2000 Series Shower Seats

Please see product specification sheets for details.

Composition: Aluminum frame and legs, molded polyethylene seat and back, polyurethane closed-cell foam pads.

Weight load capacity: 348 lbs. for seated users; arms support up to 122 lbs. (arms are designed for assisting a user with entering and exiting seat; do not sit or stand on arms).

Maintenance: Seats should be cleaned routinely with a mild cleanser; do not use abrasives or harsh acidic or alkaline chemicals; remove pads to fully clean all seat parts; flush with water after each cleaning; every few months, check hex nut on fine-tune adjustable foot, adjust if necessary to restore the seat to level, and retighten nut.

Installation requirements: Seat bracket must be fastened to sturdy material that is well supported in the wall framing; typically 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 nominal lumber is installed between studs using cleats or by notching the studs for the blocking (toenailing is not a reliable fastening technique); installers may use plywood instead of lumber, though the total thickness of the plywood blocking should be at least 1½” (two pieces of ¾” thick plywood sandwiched together, for example); be sure to install blocking at the appropriate height for the seat and the user; use ¼”-diameter or #12 screws round head or hex head screws to secure the seat bracket to the wood blocking, and make sure fasteners are long enough to penetrate through all wall materials and bed deeply into the blocking; use stainless steel or galvanized screws in wet area installations.

Additional note: The wall to which a seat bracket is mounted must be plumb for the seat to operate properly.; the fold-up seat and arms, when swung to the vertical position, must be able to swing past 90° to overbalance in the upright position; if the seat bracket is mounted to a wall that is out of plumb, the seat and arms may not be able to swing past 90°, which may prevent the seat and arms from remaining in the fold-up position.
