Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

Installation: The dual flange mounting system ensures secure attachment to various Australian wall types, from brick veneer to steel stud construction. Install at 450-500mm height from finished floor to meet Australian accessibility standards and building codes. The two mounting flanges with three fixing points each provide primary support, while the guide flange with four fixing points ensures smooth folding operation. The included stainless steel fixations accommodate standard Australian building materials and construction methods.

Maintenance: AISI 304 stainless steel requires regular maintenance to preserve its corrosion resistance and appearance in Australian bathroom environments. Monthly cleaning with specialized stainless steel products prevents dust accumulation that can damage the chromium content. The perforated phenolic seat should be cleaned regularly to maintain drainage efficiency and hygiene standards. The folding mechanism and spring system require periodic inspection to ensure smooth operation and safety compliance.

Care Instructions

• Clean stainless steel surfaces monthly with specialized stainless steel cleaner to preserve finish
• Wipe down perforated phenolic seat after each use to prevent soap and mineral buildup
• Test folding mechanism weekly to ensure smooth operation and spring tension
• Inspect mounting points quarterly for any loosening or structural concerns
• Check drainage holes in phenolic seat monthly to ensure proper water flow
• Remove any calcium or mineral deposits immediately to prevent staining
• Verify weight capacity compliance during routine safety inspections

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the 450-500mm installation height comply with Australian Disability Standards (DDA) for accessible bathroom design?
A: The 450-500mm installation height range aligns with Australian Disability Standards AS 1428.1, which specifies shower seat heights between 450-480mm from finished floor level. This height accommodates wheelchair transfer while remaining accessible for standing users with mobility limitations. The range allows adjustment for different user needs while maintaining compliance with Australian building codes and accessibility requirements for both residential and commercial applications.

Q: Can the AISI 304 stainless steel handle Australia's coastal environments with high salt content and humidity?
A: Yes, AISI 304 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance in Australian coastal conditions, including high humidity and salt air exposure common in beachside homes and facilities. The austenitic structure resists pitting and crevice corrosion typical in marine environments. However, regular maintenance with specialized stainless steel cleaners becomes even more critical in coastal areas to remove salt deposits before they can affect the chromium protective layer.

Q: How does the 100kg weight capacity accommodate the diverse body weights found in Australian aged care facilities?
A: The 100kg capacity provides substantial safety margin for Australian aged care applications, as it exceeds the weight requirements for most elderly residents while accommodating staff assistance scenarios. Australian aged care standards typically require equipment rated well above average user weights, and this 100kg capacity meets those safety requirements. The robust AISI 304 construction and professional mounting system distribute loads effectively, ensuring reliable performance even with dynamic loading from transfers and repositioning.

Q: Does the perforated phenolic seat material meet Australian fire safety standards for healthcare and aged care facilities?
A: Yes, phenolic resin materials typically meet Australian fire safety requirements for healthcare applications, offering good flame resistance and low smoke emission properties. The material is commonly specified in Australian healthcare facilities because it resists ignition and doesn't support flame spread. The 8mm thickness provides structural integrity while the perforated design enhances drainage and reduces material volume, further improving fire performance characteristics required in Australian commercial and healthcare environments.
