Drive Clamp-On Tub Rail Adjustable Height - RTL12036-ADJ

The Drive adjustable clamp-on tub rail, item RTL12036-ADJ, is Drive's height-adjustable steel rail that clamps onto the tub wall. Westin Healthcare sells it, delivers it, and can fit it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Drive prints a 300 lb (136 kg) rating, a 14.5 to 17 in (36.8 to 43.2 cm) handle, and a clamp that opens from 3 to 7 in (7.6 to 17.8 cm).

Drive's own card says the 14.5 to 17 in height adjustment is for RTL12036-ADJ only. The fixed-height sibling is item 12036. This is not a wall grab bar and it is not the plastic 12044 rail.

Who this rail is for

The Drive RTL12036-ADJ clamp-on tub rail is for a person who wants a handhold on the tub wall without drilling, whose tub wall measures between 3 and 7 in, and who wants the handle set somewhere between 14.5 and 17 in. Stay at or under Drive's 300 lb rating.

Drive prints that the rail fits most tubs and that you should tighten carefully on fiberglass. That is the whole fiberglass sentence. We set the height and the clamp at delivery in Brampton and the GTA.

• Handle height 14.5 to 17 in (36.8 to 43.2 cm), parallel to the tub
• Clamp 3 to 7 in (7.6 to 17.8 cm) on the tub wall
• 300 lb (136 kg) white powder-coated steel, tool-free

Clamp fit and tub-wall thickness

Drive's clamp on RTL12036-ADJ opens from 3 to 7 in (7.6 to 17.8 cm). Measure the thickness of the tub wall at the spot you will clamp. If that number sits inside 3 to 7 in, Drive's clamp can cover it. If the wall is thinner than 3 in or thicker than 7 in, this rail is the wrong tool.

Installation is tool-free. Drive uses a stainless steel locking mechanism and non-wearing rubber pads that it calls scratch-proof. Clean and dry the tub wall, open the clamp, seat the pads, and tighten until the rail does not shift. Drive's fiberglass line is one sentence: tighten carefully when using with fiberglass tubs.

Set the handle height before you lean on it. Retighten the clamp after the first few baths.

Height, grip, and build

Drive prints 14.5 to 17 in (36.8 to 43.2 cm) for RTL12036-ADJ only. The handle sits parallel to the tub. The frame is white powder-coated steel. Drive prints a unit weight of 6.5 lb (2.9 kg).

If you want the same clamp at a fixed 14.5 in, that is 12036. If you want a plastic rail with the handle standing perpendicular to the tub, that is the Drive Plastic Tub Rail (12044), which clamps 3 to 6.25 in.

Adjustable or fixed Drive rail

RTL12036-ADJ is the height-adjustable Drive clamp-on. 12036 is the same white steel family locked at 14.5 in. Both clamp 3 to 7 in and both rate 300 lb. The Drive Plastic Tub Rail is the recycled plastic sibling at 16.5 in with a 3 to 6.25 in clamp. A wall grab bar, such as the HealthCraft Easy Mount, needs the wall and the carton hardware instead of a tub clamp.

There is no floor-to-tub rail on our bath-tub-rails shelf today. The other clamp-on on that shelf is the AquaSense Multi-Adjust Bath Safety Rail (785-340).

Funding help for bathroom safety equipment in Ontario
