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

I purchased both the 12 and 24 grab bar. These are much more stylish looking than the average institutional-looking grab bar, and the stainless finish matches well with other Delta stainless fixtures. These are very sturdy as well.

Beautiful, just what I was looking for!

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

Esay to install and look nice in the shower

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

......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.

The grab bar installed easily and looks like it will be adequate.

When I received the item, the Delta packaging was damaged. The flap from the bottom or the Delta box had been ripped off and therefore the box would not close. Additionally, one of the zip ties holding the box of screws, etc. to the grab bar itself had been cut. It was in the box, but had been sliced. This is a concern, because if I want to return this item, the return policy indicates items should be in original packaging. Original packaging was damaged when this arrived today, July 18, 2022. I dont know if all screws, etc, are included since zip tie had been sliced.

Perfect

Terrific styling. Does not look like the typical institutional grab bars. It can even double as a towel bar. Highly recommend this product.
