The ASI 3454-P is a locking, swing-away grab bar with a 1-1/4-inch diameter. It has a peened gripping surface. When not in use, the bar lies flat against the wall. When needed, it can be opened to stand perpendicular to the wall. At its widest, it extends 30-1/4 inches from the wall. Crafted from 18-gauge stainless steel tubing, it has an appealing satin finish that reduces fingerprints while still looking shiny. For extra safety, you need to lift the bar upward before opening or closing it. It's attached to a 33-inch stainless steel post. When properly installed, it can support up to 250 pounds, meeting ADA and other accessibility guidelines.
Using this grab bar is easy. When you need support, just lift it upwards first and then swing it out until it's perpendicular to the wall. When you're done, lift it up again and swing it back to rest flat against the wall. As for safety, always make sure it's properly installed and don't exceed the 250-pound weight limit. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to keep the satin finish looking great and to reduce fingerprints. Regularly check the connections to the wall and the post to ensure they're secure.
