Metlam Drop Down Grab Rail with Call Button and Toilet Roll Holder

Description

Hospitals and aged care facilities often need a rail, a nurse call point and a toilet paper holder all within reach of the pan. This Metlam Drop Down Grab Rail combines the three in one fitting. Lower the rail for support when sitting or standing, reach the call button holder on the rail itself if help is needed, and use the integrated holder for one standard toilet roll. When it is not in use the rail stores in an upright position to keep the side of the pan clear for wheelchair transfers.

The rail is made from grade 304 stainless steel with 32mm x 1.2mm grab rail tubing and seamless welds. It is surface mounted with visible fixings, and the universal design suits left hand or right hand installation, so one product covers either side of the pan. The swivelling call button holder keeps the button usable whichever side the rail is fitted.

Choosing a grab rail

Grab rails give support where people sit, stand and turn: beside the toilet, inside the shower and next to the bath. Straight rails suit ambulant cubicles, showers and general support. 90 degree rails combine a horizontal and a vertical grip for sitting down and getting up. Drop down rails fold out of the way so an accessible toilet stays clear for wheelchair transfers. Accessible and ambulant toilets in Australian public and commercial buildings are designed to AS 1428.1, which sets rail positions, a 30 to 40mm tube diameter and the gap between rail and wall.

Fixing matters as much as the rail. Concealed-fix flanges hide the screws for a neater, tamper-resistant finish, and every rail must go into studs, noggins or solid masonry that can carry the load. Satin stainless steel is the hard-wearing standard for hospitals, aged care, schools and offices; matte black suits homes and boutique commercial fit-outs where the rail should look like part of the design.
