Tub Grab Bars

Tub Grab Bars serve two distinct purposes:

By providing "something to hold on to" while stepping over the side of the tub, they provide stability and assistance in getting in and out of the bathtub.
Once in the tub, a properly positioned tub bar provides assistance in getting up and down safely.

All tub grab bars are made strictly for rigid steel or cast iron porcelain tubs. Tub bars cannot be safely installed on fiberglass or plastic bathtubs.

It is important to select a tub bar with the correct type of mounting bracket to provide a tight and proper fit for your particular bath tub. Bars equipped with brackets that have straight parallel jaws cannot be safely installed on a bath tub on which the side walls of the tub are tapered or sloped. This type of tub requires a bracket that will swivel or adjust to conform to this wall configuration.
