Product Overview
QuattroPower Tub bar spans across your tub to provide safe bathing. A long grasp bar allows you to easily enter, sit, rise and step out of your tub without fear of falling. Easy to install, powerful dual suction pads provide 176 lb capacity. This rating is based on weight bearing while standing, lowering to sit, rising and in case of a slip or fall.
Mounts to wall, inside tub or outside tub. The suction pads adhere to a smooth surface. Each pad is 5 1/2" diameter and needs an area that is smooth, free of cracks or seams. In case your wall is not to these descriptions, we have steel pads, R1461414, that adhere to the wall and provide a suitable mounting surface.
QuattroPower Tub can be assembled easily with snap buttons and as easily disassembled for travel. Now you can take your safety wtih you while visitng or vacationing.
Examples of surfaces that will not work:
New construction with only a few coats of paint will still allow the suction pad to suck air through the plasterboard or drywall. The suction pad will not hold and may even pull the paint off the wall.
Natural stone, clay or cultured marble which has a not been coated with sealant will allow the suction pad to suck air and release.
Textured surface, whether stone, cement, tile or plaster will not hold the suction pad.
Cracked plaster or wall surface. Walls with seams in the grab bar area.
Tile smaller than 5” square. A suction pad over a grout line will release. Plastic tile will not support your body weight.
Dirty, oily, greasy wall surface. Clean surface with alcohol first.
Wallpaper, the suction pad will peel the paper from the wall behind it.
Tub surround walls that are not properly attached to the wall behind them. Although the suction pad may hold to the wall, the wall itself may pull away under your weight.
What surface will work:
Tile greater equal to or larger than 5”x5”, with a smooth surface.
Smooth fiberglass, porcelain, enamel-coated cast iron tubs.
Vinyl, plastic or fiberglass tub surrounds that are firmly attached to the wall or house framing behind them. Securely attached with construction adhesive or mechanical means (screws or nails). They must have a smooth, clean surface.
