NOTE: For maximum safety and to meet ADA

horizontally, 33 to 36" from the floor.
BEFORE INSTALLING
Verify the length of the grab bar by measuring from the
outside of one flange to inside of the other. Mark center
hole of grab bar location on flange. (See Figure 1)
To ensure adequate clearance, a stud finder should be
used to verify there are no studs within the area where
the fastener will be installed. Minimum 1" clearance
needed from center for each fastener installation.
