Moen R8712P 12-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Peened

Since I did not have studs to install these into, I use the Moen custom clips requiring drilling into the tile , through the cement board, and they are solid. These are purchased separately, but very happy with the purchase and very easy to install. You need a drill, the circular hole saw to sign for tile, a level, and a screwdriver.

Purchased this for my 84 year old grandmother who was having balance and arthritis issues to help her step into and out of the shower. She absolutely loves it, has made a huge difference in her safety while bathing. My boyfriend (who work construction) installed it, and it took him all of 5 minutes, super easy and secure when attached to a stud. My grandmothers physical and occupational therapists also loved it. Great product, function and it looks very nice in her bathroom. She was very concerned about her bathroom looking like “an old person bathroom” but the product is sleek and professional looking. Definitely recommend!

Just refinished a small bath. I installed two 12 inch bars in the shower and one 16 inch bar (which also doubles as a towel rack) just outside the shower. At first my wife thought they may be too industrial looking, but after our contractor installed them she is happy with how they look. We had the bathroom completely gutted and planned for the location of the bars with our contractor. He nailed in blocks of wood to support the grab bars and I then took pictures and measurements so that the bars could be installed into the wood blocks after the tile was put up. With that preparation, the grab bars are very strong and hold my 200 pounds easily. The preening is very effective at preventing wet hands from slipping. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

My husband ordered too long

Considering the statistics stating that one of the major causes of injuries at home is slipping and falling in the shower or tub, I thought this was a wise move before I fell prey to this. I have a deeper soaking tub thats also a shower, and therefore the risks getting in and out are greater than average. It was ordered through Amazons web-site and the reason I chose it was because it was the cheapest of all the products in this category, in a brass finish. It arrived within 3 days of the order, and was packaged well. The grab bars covers over the mount were a bit difficult to remove, and needed a screwdriver to prise off. Youve got to do it carefully so as not to mar the finish, but the finish seemed pretty tough anyway. The mount provides multiple positions to position screws. It recommends that you use three screws each, but its kind of hard to find enough room on a 2 stud to put two screws side-by-side, especially when you have to first accurately locate the studs position using a sensor. This is probably the hardest part in trying to mount this on the tiled wall adjacent to the shower / tub. Otherwise, everything else went easily - just be careful drilling through tilework so as not to crack it. I used a hammer drill with a 3/8 bit, but first I covered the drill spot with a piece of electrical tape on which I marked the hole positions. Then go slow... After screwing in the bar, it was easy to slip the brass covers over the mounting plates.

Installed 2 different sizes and these look and work great. Recommend Hilti anchors w/white plastic pull tabs available at home depot for sturdy install when you dont have stud directly behind.

The white color is nice. It was easy to install with the right tools (stud finder, electric drill/screwdriver, level). Great product for the discounted price that I paid.

I attached it to the post next to the steps so our elderly friends can grab it to get up the steps.

This product is indeed a lovely looking and solid steel grab bar that when intalled correctly will hold to the wall for any person no matter how large they are. Also, it will not rust or lose its luster over time. For a product coming out of China, this is well built. Thanks, Dr. GD Goldberg

For my shower, these support bars do just what they say: grab & support bars. They also look so -o-o -o coo-o-o-ool. Being peened makes them a bit safer as you have a better grasp for your support. Im very happy that thats what I ordered.
