Trimco TRI-1198-1-12.710CU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are Trimco 1198 grab bars ADA compliant?
Yes, the 1198 Series is listed as ADA compliant, and the 1-1/4 inch bar diameter falls inside the 1-1/4 to 2 inch gripping surface range ADA allows for grab bars. Compliance on the finished installation still depends on your mounting height and clearance behind the bar, which are set by the job, not the bar.
2) What makes these "Healthy Hardware" grab bars different from a standard stainless bar?
The touch surfaces are EPA certified antibacterial copper alloy rather than stainless. That is the whole point of the Healthy Hardware line, and it is why these get specified in hospitals, doctors' offices, schools and other public restrooms where hand contact is constant. Visually they read as a silver bar, not a copper one, because the finish is 710CU Steralloy Silver.
3) For an infection-control sensitive area, is the Sure-Loc concealed mounting grab bar an equivalent substitute for the Trimco 1198?
They are not equivalent on touch surface. The Trimco 1198 is a Healthy Hardware product made from EPA certified bacterial copper alloys, finished 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver, which is why it is specified for hospitals, doctor's offices and schools. The Sure-Loc Grab Bar with Concealed Mounting is a standard 1-1/2 inch diameter bar with a 300 lb load rating and carries no copper alloy touch surface. If the antimicrobial touch surface is the reason for the spec, stay with the 1198.
4) Will the mounting flanges show screws after installation?
No. The 1198 bars use concealed mounting, so the fasteners are hidden behind the flange cover and you get a clean face with nothing exposed to pick at. That matters in schools and psychiatric or detention-adjacent spaces where exposed screw heads are a problem.
5) Can I mix a 1-1/4 inch Trimco 1198 bar with 1-1/2 inch bars already in the building?
Mechanically yes, but they will not look or feel the same. The 1198 is a 1-1/4 inch bar; the Sure-Loc concealed mounting bar is 1-1/2 inch. Both diameters are ADA acceptable, so it is a matching question rather than a code one. If you are standardizing a facility, pick one diameter and stay with it.
6) If I mix Trimco 1198 bars and Sure-Loc concealed mounting bars across a facility, what will not match?
Grip diameter and finish. The Trimco 1198 is 1-1/4 inch diameter in 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver; the Sure-Loc Grab Bar with Concealed Mounting is 1-1/2 inch diameter. Standardizing a facility on one or the other keeps the grip feel and appearance consistent across restrooms.
7) Is the Trimco 1198 grab bar rated for commercial restrooms or is it a residential bar?
Commercial. Trimco classes the 1198 Series as commercial washroom and bath hardware, and the description points it at hospitals, doctors' offices, schools and other public facilities. For a single-family bath retrofit it will work, but you are paying for the antibacterial alloy that a residential job does not need.
