Before You Install:
ADAAG recommends Grab Bars be installed horizontally 33” - 36”
from the floor.
• Verify the length of the grab bar by measuring from the inside of
one flange to the outside of the other.
• To ensure adequate clearance, a stud finder should be used to
verify there are no studs within the area where the WingIts
®
will
be installed. Make sure that there is at least 1.5” away from
the edge of the stud. If concerned, drill a pilot hole and insert
a piece of wire in the shape of an “L” - twirl the wire to make
sure there is nothing in the way. Once inserted, each wing
assembly will spring open almost 3” in diameter
• Tools Required: Screwdriver, 1.25” Drill
