CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY!
!
We strongly recommend that you give some thought as to the
optimal location of your PT-Rails before installation. The
following suggestions are offered for your consideration,
however, it is recommended to consider advice from the
appropriate healthcare professional for locating of any
support rail. The PT Rails may be installed on only one side
or, more typically, both sides of a toilet. The PT Rail(s)
typically provide(s) most optimal support with a height to top
rail (H) of between 32-34” (81-86 cm), or more in some
cases.
In the case of two PT Rails being installed, one on each side
of the toilet, a suggested width between top rails (W) would
be in the range of 28 - 32” (71-81 cm). Always ensure that
the proposed location of your PT Rail will not obstruct access
to other parts of the bathroom. For folding models, ensure
that the space above the rail is clear to permit folding.
