Port Washington, NY – March 25, 2021

Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Knurled Chrome and White Powder-Coated grab bars meet standards for accessible design when installed according to ADA and CSA guidelines.

To meet ADA and CSA standards for accessible design, the grab bar must be installed horizontally, cannot rotate in fittings, support up to 250 lb., and have a sizeable gripping surface, diameters of 1.25 to 2”, and at least 1.5” of space between the wall and grab bar. Our grab bars meet each of these standards.

“We are always looking for ways to improve our existing products,” said Laura Williams, Product Manager – Bathroom Safety/Commodes. “This product upgrade will help show our customers that they can rely on our grab bars to meet their needs.”

The grab bars offer stability, support and fall prevention while providing a safe and inclusive
environment for those with disabilities. The knurled chrome grab bar 32” diameter provides a non- slip grip, and the white powder-coated steel grab bar is easy to clean and available in 12, 16, 18 or 24”.
