Grab bar NumberiNG SyStem
numbering system is straightforward and easy to comprehend. Each part of the model number describes either
TSM’s the configuration or a feature of the bar. In most cases, the model number corresponds to the dimensions of the
bar. For instance, in the example below the model 1632 measures 16" horizontal x 32" vertical centerline. A modification of the bar
at 17" horizontal x 21" vertical would be model 1632M @ 17" x 21".
