Fixings are not normally supplied, as they depend on your floor and ceiling construction. We recommend installation by a competent installer, and an occupational therapist can advise on the best position for the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes \u0026amp; product codes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVersion\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\u003eSupport Pole 2750mm x 37mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01720\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295106628\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupport Pole 2750mm x 32mm with 500mm Stay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01730\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295106635\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 1700 Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2750mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37mm (01720) \/ 32mm (01730)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStay\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500mm stay on 01730\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEnd plate fixings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 (01720) \/ 4 (01730)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStandard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBS EN 12182:1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEarthing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the pole?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth versions are 2750mm long.
