Why Choose the B-5806.99x30?

ADA Standards §604.5 require grab bars in every accessible toilet stall, and §608.3 covers accessible shower compartments — making them a code requirement in virtually every commercial, healthcare, and institutional facility. The Bobrick B-5806.99x30 is the peened-finish, 30-inch variant of Bobrick's 1-1/4" concealed-mount grab bar series. The peened texture creates a tactile surface that significantly improves grip when hands are wet or soapy — the preferred finish for showers, aquatic facilities, pool locker rooms, and wet-area applications. The 1-1/4" (32 mm) diameter is ADA-compliant and suited for lower-traffic commercial and light institutional settings. For high-traffic healthcare applications, see the B-6806.99 series (1-1/2" peened). As a Bobrick Premier Partner, TotalRestroom.com carries the full B-5806 line with a Low Price Guarantee and 48-Hour QuickShip on stocked sizes.

Key Features & Applications

• Mid-Length Peened Bar for Showers and Custom Layouts: At 30" (762 mm), this bar bridges the gap between standard shower bar lengths and full toilet stall requirements — ideal for shower side walls, transfer shower applications, and custom ADA layouts in wet environments. Note: ADA §604.5.2 requires a minimum 36" rear-wall bar for standard accessible toilet stalls.

• 900-lb Load Rating with Concealed Mounting: Exceeds ADA structural stress requirements, supporting up to 900 lbs (408 kg) of downward load when anchored into proper structural backing. Snap-on flange covers fully conceal mounting hardware for a clean, professional appearance with no exposed fasteners.

• Type 304 Stainless — Built for Commercial Cleaning: The 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel core resists corrosion and stands up to commercial-grade disinfectants, bleach solutions, and hospital-grade cleaners. The peened texture does not trap bacteria and cleans easily with standard commercial cleaning protocols.

• 1-1/4" vs. 1-1/2" Diameter — Which Do You Need? The B-5806.99 at 1-1/4" is the standard choice for lower-traffic commercial settings and light institutional projects. For healthcare facilities and high-traffic environments where maximum grip surface is a priority, the B-6806.99 (1-1/2" peened) is the recommended upgrade. Both satisfy ADA §609.2 graspability requirements.

Peened vs. Satin — Which Finish Do You Need?

The B-5806.99x30 (peened) is specified for showers, pool facilities, locker rooms, aquatic centers, and any wet-area application where users regularly have wet or soapy hands. The textured surface provides meaningfully better grip in these conditions.

The B-5806x30 (satin) is the standard choice for dry commercial restrooms, offices, and healthcare corridors where appearance is a priority. Both versions are identical in diameter, gauge, load rating, and mounting system.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this grab bar come with mounting hardware? No — mounting hardware is not included because wall construction varies widely (concrete block, steel stud, wood framing, tile backer). We recommend #14 sheet metal screws or 1/4" wood screws into structural backing rated for 250 lbs minimum — never into drywall alone.

• Can I use a 30" peened grab bar for an ADA toilet rear wall? No — ADA §604.5.2 requires the rear-wall bar in a standard accessible toilet stall to be at least 36" long. A 30" bar is used for shower applications or supplemental positions. The peened finish makes it especially suited for wet shower environments.

• What is the difference between the B-5806 (1-1/4") and B-6806 (1-1/2")? The B-5806.99 at 1-1/4" diameter is the standard commercial choice for offices, light institutional settings, and lower-traffic facilities. The B-6806.99 at 1-1/2" diameter is the heavy-duty option preferred for healthcare facilities and high-traffic environments. Both satisfy ADA §609.2 graspability requirements.

• Is the B-5806.99x30 ADA compliant? Yes. The 1-1/4" diameter meets ADA §609.2 graspability requirements, and the 1-1/2" wall clearance meets §609.3. Note: ADA Standards do not require grab bars to have peened or textured surfaces — peened finish is a specification choice, not a code requirement.

• Can this bar be mounted horizontally, vertically, or at an angle? Yes — the B-5806.99 can be installed in any orientation. ADA §604.5 specifies horizontal bars for toilet applications; §608.3 covers shower orientations. Verify the required orientation with your applicable building code before installation.
