Using the ASI 3801 - 16P grab bar is easy. Just hold onto it firmly for support when you need it, like getting in or out of the bathtub. When installing, make sure the flange covers snap on tightly to hide the mounting hardware. As for maintenance, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep the satin finish looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the surface. Also, check the flange covers from time to time to ensure they're still securely in place. This will help the grab bar stay in top - notch condition and keep preventing tampering and vandalism.
