Bobrick B-4998 Swing-Up Grab Bar – Wall Mounted

Same bar, different gripping surface. The plain B-4998 is satin finish stainless with a slip-resistant surface; the B-4998.99 adds a peened texture to the tube for extra grip when hands are wet. Dimensions, material and load rating are identical, so pick the peened version for showers and wet transfer areas and the satin for general restroom use.

A swing-up bar like the B-4998 is the one to use where the fixture sits away from a side wall or where you need the floor clear for a wheelchair transfer, because the 29 inch bar lifts out of the way against the wall. A fixed straight bar is the better choice when there is a solid wall right beside the toilet or inside a shower, since it gives a continuous grip with no moving parts. The B-4998 is surface mounted, so it can go on a finished wall without opening it up.

Yes. It is stainless steel with a slip-resistant satin surface and is intended for bath, shower and toilet compartment use. In a shower the peened version (B-4998.99) is worth specifying, since the textured tube holds better with soap and water on it.

Satin stainless is the standard commercial washroom finish, so the B-4998 lines up visually with satin dispensers, mirrors and fixed bars from the same family. If some of your openings already use peened bars for grip, order the peened version instead so the whole restroom reads the same.
