WingItsWGB6SS12 STANDARD Grab Bar, Concealed Mount, Satin Stainless Steel, 12-Inch Length by 1.50-Inch Diameter

We really got it because we want something to hang our swim suits on when we get out of the hot tub, but we are getting older and a hand rail will be good. It is well made with nice welds. The mounting flanges (inside the cover) have 5 screw holes available. Two are top and bottom and three are at 120 degree spacings. Most wall screws will only handle 50 to 85 pounds. Being able to use 5 screws gave us 425 pounds of strength on each end. we mounted through tiles. Having a 48 inch centers means on 16 inch or 24 inch centered studs the mounting flange can be right over the studs. (at least for the vertical holes) They include 6 #10 (?) screws. I had problems striping the Phillips caps on them. Be sure and pre-drill your holes at least 1/8" and lube the screws with dish soap. Our bar is rock solid!We have had this for two years no. No rust, still solid. Exactly what you want.

I bought 2 of these from this company. One was 30 inches and it was okay. The 48" bar was not. The package had obviously been opened and there were no screws included. I had to go buy 4 stainless steel screws. The flange covers were not properly made. There are supposed to be dimples punched into the cover that engage notches in the mounting flanges to secure the cover in place. I had to use a ball peen hammer and punch to add my own dimples to keep the cover attached to the flanges. If this is the quality that these guys provide I would recommend the bars made by Moen.

This is a good solid grab bar with a slightly wider diameter than most sold a Lowe's or Home Depot. That extra width plus the brushed stainless finish gives an improved sense of security. Mounting to a stud is preferable but if that cannot be done, use Toggler Hollow Wall Anchors.

Purchased as a grab bar for a pull-down staircase. Well made and sturdy, comes with all hardware. Nice long shape and perfect for my application. Like the way the round end covers hide the hardware - looks seamless.
