Bobrick 5897 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bobrick B-5897 grab bar fit an ADA toilet compartment with the water closet in the corner?
That is exactly the configuration it is built for. The B-5897 is a two-wall (corner) grab bar measuring 42 inches by 54 inches, so the 42 inch leg runs along one wall and the 54 inch leg along the other, meeting in the corner of a compartment, tub, or shower. Bobrick states the unit meets ADA Accessibility Guidelines in the U.S. Confirm your stall walls give you the full 42 and 54 inch runs before you order.
2) What is the difference between the satin and satin peened versions of the Bobrick B-5897?
Both are Type-304 stainless steel with a satin finish; the peened option adds a dimpled, textured gripping surface on the tube for extra slip resistance, which is common in showers and wet areas or where users may have limited grip. The plain satin version already has a slip resistant surface. Pick peened for tub and shower installs, satin for a standard dry toilet compartment or to match existing smooth bars in the building.
3) Is the B-5897 grab bar 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch diameter?
The tubing is 1-1/4 inch (32mm) diameter. That is the smaller of the two common grab bar sizes and it sits inside the ADA graspable range, so it reads the same in the hand as the 1-1/4 inch bars already in most commercial restrooms. If your building standardized on 1-1/2 inch bars, this one will not visually match them.
4) How does the Bobrick B-5897 mount, and do the screws show?
It is a surface mounted bar: the flanges fasten to the wall and a snap-on cover plate conceals the mounting screws for a finished look and to keep fasteners out of reach. Fasteners and anchors need to suit your wall construction, so plan for blocking or approved anchors behind the finish at each flange.
5) Can I use a two-wall corner grab bar instead of separate rear and side wall bars?
Yes, and that is the point of the B-5897. Rather than ordering a straight rear bar and a straight side bar and aligning them on site, you get one continuous 42 x 54 inch corner assembly that turns at the wall junction, so there is no gap at the corner and only one set of flange locations to lay out. Separate straight bars are the better choice when the two walls are not at a true corner, when the compartment layout forces different lengths, or when you only need to replace one leg.
6) Can the Bobrick B-5897 grab bar be installed in a tub or shower?
Yes. Bobrick lists it as designed to fit into the corner of a compartment, tub, or shower, and the Type-304 stainless construction holds up to constant wet exposure. For a wet install the peened version is worth specifying, since the textured surface gives a better hold on a soapy or wet hand than the smooth satin tube.
7) Is the B-5897 heavy enough for a high-traffic public restroom?
It is made from 18-gauge Type-304 stainless steel tubing, the wall thickness and alloy Bobrick uses for commercial washroom grab bars. Type-304 handles the humidity and the cleaning chemicals used in public restrooms without rusting, which is why it is specified in schools, healthcare, and stadium washrooms rather than plated steel.
8) Will the satin stainless B-5897 match other Bobrick washroom accessories already installed?
The bar is satin-finish stainless steel, which is Bobrick's standard washroom finish, so it lines up visually with satin stainless dispensers, dryers, and mirrors already on the wall. If you are matching bars specifically, note the choice between plain satin and peened, since the peened texture is visibly dimpled next to a smooth satin tube.
