Which bathtub grab bars do I need and where should I place them to be ADA compliant? (Quantity, Shape, Length, Wall Location, and Placement Height).
⚠️This is a guide for commercial bathtub grab bar placement (such as in an accessible hotel bathroom), where grab bar placement must abide by ADA handicap placement guidelines.
For residential bathtub grab bar placement (such as in a private home), where placement is at the discretion of the user and not subject to ADA, read our Bathtub Grab Bar Placement Guide.
Grab bars are required by ADA law in accessible bathing facilities. Understanding ADA grab bar installation guidelines is critical for being issued a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). A new building cannot be legally occupied until a CO has been issued, and incorrect installation of grab bars can result in inspection failures and delayed openings. Don’t let this happen to you!
In regards to bathing facilities, the ADA has two distinct grab bar placement requirements contingent upon location of the bath seat in the shower. These two distinctions are:
- Bath With Seat in Tub
- Bath With Seat at Head of Tub
