Drive Splash Defense Transfer Bench with Curtain Guard

The Drive Splash Defense Transfer Bench with Curtain Guard is Drive item RTL12032KDR, a 400 lb (181 kg) bath transfer bench with a U-shaped seat cut-out. Westin Healthcare sells it and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. The cut-out lets the shower curtain liner stay inside the tub.

Drive rates RTL12032KDR at 400 lb (181 kg). Seat height is 17.5 in to 22.5 in (44 cm to 57 cm) in 1/2 in Dual Column clicks. The bench is reversible. Assembly of the back, legs, and arm is tool-free.

Who this transfer bench is for

This Splash Defense transfer bench is for a person who stays at or under the 400 lb rating and who wants the curtain liner to drop through the U-cut so water stays in the tub. Families usually call us when a standard bench pushes the curtain outside the tub and wets the floor.

If you do not need the U-cut, start with the Drive Transfer Tub Bench. If you want a cushion, see the Drive Padded Transfer Bench.

• U-shaped cut-out for the shower curtain liner
• Reversible 400 lb A-frame
• Tool-free setup and a pinch-free height lever

Seat height and tub fit

Sit on the bench with your feet flat. Drive prints Dual Column clicks in 1/2 in increments and a 17.5 in to 22.5 in (44 cm to 57 cm) seat-to-floor range on RTL12032KDR. Match every leg to the same hole before you sit.

Drive prints that this bench fits tubs with a maximum height of 15.5 in (39 cm), a minimum bottom width of 18.5 in (47 cm), a minimum top width of 23 in (58 cm), and a maximum edge width of 5.5 in (14 cm). Drive's current sheet does not print a seat width or seat depth. Come into a Brampton or Toronto store if you want to sit on the bench before you order.

Curtain guard, frame, and assembly

The U-shaped cut-out is the Splash Defense feature. Drive prints that it lets the shower curtain liner stay inside the bathtub so water does not spill onto the floor. The bench and backrest are blow-molded plastic on an A-frame. The bench is reversible.

Assembly is tool-free: back, legs, and arm. Drive prints a pinch-free lever for the push pins, and that the plastic parts use recycled materials. We can put it together at delivery.

Which transfer bench fits this bathroom

A shower chair sits inside the tub. A transfer bench bridges the wall. Splash Defense is the Drive bench whose U-cut keeps the curtain liner in the tub.

Stay on RTL12032KDR when floor splash from the curtain is the problem you want to solve. Use the 12011KD-1 if you want the same 400 lb plastic family without the U-cut. Use the RTL12075 sliding bench if the person wants the seat to roll along the frame.
