36 CFR Part 1191 ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines for Emergency Transportable Housing Units
607.4 Grab Bars (Exception 2)
Exception 2 to this section permits grab bars to not be installed at bathtubs in residential dwelling units required to provide mobility features provided that the walls are reinforced to support future installation of grab bars. The final rule revises Exception 2 so that it does not apply to emergency transportable housing units required to provide mobility features since it could result in delays in installing grab bars in the units.
