An injection molded grab bar for mounting to a surface comprising: (a) at least one substantially rigid elongated tube, said tube having an axis and first and second end portions, said tube further having a unitary intermediate portion extending between and integral with said end portions, the outer diameter of said intermediate portion varying continuously and smoothly along its length between maximum and minimum diameters whereby said tube intermediate portion has an undulating profile; and (b) at least one substantially rigid, integrally formed surface connector for supporting said tube in spaced relation to a substantially planar surface with the axis of said tube being substantially parallel to the surface, said surface connector having, 1. a substantially planar portion for attachment to the surface, and 2. a tubular portion integral with and extending from said planar portion, said tubular portion of said connector defining at least a first socket said first socket having an axis and an internal cross-sectional size and shape which is complementary to the external cross-sectional size and shape of said end portions of said elongated tube whereby an end portion of said tube may be coaxially engaged in said first socket and said tube will in part be rigidly supported relative to the surface by said connector.
