Please note when looking for safety grab rails, there are two basic diameters to choose from; 1-1/4" and 1-1/2".
I tried the larger 1-1/2" ones (bought at Home Depot), but I didn't like the larger size for for this particular installation. I was using them next to a ladder climbing into the attic where a good grip is important.
Next to a tub or stool, I think the larger 1-1/2" size may be more comfortable for lifting youself up.
But next to a ladder where literally, your "grip" keeps you from falling, the smaller diameter size really feels better. And they provide 500lbs loading same as the 1-1/2".
I bought a pair of these 12" long, plus a pair of 18", a 24" and a 42"
Note that the length is measured from the center-to-center of each tube where it meets the wall. Extra "blocking" may be needed inside your studded wall for the 3 screws at each end.
I had one minor gripe, they just throw these bars (each in it's own plastic bag) into a cardboard box and ship it. I was surprised they were not beat up.
As usual, Amazon had the best price and free shipping too. I love that!The grab bar was easy to install and I feel better having it in the tub area. I use it for stability.
