How to Install a Grab Bar at the Top or Bottom of Stairs · Step 1 of 6
In this video
The video begins by demonstrating the initial placement of the grab bar against the wall next to a toilet. The installer uses a tape measure to determine the horizontal distance from a fixed point (likely a corner or the toilet tank edge) to the center of the first mounting hole on the grab bar's flange. He finds this measurement to be 5 and 5/8 inches. Simultaneously, he estimates the vertical height from the floor to the desired grab bar position, noting 37 1/2 inches as the target height. This process involves 'eyeballing' the general positioning before precise marking.
