Overview

A 36-inch grab bar is a longer safety rail that gives a hand something to slide along as someone moves. It is the length accessibility guidelines call for on the wall behind an accessible toilet, and it also suits long tub and shower walls.

Sizing & placement

It is 36 inches (3 feet) long, 3 inches tall, and projects 3.5 inches from the wall, which leaves the standard 1.5-inch grip gap. The default mounting height puts the bottom edge 33 inches off the floor, within the usual 33 to 36 inch range, and you can adjust it.

Where it works

Accessible and commercial restrooms, tub surrounds, and aging-in-place bathrooms.
