Bradley 8520-001240

The Bradley 8520-001240 commercial grab bar is the 24 in. length in the 852 Series. Its 1 in. outside diameter tube is 18 gauge stainless steel with a satin finish, and it surface mounts on concealed hardware. The 24 in. size covers a tub wall or shower control wall in one piece and gives a longer reach than the 18 in. bar in the same line.

Concealed mounting hides the wall plates and screws under the bar ends, so there are no exposed fasteners to loosen, rust, or trap dirt. The tube is heavy-duty stainless and the satin surface holds up under routine cleaning. Bradley lists the 852 Series as Buy American Act compliant.

Bradley rates the 852 Series to support up to 250 lb, and the manufacturer states that its heavy duty bars meet ANSI A117.1, ADAAG, and UFAS when properly mounted. Keep in mind that ADA 609.2 specifies a 1-1/4 to 2 in. gripping surface, so confirm a 1 in. bar against the project's accessibility schedule before placing it in an accessible stall. Other lengths and a Safety Grip finish are listed separately.
