It can hold over 250 pounds of force and has adjustable mounts, which is great for bathroom remodeling projects. This allows the installer to slide the flanges along the bar in order to align with the wall studs. The Wave is available in 24-inch and 36-inch lengths and sits an inch and a half from wall to bar. These grab bars are also a healthy product because of the recent incorporation of Saniguard in the manufacturing process that helps inhibit bacteria growth.

The rail comes in 30 or 54 inch lengths, which can be cut to custom sizes. The handrail can be installed at any height to provide support.
