Moen 8718 Home 18-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Stainless

Mounted this on the wall to use while stepping in & out of the tub. It was easy to install & is equal the quality & stability of the ones Ive previously purchased at Lowes or Home Depot for 4 times the price. I highly recommend.

We measured wrong, and it was too big. We were very busy with the new bathtub surround that we didnt return it in time. Upset about the short return period because it wasnt cheap. Still in bag/box.

At my age, almost 82, safety in the bathtub is all important! My wife and I take showers, so with three bars to grab if dizzy or balance issues happen, I had to get and install yet one more! Located at a friend’s house, at 84, he has more balance problems than I do! I check on him periodically and I don’t want to find his body lying in his tub.

Needed a safety grab bar to put out at step sons house for his stairway up to his porch. This was a perfect fit, been in place for about 3 months now and works for us when we visit. Quite sturdy, was easy to install. Out in the weather and holding up well.

We haven’t gotten it installed yet but we had one just like it before we moved. My Husband is a Amputee & we had it installed next to the toilet. It really helped him, to pull himself up. We could use three more that were 18” long, if you had them. Thank you.

Were in our seventies; we needed something secure to hold onto getting into and out of the tub. This works great, even in a difficult location. I have a stud right under the edge of tiles in the shower stall. I needed to install this bar on the wall just outside the stall, butted up against the edge of the tiles, but not on top of the stud. That meant the screws would have to go in on an angle to embed into the stud underneath the tiles. That was true of the other end as well (32 bar, studs 16 o.c.). Not a problem. Some screw holes in the ring on the end of the bar are slotted; others are fixed; but the entire ring theyre in can rotate. So I was able to align multiple holes as near as possible to the studs, two on top, one underneath. The screws provided were 3 long, so they could reach and firmly sink into the studs, even on a diagonal. Its rock solid. Obviously the screw heads could not be seated flat. No problem. The ring cover fit over the top of them without any trouble at all, and snapped onto the screw ring below. It looks great, AND it gives us the secure grip we needed.

I have installed a number of these bars. Anyone who has difficulty moving can benefit from assistance from strategically placed bars. Most of them are installed in bathrooms, for sitting down and raising up off the toilet, and yes, it helps if you also have chair-height toilets, or for entry and exit from a tub or shower. (Stepping over the edge of a tub is particularly difficult for those with mobility challenges of various kinds.) They also can be installed in place of towel bars, and youll know which ones when you see them being pulled off the wall. 32 is the perfect length, as two screws on each end can be secured directly into the wooden studs behind the wallboard in a typical American wall, with a resulting ability to handle even a large adult human exercising pressure while rising or sitting, directly or at an angle. This bar has a cover which pressure fits over the end caps with the screw holes, making for a slightly neater installation than those which leave the screw heads exposed.

The bar is strong. But for amateurs (like myself ), I learned it’s a little tedious to drill through tiles to secure. Smh, lol. Once installed, it’s very sturdy.

Nice sturdy bar with a very attractive stainless steel finish. Ive only just got it so cant attest to its rust-proof properties.- At least if the welded part rusts it wont be visible... Installtion is no problem but mine is on a masonry and ceramic wall not the common US wood stud and board, so I sourced my own screws and anchors. Enough screw positions allowed me to use two of the existing holes from a previous towel rail. My tiny quibble is that the cover plates dont click firmly into place enough to stop them rattling when touched or moved. If I had installed this for an elderly relative they could easily lose confidence in it thinking that it was loose on the wall and that I had not done a proper job. I fixed that with a couple of bits of double - sided tape on the inside of the lip of the cover before clipping back the cover. Job done.

Llegaron 1/4” pulgadas mas pequeños. Aun asi creo que es buen producto.
