The ASI 3450 is a horizontal grab bar. It has a 1-1/4-inch diameter and a smooth finish. Measuring 24 by 36 inches, it's crafted from 18-gauge stainless steel tubing with an appealing satin finish. This finish not only reduces fingerprints but also gives the bar an eye - catching shine. At both ends and the angle, there are 3 - inch diameter flanges made of type - 304, 11 - gauge stainless steel, herliarc welded securely to the tubing. Each flange has three 7/32 - inch diameter countersunk, predrilled holes, spaced about 120 degrees apart. These holes can accept No. 10 self - tapping screws or oval head mounting screws (not included). Once installed, the mounting hardware stays fully visible. This grab bar meets or exceeds all ADA requirements for grab bars.

Using the ASI 3450 grab bar is easy. First, find a suitable location on the wall where you need support. Make sure the wall is strong enough to hold the bar. Take the grab bar and align the predrilled holes on the flanges with the spots on the wall. Then, use No. 10 self - tapping screws or oval head mounting screws (you'll need to get these separately) to secure the bar to the wall. Once it's mounted, you can use it for support when getting up or sitting down. As for maintenance, simply wipe the bar with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it clean and looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the satin finish. Also, check the screws periodically to make sure they're tight and the bar is firmly attached to the wall. This grab bar is built to last, but following these steps will help it serve you well for a long time.
