I wish to fit a pair of 300mm grab rails for a low-level WC (on the walls either side of the WC), and require an authorative source of guidance, ideally *with drawings*.

E.g., this is one source, but is without drawings.

  • You are getting too complicated.
    Sit the person who needs the grab rails on the toilet.
    Ask them to reach out & find where the rails need to be for THEIR comfortable use.
    Mark & fit to wall.
    Or fit a raised toilet seat.

    See photo for the mixed orientation (vertical + sloped rails) suggested by local OT Community support, following site assessment.

    Also, this Australian site is useful, e.g., search for ‘grabrail orientations’: https://www.homemods.info/
