Bobrick B-542 Coat Hook

Surface mount. The B-542 fastens to a mounting plate on the wall face, and a threaded escutcheon then screws over the plate to conceal the fasteners and close the gap to the wall. No wall recess or in-wall prep is needed, so it goes onto finished tile, drywall, or a toilet partition panel without cutting the surface open.

The escutcheon is 1-15/16 inches (50mm) in diameter, so the hook covers a circle just under 2 inches across. Useful if you are replacing an older hook and want to know whether the new flange will hide the existing holes, or if you are laying it out next to a grab bar or dispenser and need the clearance.

Two finishes: satin stainless and bright polished stainless. Satin is the common commercial choice because it blends with most stainless dispensers and grab bars and hides fingerprints and cleaning marks; bright polished is the mirror-look version for washrooms already trimmed out in polished stainless or chrome. Both are stainless steel, so if you are standardizing a building, pick the one matching the dispensers already on the wall.

The B-542 is stainless steel throughout, which is the reason it shows up in school, stadium, and healthcare washroom specs rather than a plated or plastic hook. Stainless will not rust out under constant humidity or repeated disinfectant wipe-downs, and the concealed mounting plate means the fasteners are not exposed to moisture or to someone picking at them.

Yes. Because it is a surface-mounted hook with a threaded escutcheon closing over the mounting plate, it lands flat on any sound flat surface, including a toilet compartment door or pilaster. The 1-5/16 inch projection is short enough that it clears most stall geometry without catching the door as it swings.
