Flip-Up Toilet Nylon Grab Bar GB-010 — Folding Bilateral Toilet Safety Rail

Product Features

· Flip-up bilateral design — each arm mounts to the wall with a hinged bracket; in the deployed (horizontal) position, provides bilateral toilet support; flips up to a vertical position against the wall when not needed

· Enables side-transfer access — with arms folded up, wheelchair users can approach the toilet from the side; with arms deployed, ambulating patients have bilateral grab support; one installation serves both user groups

· Antibacterial nylon over stainless steel core

· Locking deployed position — arms lock firmly in the horizontal position when deployed; will not drop unexpectedly under load

· 150 kg load capacity in deployed position

· 35mm diameter

· Concealed wall mounting brackets

Product Specifications

Applications

· Shared accessible hospital toilet facilities — the standard specification for accessible toilets used by both ambulatory patients (who need bilateral grab support) and wheelchair users (who need clear side transfer space)

· Public accessible restrooms — ADA and international accessibility code compliant bilateral flip-up bar for public facility accessible stalls

· Hotel accessible bathrooms — flip-up bar allows the accessible bathroom to function as a standard bathroom when the fold-up arms are stored, maintaining room aesthetics for all guests

Installation Steps

1. Position the rear wall bracket at the toilet rear wall, centered on the toilet pan, at the specified mounting height (typically bar surface at 840mm when deployed).

2. Confirm both bracket fixing points are in the structural rear wall — the bilateral bar mechanism transmits higher moment forces to the wall than a standard static bar; ensure both fixing anchors penetrate into structural substrate.

3. Drill, anchor and mount brackets per standard process.

4. Deploy the arms to the horizontal position and apply a firm downward load test to each arm before the bathroom is returned to use.

5. Test the fold-up mechanism — arms should fold smoothly and latch securely in the vertical position.

Product Advantages

· Universal accessibility specification — one installation serves both wheelchair side-transfer access (arms up) and ambulatory bilateral support (arms deployed); required by ADA for public accessible toilet stalls

· Space-efficient — arms folded vertically against the wall free the full side-transfer space; eliminates the need to specify separate wheelchair-accessible and ambulatory-support stalls

FAQ

Q: Is GB-010 the ADA-required configuration for public accessible toilet stalls?

A: Yes. ADA Section 604.5 requires that toilet stalls accessible to wheelchair users have a 60-inch minimum turning space and clear floor space for side transfer. Flip-up grab bars that fold clear of this space when not needed allow a single accessible stall to serve both ambulatory and wheelchair users. In shared public accessible restrooms, flip-up bilateral bars are the standard ADA-compliant configuration.

Q: What is the weight capacity of the flip-up mechanism itself?

A: The locking hinge mechanism is rated to the same load as the bar — ≥150 kg in the deployed position. The hinge lock engages automatically when the arm reaches the horizontal position. Load should not be applied to a partially deployed arm.
