AquaChase 1-1/4 x 16in Bath Safety Knurled Grab Bar, ADA Compliant, Heavy Duty 500lbs Support, Bathroom Mobility Aid for Seniors and Disabled, Rustproof Stainless Steel Brushed Nickel, Pack of 2

As advertised. Excellent finish with an extended grip control on the bar.

The mounting distance is 16", allowing you to hit 16" on center studs horizontally. Our application is in a separate small room just for a toilet in the master bathroom. These bars are mounted on thewalls horizontally on either side of the toilet, allowing someone to use the bars to lower easily on, and easily raise up off the toilet. We did use longer mounting screws to get a better bite into the studs. The knurled surface isn't too rough on your hands.Some other brands of 16" bars only measure 14-15" mounting distance and only one end will hit a stud and expect you to mount into drywall on the other end. Then they say it is warranted for weight only if mounted into studs on both ends. So look for the details of other brands if mounting horizontally.

I resisted these for too long. With recent surgery and balance issues I had to put these in.I am pleased and gives me peace of mind. The subtle texture is really good too.

I’m 70yrs old. I have not fallen yet but planning ahead for the future.

Used as a safety bar outside the shower. It has a nice finish and is very sturdy.
