Moen 8718 Home 18-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Stainless

Would recommend

Bought these in 24, 32 and 48 for all the bathrooms in my house. Originally purchased two bars for my 70 year old mothers bathroom, and then realized how convenient they are to have in place. Both my wife and kids say they use the bars all the time since they are in place. Considering the cost of one slip in the tub is probably ten to one hundred times the cost of the bars, I think they are worth the trouble and money to install. The price on Amazon blows away anything the big box stores sell, and these are much higher quality in my opinion. These bars are 1.25 in diameter, which is slightly smaller than the typical 1.5 diameter. I find them easier to grab, especially for my wife and kids which have smaller hands. To be properly installed they do need to be screwed into studs, so youll either need to be skillful/lucky and find them through the tile wall, or have access to the back side of the wall to reinforce them if needed.

Used as a grab bar for our bathroom. Does exactly what we wanted.

I ordered this Moen grab bar for a customers shower renovation. I have ordered the exact product before and it is easy to install and very sturdy. It arrived quickly with Prime shipping.

Easy to install and great quality!

The bar itself is excellent, the screws leave much to be desired. They are beautiful to behold but dont engage in a #2 Phillips screwdriver worth a hoot! It dosnt matter what they look like because you wont see them anyway. If you are installing this between two studs ( recommended) throw the screws away and use decking screws or something similar about 2 1/2 long. I used 4 of the original screws because I didnt want to stop and go to the hardware store. The instructions recommend a 1/8 pilot hole but I used 3/8 and had a very though time getting them in with a power driver. If you are not mounting against the studs, only drywall, you will need the (extra cost) adapters. Studs are usually on 16 centers. Find them before you order so you will know if you need the adapters.

great

I bought this for my dad after he stayed at a senior living for Physical and Occupational Therapy. I noticed each restrooms had 2 bars positioned by each toilet and I wanted to do the same. I got the 36 inch bar to accommodate the 16 inch space in between each wall stud and it fit perfectly... Only thing, I could only use 2 screws on each side, due to the 2 inch stud. If the stud was 4 inches, I would of been able to use all 8 screws. I tried pulling on it, and it feels pretty sturdy, so Ill just leave it as is. And with the cover plate on, you cant tell that I only used 2 screws on each side. Would definitely buy more if I need and its much cheaper buying it here on Amazon, compared to our local big box stores.

Great quality and easy to install!!

The installation was easy and we are very pleased with its strength.
