Suction Pad Diameter:
The suction cups measure 4.7 inches in diameter. To work
properly you must install on a smooth, flat, non-porous surface. These
grab bars will work on tile, but the tiles cannot be smaller than 5 inches
square. The suction will not hold if any of the suction cup is on
the grout line.
They are not recommended for use on drywall, wall board, wall paper, wood
paneling, plaster or any other porous surface. While they may appear to
hold for a short time, the suction will diminish quickly and may not provide the
necessary pull strength when you need it.
On a smooth, flat surface, the suction vacuum will hold for a very long time
- sometimes even months. But, because all surfaces have a different
porosity, you should periodically remove and reset your portable grab bar every
few weeks or as needed to insure that the hold is secure. These grab bars
were designed for use in the tub and shower and it will not harm them to
become wet. All inner component are made of non-corrosive
materials and will not rust. They will not damage your your tub/shower
surround.
The single grip portable grab bar has been tested to hold up to roughly
200lbs of pull pressure. The average, healthy, adult human can generate about
60lbs of pull strength using their own power.
The key to the safety and stability and hold strength lies in the composition
of the rubber. These 4.7" diameter, 1/4" thick pads are made of the
strongest, most expensive natural, vulcanized rubber in the world. They
are the strongest and most reliable on the market today.
Available in two lengths:
- Medium: adjustable from 19 inches to 24 inches
- Large: adjustable from 24 inches to 29 inches
Note: Will not work properly if placed on tiles less than 5
inches square!
