Additional Information

General Info

Make sure your weight bearing wall mounted equipment is secure with WingIts™.

The WingIt™ is like an oversized molly bolt. With 5/8" sheet rock (common in commercial facilities), no blocking is needed, which means there is no need to tear open and reconstruct existing walls, saving time and money.

In residential installations, it is still preferable to have blocking if you are installing over ½" dry wall. (WingIts™ alone with ½" drywall will only hold up to 250 pounds). However, installation over ceramic tile, tub surrounds, or marble do not require blocking and can handle up to 800 pounds.

Assembly is difficult, special skills may be required.

ADA Compliance

Complies with ADA section 4.26.3 Structural Strength.

"The structural strength of grab bars, tub and shower seats, fasteners, and mounting devices shall meet the following specification:

  • Bending stress in a grab bar or seat induced by the maximum bending moment from the application of 250 lbf (1112N) shall be less than the allowable stress for the material of the grab bar or seat.

  • Shear stress induced in a grab bar or seat by the application of 250 lbf (1112N) shall be less than the allowable shear stress for the material of the grab bar or seat. If the connection between the grab bar or seat and its mounting bracket or other support is considered to be fully restrained, then direct and torsional shear stresses shall be totaled for the combined shear stress, which shall not exceed the allowable shear stress.

  • Shear force induced in a fastener or mounting device from the application of 250 lbf (1112N) shall be less than the allowable lateral load of either the fastener or mounting device or the supporting structure, whichever is the smaller allowable load.

  • Tensile force induced in a fastener by a direct tension force of 250 lbf (1112N) plus the maximum moment from the application of 250 lbf (1112N) shall be less than the allowable withdrawal load between the fastener and the supporting structure.

  • Grab bars shall not rotate within their fittings."
