SAFETY WARNING: Shower seats are no stronger than the anchors and walls to which they are attached and must be firmly secured in order to support the loads for which they are intended. Consult and comply with local building codes. To avoid potential injury, the building owner or maintenance personnel should remove the shower seat from service if the shower seat is not adequately secured to the wall. In the interests of safety and the protection of end users, this seat should not be used to support weights exceeding 360lbs (163 kg).

    Bobrick BOB517 – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Is the Bobrick B-517 shower seat right hand or left hand, and how do I tell which one I need?
    The B-517 is the right-hand version. Handing is determined facing the seat from inside the shower: a right-hand seat mounts so the seat folds against the wall on your right and the support leg or bracket geometry follows that side. Order the left-hand model if your grab bar wall and transfer approach are on the opposite side. Getting this wrong puts the seat on the wrong side of the transfer.
    2) Is the Bobrick B-517 ADA compliant for a commercial or multi-family shower?
    Yes. The B-517 is listed as ADA compliant and complies with the Planning Guide for Accessible Restrooms. For an accessible transfer shower the seat still has to be mounted at the correct height and on the wall opposite the controls per your local code, so compliance depends on installed position as much as the product itself.
    3) What is the seat made of, and will it hold up in a wet commercial shower?
    The cushion is foam-padded white water-resistant Naugahyde, 1-1/2 inches (38mm) thick, over an enclosed 1/2 inch (13mm) plywood base. The frame and mounting brackets are type 304 stainless steel. The plywood core is sealed inside the upholstery rather than exposed, and 304 stainless is the standard choice for wet washroom hardware, which is why this configuration shows up in hotels, healthcare and multi-family bathing rooms.
    4) Does the B-517 fold up on its own or stay down?
    It is a folding seat with a self-locking mechanism, so it holds in the up position against the wall instead of drifting down into the shower. That is what makes it workable in a shared or multi-use shower where the stall has to stay clear for standing users between transfers.
    5) Is a padded folding seat like the B-517 the right choice, or should I use a solid phenolic or slatted seat?
    The B-517 is the padded option: a cushioned Naugahyde top over a plywood core, which is more comfortable for longer seated bathing and common in healthcare and senior housing. Slatted or solid-surface folding seats drain and dry faster and take heavier scrubbing and disinfecting cycles, so they often win in high-turnover institutional showers. If your concern is occupant comfort, the padded seat; if it is sanitation throughput and abuse, look at a solid-surface folding seat instead.
    6) Can I use the B-517 as a grab bar or lean on it when it is folded up?
    No. It is a seat rated for 360 lbs of seated load and nothing else. Grab bars are a separate item and have to be anchored and located on their own per accessible design requirements. Bobrick warns that loading the seat beyond its rating can cause it to malfunction and injure the user, so do not treat it as a support rail.
