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

beautiful AND functional

Installed one in our main bath to replace a towel bar. Looks good. Was pretty easy to install. One end mounted to a stud the other did not. Luckily it includes a no-stud mounting bracket. Just be sure you have everything marked and level before you begin.

It’s bulky. Not much style to it. Very sturdy

......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.

Esay to install and look nice in the shower

These are very nice. They look wonderful in my bathtub and shower.

A quality Delta product at a fraction of the cost!

Very strong. Nice finish. My only complaint is that cosmetic screw cover does not fit tightly.

The bronze color is perfect and looks beautiful in our new shower. It took awhile to get installed as the tile needed to be carefully drilled but it was worth the effort.

great price
