The decorative Crescent Grab Bar is curved designed for a strong hand grip that supports over 500 lbs. If a wall stud is not available at the desired installation location, the Crescent Grab Bar is compatible with HealthCraft’s Easy Mount Hollow Wall Anchors, allowing for secure installation without the need for studs. To install the Crescent Grab Bar, you can follow these steps: Select the Installation Location: Choose a location where the grab bar will provide support, such as over a circular shower valve or in a bathtub area. Ensure the chosen spot aligns with wall studs for maximum stability. Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to identify the positions of wall studs in the selected area. Mark the stud locations with a pencil at the desired height for the grab bar. Position the Grab Bar: Hold the grab bar against the wall, aligning the 9-hole flanges with the marked stud locations. Use a level to ensure the bar is properly aligned. Mark Drill Holes: Using the flanges as templates, mark the positions for the drill holes on the wall. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions to facilitate screw insertion. Apply Silicone Sealant: Before attaching the grab bar, fill each pilot hole with silicone kitchen & bath sealant to create a waterproof barrier. Apply a layer of silicone sealant on the back of each flange to ensure a watertight seal between the flange and the wall. Attach the Grab Bar: Align the flanges with the pilot holes and secure the grab bar to the wall studs using the provided screws. Tighten the screws firmly to ensure stability. Conceal Mounting Hardware: Slide the flange covers over the mounting flanges to hide the screws, providing a clean and finished appearance. Verify Stability: Apply pressure to the grab bar to ensure it is securely mounted and capable of supporting weight as intended.
