PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Ponte Giulio Bathtub Folding Bench with Antimicrobial Nylon Seat (Series SKUs: G02JDS18 & G02JDS19) is a commercial-grade, wall-mounted bathtub seating solution engineered specifically for alcove tub configurations, universal design residential developments, and commercial ADA-compliant rest areas. Designed to span across standard tub enclosures, this bench features a 4.5-inch structural foot that rests directly on the outer tub rim, distributing 50% of the weight load to the tub structure. The seating surface is constructed from polished antimicrobial polyamide (nylon) slats over a vinyl-coated structural steel core. An integrated tension friction hinge holds the bench securely in a vertical stowed position when not in use.

Key Performance & Construction Features
- 452-Pound Vertical Static Load Rating: Engineered for optimal weight distribution—the wall anchors support 50% of the vertical load while the 4.5-inch integrated foot transfers the remaining 50% to the outer bathtub rim.
- Antimicrobial Polyamide (Nylon) Slats: Smooth, warm-touch nylon seating surface with built-in antimicrobial properties to permanently inhibit bacterial and fungal growth.
- Tension Friction Control Hinge: Internal friction mechanism prevents the seat from dropping unexpectedly, locking the bench flat against the wall when folded upward.
- Vinyl-Coated Stainless Steel Chassis: Structural internal framework constructed from stainless steel and heavy-gauge steel covered in a smooth, non-porous vinyl protective layer.
- Dual Width Sizing Options: Available in 27-15/16" width (G02JDS18) and 31-7/8" width (G02JDS19) to fit most standard alcove bathtub dimensions.
- Wood Stud Mounting Package Included: Supplied complete with heavy-duty structural mounting hardware for direct structural wood stud or wall blocking installation.
Regulatory Compliance & Installation Notes
To ensure full ADA and building code compliance:
- ADA Compliance: When mounted securely into solid wood studs or approved structural wall blocking at the correct height, this bathtub bench meets federal ADA specifications for bathtub seating and load capacity.
- Structural Anchoring Requirement: Wall mounting flanges must be anchored directly into solid wood studs or structural wall blocking capable of supporting the rated 452-pound vertical static load.
