The ASI 3501-42 is a straight grab bar with a 1-1/2-inch diameter and a 42-inch length. It has a smooth and attractive satin finish that reduces fingerprints while adding a nice shine. The grab bar is made from 18-gauge stainless steel tubing. At each end, there's a 3-inch diameter flange made of type-304 stainless steel, securely welded to the tubing. Inside each flange, there are three 7/32-inch diameter countersunk, predrilled holes. These holes are designed for No. 10 self-tapping screws or oval head mounting screws (not included), placed about every 120 degrees for a secure installation. Once installed, the mounting hardware is fully visible. This grab bar meets or exceeds all ADA requirements.

Using this grab bar is simple. Just find a suitable location on the wall where you need support, like in the bathroom. Mark the spots for the holes on the wall according to the predrilled holes on the flanges. Then, use No. 10 self - tapping screws or oval head mounting screws (not included) to fix the grab bar to the wall. Make sure the installation is secure. When using the grab bar, don't put excessive force on one end suddenly as it may cause it to loosen. For maintenance, just wipe it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. This will keep its satin finish clean and prevent fingerprints from building up. If there are any stubborn stains, you can use a mild stainless - steel cleaner. But avoid using abrasive materials that might scratch the surface.
