The Bobrick B-5191 Barrier Free Shower Dressing Area Seat is the perfect way to ensure compliance with barrier-free accessibility guidelines in your company shower or dressing area. The seat is made from phenolic, which is waterproof and will not allow bacteria to linger on the surface of the seat. The standard color for the seat is ivory. Slots in the seat's design allow water to drain onto the floor, and the piece is intended to never require oiling. When not in use, the shower and dressing area seat can be folded up against the wall, and its mounting height can be customized to make it easier to clean the floors. The seat is 5/16 inches thick and can support up to 450 pounds of weight. Stainless steel bolts and acorn nuts ensure an incredibly secure installation to any surface.

OPERATION:

Support system with guide bracket allows varying mounting heights and leaves floor clear for easier cleaning. Nonporous solid phenolic seat has slots to permit water to drain, does not splinter or require oiling, and will not support growth of bacteria. Slotless round-head carriage bolts and acorn nuts provide additional safety to user. Bobrick shower seats, when properly installed, have sufficient strength to support 500 lbs., (227 kg) complying with accessible design guidelines (including ADAAG in the U.S.A.).

INSTALLATION:
Secure unit to wall at points indicated by an S, with the two mounting flanges located at top and the baseplate and guide bracket below. The bottom of support bracket must be positioned between the baseplate and guide bracket before they are secured to wall or partition. Mounting height of shower seat must comply with local building codes.

For stud walls, provide concealed backing to comply with local building codes and secure with #14 x 2-1/2" (6.3 x 65mm) stainless steel sheet-metal screws furnished by manufacturer.

INSTALL SAFETY PLATE TO WALL:
Safety Plate is to be mounted on wall near Shower Seat in order to properly advise users of the Seat's weight restrictions. Correct installation of the Safety Plate will ensure that the Shower Seat meets A.N.S.I. Standards. Permanently affix Safety Plate to wall on either side of the Shower Seat at a minimum height of 30" (760mm). If mounted above Seat, the Plate must be high enough so that it is not covered when Seat is on the up position. Mounting screws (4) are recommended, but double-sided tape on rear of Plate may be used for very smooth, non-porous surfaces.
