The ASI 3454-P is a locking, swing away grab bar that measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Featuring a peened gripping surface, the bar portion of the unit rests flat against the wall when not in use and then can be opened to be perpendicular to the wall surface whenever it is needed. When opened, the grab bar unit extends 30-1/4 inches from the wall at its widest point. The grab bars are crafted from 18-gauge stainless steel tubing that has an attractive satin finish to cut down on fingerprints, while still giving the unit an attractive gleam. For added safety, the grab bar must first be lifted upward before it can be opened or closed. The grab bars are attached to a stainless steel post that stands at 33 inches in height. To comply with ADA and other barrier-free accessibility guidelines, the unit can support up to 250 pounds of weight when properly installed.
