DELTA 41612-SS Traditional Decorative Grab Bar, 12, Brilliance Stainless Steel

......mounting this bar vertically as an ADA-compliant grab bar is very difficult if you are screwing it into the narrow dimension of a 2x4 or any other 2-by. To be ADA-compliant, two screws must anchor each end of the grab bar. The actual thickness of a 2-by is 1.5. The way the pre-drilled holes in the mounting plates are placed, it is very difficult to place two screws such that they are both anchored well in the 2-by. This is because, if the bar is vertically positioned, the closest horizontal distance between any pre-drilled hole and the center line hole is about 1. This means that if you place the two holes perfectly centered over a 2-by, each screw will be only 1/4 from an edge of the 2-by. If the 2-by you are trying to hit is not vertical and/or not straight, this task is made even harder. Further, if the 2-by you are trying to screw into is hidden behind existing tile, whew! Good luck! Last and unfortunately, the round shape of the grab bar is too big for small hands, and it is dangerously slippery for even my large hands. I returned the product in exchange for Delta 41936-RB, which is much easier to hold onto.

beautiful AND functional

We ordered a Champagne Bronze grab bar and thats what we got the first time. We decided we wanted a second one but what arrived did not match. We figured out it was probably Polished brass. My wife called Delta to find out if they often have these sort of problems and if anything could be done about it. But she waited for over and hour before the rep transferred her, and then she waited over an hour before giving up. LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE by Delta.

A quality Delta product at a fraction of the cost!

It rates above my expectations. Well made, very sturdy and all parts to install were included. I recommend very highly.

Ive had this bar installed in my shower now for about 2 months, and purposely waited to review it so I could see how the finish holds up. So far, there hasnt been any flaking, fading, or scratching, and it looks as good as the day it was installed.

Great item for the color we needed. Solid beautiful.

very attractive and sturdy, excellent price

We installed a second grab bar and it has been helpful. My husband has safety issues and he now feels more comfortable.

Simple install. Looks great.
