Using this ASI 3802-48P grab bar is easy. Just hold onto it firmly for support when you need it, like getting in or out of the shower. When installing, make sure the flange covers snap on tightly to protect the mounting hardware. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth regularly. This will keep its satin finish looking great and free from fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they could scratch the stainless steel. And if you notice any signs of damage, it's a good idea to check the flanges and the welds to make sure everything is still secure.
