is a recognized leader in grab bars, offering a broad selection of standard models as well as custom configurations.
TSM bars are manufactured to exacting quality criteria. There are three tubing sizes and eight flanges from which to
TSM choose, more than any other grab bar manufacturer. All parts are type 304 stainless steel, heliarc welded to form
one complete unit. Bends are 90˚ and 1 ⁄ 2" wall clearance is standard (38mm). TSM offers a wide variety of bars that meet or exceed all

building codes for barrier-free design. In addition, all of the models featured on pages 18-23 can be modified to different dimensions to
fit your needs. If you have a custom configuration in mind unlike any of the standard models, see page 23. All TSM grab bars meet or exceed
the structural strength requirements of current U.S. building codes and ADA guidelines (300 pounds/1335N). Fastener kits are ordered separately
(see page 23).
