Unlike the foldable handrail, this version is permanently fixed in place rather than collapsible.\n\nThe rail is constructed from a single length of 20 mm diameter steel pipe, cut to 100 cm and bent at each end to form a final rail length of 60 cm and a stand-off height of 5 to 7 cm from the wall. The pipe is welded into the mounting plate using electrical arc welding, then cleaned with an angle grinder. Fabrication uses a pipe bender, hole saw, cut-off saw, angle grinder, and bench drill, with a total production time of approximately 120 minutes.\n\nThe handrail is installed by fixing the mounting plate directly to a bathroom or toilet wall using M6 threaded fixings.\n\n[[File:DS012 Image CAD.jpg|thumb|CAD image of the Fixed Handrail]]\n\n{{Device data|making-instructions=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS012_Maker_Manual.zip|design-files=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS012_Eng_Dwg.zip|risk-assessment=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS012_Risk_Assessment.zip\nhttps://www.appropedia.org/File:DS012_Test_Plan.zip|schematics=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS012_CAD.zip}}\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n! colspan=\"2\" |More Product Information\n|-\n| Author Code\n| DS012\n|-\n| Documentation License\n| CC-BY-4.0\n|-\n| Open Hardware License\n| CERN\n|-\n| Start Date (Development)\n| April 1, 2018\n|-\n| End Date (Development)\n| October 4, 2018\n|-\n| Designer\n| Aziz Wadi\n|-\n| Maker\n| Aziz Wadi\n|-\n| Main Materials\n| Steel pipes & steel plates\n|}\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n!

A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.\n}}{{Page data\n| part-of = Global Field Ready Portfolio\n| sdg = SDG10 Reduced inequalities\n| authors = Charles Vincent Barrete\n| organizations = Field Ready\n| license = CC-BY-SA-4.0\n}}"}
