3 Rails Grab Rails Grab Grab rails are used to assist with balance and support, as an aid to assist with transfers, or in areas where a slip or fall is considered a risk. Common areas of use include assisting individuals with transfers on and off the toilet or in and out of a bath, providing stability and support in the shower or assisting with mobilising up and down a single step. Grab rails differ in use from hand rails which are more commonly used for guidance and stability when negotiating large changes in levels, such as alongside a staircase. When selecting and positioning a grab rail it is important to consider the environment where the rail will be installed, the intended purpose of the rail, the individual functional capacity and needs of the user, and the relevant standards and legislation. Please note, images of Grab Rails reproduced in this catalogue are not to size and colours may vary 2013 Grab Rail Catalogue 3

5 Guide Range Guide Range Custom Length Recommended for the majority of installations. Length can be customised to suit the specific application and ensure the rail is firmly secured using two points of fixing (not always feasible with Fixed Length). Our special Custom Kits allow the length of the grab rail to be customised at the time of installation. This allows for prescription of a non-standard length to suit the individual needs of the user or the home environment. More importantly, it ensures that the grab rail can always be mounted using two points of fixing (installer can cut rail to fit wall studs). Available in 32 mm diameter rail and supplied in lengths of 500 mm or 1000 mm for maximum versatility plus a pair elbow ends and fastenings. elbow 180mm elbow 180mm 1000 mm rail cut to any length 500 mm rail cut to any length elbow 180mm elbow 180mm Fixed Length Best used for vertical installation or when 25 mm diameter is required.

6 Guide Range Guide Range Diameter Optimal rail diameter should allow the user s hand to encircle and be in complete contact with the rail when gripping. Australian Standards recommends that the outside diameter of a grab rail be between 30 and 40 mm, although this may not always suit the needs of each individual user. A grab rail with a 32 mm diameter is usually recommended although 25 mm diameter fixed length rails are also available. 25 mm 32 mm Finish Choose from the range of different finishes and/or textures available in each range. Grab rails are available in a variety of materials. If using the rail in a wet area it is important to consider materials that do not rust such as stainless steel. Some materials retain temperatures and may not be suitable in very hot or cold environments. The finish on the grab rail is important for both aesthetic and safety considerations. Chrome Plated Satin Stainless Steel White (Powder Coated) Almond Ivory (Powder Coated) Safety considerations It is important to regularly check rails and fittings for any signs of rusting, insecure attachment, rotation in the fitting or change of shape. Consideration must be given to the size and strength of the grab rail so that it is appropriate for the person using it. Consider the amount of weight an individual will put through the grab rail and their ability to grasp the rail safely. 6 For more information or to order, freecall

7 Guide Range Guide Range Positioning Evadale provides a range of simple positioning diagrams to assist in providing clear installation instruction. Australian Standards provides guidelines regarding the location of grab rails in different environments, however it is important to tailor the position of the rail to the individual user s needs. Our Custom Length range ensures rails can be precisely and safely customised to fit any location. The location and direction of a grab rail needs to take into consideration the user s functional capacity and body mechanics (hand strength, range of movement in joints), their size (height and arm reach), the local environment and the intended purpose of the rail. Grab rails should be positioned close enough to reach, and high enough to provide support to gain the required momentum and stability. The direction of the grab rail should also depend on the purpose of the rail. Most importantly, grab rails should be mounted using two points of fixing for maximum user safety and security. This requires fastenings to be screwed into wall frames, which are typically 450 mm apart. Again, our Custom Length Kits ensure complete flexibility at time of installation.
