Bobrick 985 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does vandal-resistant actually mean on the Bobrick B-985 hook strip?
Two things. The hooks snap down if they are excessively loaded, so someone hanging off one bends the hook down rather than tearing the plate off the wall, and the unit ships with tamper-resistant mounting screws so it cannot be removed with a standard driver. The back plate is 14-gauge (2mm) type 304 stainless, which is what lets it take that abuse.
2) Is the Bobrick B-985 hook strip ADA compliant?
Bobrick lists the B-985 as ADA compliant. Compliance still depends on your mounting height, so set the hook height to the reach range your facility's accessible stall or locker room requires.
3) How many hooks does the Bobrick B-985 hook strip have, and how far do they stick out?
Four stainless steel hooks on one back plate, each projecting 1-1/4 inches (30mm) off the plate. That short projection is part of why it works in tight spots like a toilet compartment side wall or a locker room bench wall, where a deeper hook would be a snag point.
4) Will a stainless hook strip hold up in a wet locker room or shower area?
The B-985 is type 304 stainless with a satin finish throughout, back plate and hooks, so humidity and frequent washdown are within what it is built for. Satin also hides fingerprints and light scratching better than a mirror finish in high-traffic washrooms.
5) Should I use a four-hook strip or individual clothes hooks in a restroom?
One B-985 strip gives you four hooks on a single 18 inch plate, which means one set of tamper-resistant fasteners and one layout line instead of four. That is the better call on a locker room wall, changing area, or behind a staff room door. Single hooks still make more sense inside a narrow toilet compartment where there is not 18 inches of clear wall.
6) Does the Bobrick B-985 come with mounting hardware?
Yes, tamper-resistant mounting screws are furnished with the unit. What is not supplied is the wall anchor appropriate to your substrate, so for hollow block, tile over board, or metal stud you will want to spec anchors to match the wall and the abuse level the location sees.
