Is this a "pull string" type of device like in a nurse call system?

We normaly mount them 48" to center or lower.

Thanks Chris, I really wasnt sure how high a wheel chair put someone.


Isn't it more about how high the bathroom throne puts someone? :D

In hospitals, there is normally a pull string, and I think the string has to be within 2" (or maybe its 6") of the floor. I think the idea is that if someone falls on the floor, they can still reach the string.

I thought it was in case there was no TP? :D
