It is a 25mm diameter tubular rail with flat ends, finished in a white polyester epoxy powder coating applied over a rust-inhibiting treatment, so it stays clean and bright in everyday use. Choose from three lengths – \u003cstrong\u003e305mm, 445mm or 600mm\u003c\/strong\u003e – to give support exactly where it is needed: beside the toilet, next to the bath, inside a shower area or by a step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is a budget-friendly, no-fuss design, the 1000 Series is a popular choice for adaptation work, housing association and local authority schemes, and for anyone who needs a few extra handholds around the home without a big outlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features \u0026amp; benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild steel tube, 25mm diameter – a comfortable size for most hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite polyester epoxy powder coating over a rust-inhibitor treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt-spray tested to ASTM B117-87 for 96 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43mm clearance between the rail and the wall, room for knuckles and a secure grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat ends with two fixing holes at each end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree lengths: 305mm, 445mm and 600mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right length\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e305mm\u003c\/strong\u003e rails suit tight spots such as beside a basin or a door frame. \u003cstrong\u003e445mm\u003c\/strong\u003e is a good all-round length for beside a toilet or bath. \u003cstrong\u003e600mm\u003c\/strong\u003e gives a longer handhold for stepping in and out of a shower or bath, and can be fitted horizontally, vertically or at an angle.

Always use fixings suited to the wall type (solid masonry, timber stud or plasterboard with noggins or a pattress board) and fit the rail with every fixing point used. Wall fixings are not normally supplied, because the right fixing depends on your wall. Check for hidden pipes and cables before drilling. Where a rail is being fitted for a specific person, an occupational therapist can advise on the best height and position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes \u0026amp; product codes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAKW code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEAN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e305mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01000E\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295100190\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e445mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01010E\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295100213\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01020E\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295100237\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAKW 1000 Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMild steel tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite polyester epoxy powder coat over rust inhibitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRail-to-wall clearance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTube wall thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLengths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e305mm, 445mm, 600mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFixings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo holes at each end (wall fixings not supplied)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCorrosion test\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASTM B117-87 salt spray, 96 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this rail in a shower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is powder coated over a rust inhibitor and salt-spray tested, so it is suitable for bathrooms.
