Bobrick 5891 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Bobrick 5891 grab bar come with mounting screws or anchors?
No. Mounting kits, fasteners and anchors ship separately on Bobrick grab bars, and you need one per flange. The screw kit is Bobrick 252-30, which holds three 1/4 inch x 2-1/2 inch Type-304 stainless round-head sheet-metal screws. For hollow walls with no backing, the WingIt fastener kit is 251-4, with three 10-32 x 5/16 inch Phillips round-head 18/8 stainless screws and one WingIt fastener. For mounting into a toilet partition panel, use anchor 2583 for 3/4 to 1 inch panels or 2586 for 1/2 inch panels. Budget two of whichever you pick, since the bar has two flanges.
2) Can the 5891 grab bar with backrest be installed on a drywall wall with no blocking behind it?
Yes, using the Bobrick WingIt fastening system (part 251-4), which is made for grab bars installed without in-wall backing. The fastener works in hollow walls 2-1/2 inches deep or more with a finished wall surface 1/4 to 1-1/2 inches thick, and supports a 300 lb load. One fastener per flange, so two for this bar. If you do have solid backing or studs, the 252-30 screw kit is the straightforward route.
3) How far does the Bobrick 5891 stand off the wall?
Clearance between the bar and the wall is 8-1/4 inches (210mm). That is considerably more than a standard grab bar because the assembly carries a backrest, so the bar sits out where a seated user's back can clear it. Check your stall or fixture layout for that 8-1/4 inch projection before committing.
4) Will the 5891 grab bar mount to a toilet partition panel instead of a wall?
Yes, with the Bobrick partition anchors. Use 2583 for a panel 3/4 to 1 inch thick, or 2586 for a 1/2 inch panel. Each anchor comes with stainless steel machine screws, and one anchor is needed for each flange. Bear in mind Bobrick's own caution: a grab bar is only as strong as the panel and anchor it is fixed to, so the partition has to be able to carry the load.
5) What is the backrest on the Bobrick 5891 made of and how big is it?
It is a white solid phenolic backrest measuring 10 x 4 x 1-1/2 inches (255 x 100 x 13mm). Solid phenolic holds up to wet, high-traffic public washrooms and cleans without absorbing moisture, which is why it is used instead of a padded or plastic pad.
6) What gauge and material is the Bobrick 5891 grab bar tube?
Type-304 stainless steel with a satin finish, 1-1/4 inch (30mm) outside diameter and 18-gauge (1.2mm) wall thickness. The 1-1/4 inch tube diameter is the size most facilities standardize on for washroom grab bars, so it will visually match other 1-1/4 inch bars already on your openings. Satin 304 is the usual spec for commercial restrooms because it resists corrosion and hides wear patterns.
7) Are the mounting screws visible after the 5891 grab bar is installed?
No. The mounting flanges are concealed: 11-gauge (3mm) stainless plate, 2 x 3-1/8 inches (50 x 80mm), with six screw holes each for wall attachment. Snap-on flange covers of 22-gauge (0.8mm) stainless, 3-1/4 inches (85mm) in diameter, cover the screws once the bar is fixed. The bar ends pass through the flanges and are heliarc welded, so the bar and flanges are one structural unit rather than a bolted joint.
8) How many fasteners do I need to order for one Bobrick 5891?
One mounting kit, fastener, or anchor per flange. The 5891 is a two-flange bar, so order two of whichever mounting method suits the wall: two 252-30 screw kits into solid backing, two 251-4 WingIt fasteners into hollow wall, or two partition anchors (2583 or 2586) on a stall panel.
