ASI 8358 Fold-Up Tub Seat, Solid Phenolic
The ASI 8358 is a surface-mounted, fold-up tub seat for installation over a bathtub. It has ivory-white solid phenolic slats with black edges and a satin-finish Type 304 stainless steel frame; the manufacturer describes the seat as designed to meet and exceed applicable accessibility requirements, with installation and wall reinforcement critical to performance.
Specifications
- Seat: 1/2" (13 mm) thick, slotted solid phenolic slats; ivory-white top and bottom surfaces with black edges.
- Frame, mounting bracket, and retainer hook: satin-finish Type 304 stainless steel.
- Seat width: 15" (387 mm); projection from wall: 33-3/4" (860 mm).
- Manual one-hand operation; a heavy-wire detent in the retainer bracket helps prevent the raised seat from dropping.
- Manufacturer load rating: 500 lb when properly installed.
- Manufacturer warranty: one year from invoice date.
Installation
Position the seat directly over the tub, with the mounting-bracket knuckle 1/8" to 1/4" (3 to 6 mm) above the tub so the frame cushion grip-pads rest on the tub rim when lowered. Concealed wall blocking or an anchor plate and suitable mounting hardware are required; these are supplied by others. The manufacturer states that adequate reinforcement and fasteners are necessary for the load rating and accessibility performance.
