

The 48" Grab Bar Center Post is fabricated of #18 gauge stainless steel with a #4 satin finish.  The center post is right in the center of the grab bar and adds extra mounting strength.  They are available in 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” outside diameter.  All bars maintain a constant 1-1/2” offset, which is the distance between the inside of the bar and the mounting surface.  The mounting flanges have a 3” diameter.  We offer three types of mounting,  exposed screw mounting, snap on flange concealed and set screw flange concealed.   When properly installed they will easily support up to 250 pounds.  The recommended height for mounting these grab bars is 33 to 36” above the finished floor, but heights vary depending on local codes.  Due to the various materials that these are mounted on, screws are not included.  The overall length of a 48” grab bar will be 51” due to the flanges.
