Description
This kit is set up for a right hand installation, with the rail offset so the shower and grab rail sit where they are most useful in an accessible shower. The Metlam Offset Flush Mount Shower Grab Rail Kit gives a horizontal rail to hold while washing and a vertical section that carries the hand shower on a slider, so the outlet can be set for a seated or standing user. It suits hospitals, aged care rooms, NDIS and disability housing, hotels and home bathrooms.
The grab rail is grade 304 stainless steel, concealed fixed with 78mm diameter mounts, and comes in satin stainless steel or matte black. The shower kit has a bright chrome finish and includes an ABS plastic handpiece, stainless steel hose, brass wall elbow and ABS plastic slider. The shower head has a maximum flow rate of 6 litres per minute with a 5 star WELS rating, the kit carries WaterMark WMKT21090, and the hose is rated for standard pressure of 150 to 350kPa as per AS/NZS 3662. Kit components are the ML_HSK_CHROME shower and the MLR108MKII_SS grab rail.

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.
