Top view, showing an typical cut-out profile. Note the grab bar style ADA support grips on the front and left side of the vanity deck, as well as additional supply line access area on the right for a hand-held water faucet. These additional features were added to help provide a very usable lavatory experience for disabled or physically impaired users.

ADA-SideViewWheelchair400

ADA compliance requires mounting at a designated height, so the wheelchair maintains adequate clearance under the bowl. Wheelchair bound individuals can easily roll under this bowl and deck.

Optional Grab Bar Speedy Plugs

Easily and quickly add cast-in grab bars on any deck edge for ADA and other applications!

Two Grab Bar speedy plugs are available as options, so you can cast in one or more handles into any vanity deck intended for ADA or other applications.

This mold insert is easy to use. Just position the bottom half onto a deck mold surface, in the position you want the handle to be, and adhere it with double sided tape or wax. Then, position the upper half on the lower half, by setting it down onto the two alignment pins (see lower half below). Gelcoat your mold like usual. Cast to the height of the top surface of the joined pair, then after the deck casting has cured, simply lift the upper half away from the casting. When you demold the deck casting, the lower half will remain in position on the mold, and can be lifted away and stored until the next use. Easy and convenient!
