The ASI 0755-SS18 is a heavy-duty towel bar designed for surface mounting in a shower area, hotel or institutional bathroom or other area in your commercial facilities. The towel bar is made from type-304, 18-8 alloy, 20-gauge stainless steel tubing that measures 1 inch in diameter. The bar is securely welded to support posts at either end. These posts are fashioned out of solid cast brass. The design of the unit prevents the towel bar from rotating on the support posts, making it extra strong and resistant to tampering. The towel bar measures 18 inches in length and has an attractive satin finish. Once installed on any hard surface, the towel bar extends from the wall by 2-1/2 inches. The flanges included in the design are outfitted with three countersunk mounting holes, each of which measures 5/16 of an inch in diameter. When installed properly, the towel bar complies fully with ADA barrier-free accessibility guidelines.
