Frequently asked questions
Are these genuine manufacturer replacement parts?

- Perfect compatibility with your 12005 Padded Seat Transfer Bench.
- Reliable performance that meets original safety standards.
Does the kit come with all necessary hardware?
Absolutely. The kit is designed as a ready-to-install solution and includes:
- One high-quality suction cup.
- All required mounting screws for a secure attachment.
Is this part compatible with other bench models?
No, this specific suction cup (part number 12011SL) is engineered exclusively for the 12005 Padded Seat Transfer Bench. Using it on other models may compromise the safety and stability of the equipment.
How do I ensure the suction cup maintains a firm grip?
For optimal safety and adhesion, it is essential to follow these maintenance tips:
- Keep surfaces clean: Ensure the bathtub or shower floor is free of soap scum, grime, or residue.
- Proper application: A clean, dry surface allows the rubber to create a strong vacuum seal, restoring the bench to its original stability.
Is the material safe for wet bathroom environments?
Yes. The suction cup is constructed from high-grade, medical-quality rubber. This material is specifically chosen for its resilience and slip-resistant properties, making it ideal for the consistent moisture found in bath and shower settings.
How can I easily remove the suction cup when needed?
The design features integrated molded tabs located on the perimeter of the cup. These are clearly embossed with the instructions “Pull Tab to Release,” allowing you to safely and easily break the vacuum seal when the bench needs to be moved or cleaned.
Will replacing the suction cup improve bench stability?
Yes, over time, the rubber on suction cups can lose its natural elasticity and grip. Installing this new part restores the vacuum seal, which is critical for the structural integrity and stability of your transfer bench, effectively reducing the risk of slips.
What is the primary function of this replacement part?
This component serves as a critical maintenance piece for the 12005 transfer bench. Its primary function is to:
- Provide a reliable vacuum seal on the floor surface.
- Maintain the user’s safety during transfers.
- Restore the bench’s original factory-level stability.
Can I perform this replacement on my own?

How durable is the rubber material used?
The suction cup is made from durable, medical-grade rubber designed to withstand frequent use in wet environments. It is built to resist wear and maintain its suction integrity, helping to prolong the lifespan of your transfer bench.
