Will bar mount in holes 30 1/2' apart already drilled in shower wall?

Sorry about that, I thought the bar was 36" with out measuring mine. Never fear. The Quality of this item, compared to others cannot be matched. My suggestion is: If you are near a Marine Store or go back on Amazon and buy a piece of 1" OD SS Boat rail 36" long an you will be good to go!

The rod is held in place at a distance you choose. So if you already had holes in the wall from your old shower bar this will work just great. You are going to love this unit. It is extremely well made.

Sorry, but we gave this to one of our sons and he lives away so I can't look at it. We installed it for him and I seem to recall the bar and mounts arrive assembled and you just attach it to the wall. I don't know if it could be shortened.

I have not installed mine yet but according to the instructions there are appropriately space holes already on the back of the unit for mounting to wall studs. You need to supply your own lag screws for that though.

Since it was intended for a "standard" 60" shower/tub enclosure I wouldn't want to stray to far from that measurement. Due to the curvature of the bar it would start looking "off" if you closed the adjustment too much. In theory you can close the adjustment to a total width of approximately 33" but again I think you will end up with a non-symmetrical curve.

I had to cut mine a bit shorter, but it was easy to do. Remember though that the shorter you cut the bar, the less arc you have. you will be loosing some of the desired effect of creating space in the enclosure, by keeping the shower curtain as far away from you as possible. Measure twice, cut once, as my old high school teacher Art Taylor used to say. Mike

Yes. We have ours on the same shower extension that already exists on the wall. Works great. It's 5 inches also

The distance is 7/8" between the holes. If you have to add a hole just leave the rod in place when you leave. Believe me it's worth it for the extra room in the shower.

Yes, but really depends on width of wench u install, and placement of holes

If you have a metal wall. There are no pre-drilled holes. There are plenty of wall mounted paper towel holders on the market

My answer would be no. If the little rear hooks on each side were straight down, then I'd say yes. But since they curve upward, I think they would rub against your wall, depending on the space between the bar & the wall.

Yes, my plumber was able to get it mounted straight. I took some adjusting but it is possible.

We have it installed on one side of a glass shower surround. The outside edge of the bar itself is 2.75" out, with the support posts on each end sticking out anotber 1/4 inch.

My experience is with the 18" bar, horizontally mounted, which can be installed on studs 16" on center. The details are in my review at http://www.amazon.com/review/R3O4JPSFZVDHT3/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm. The 36" would fit in a similar fashion on stud pair at 32".

If you're seating this directly into the drywall, I'd say yes. Although, if I recall correctly, the pre-drilled holes are spaced roughly sixteen(16) inches apart, so if you have flexibility in where you place the hanger, you can simply drive a screw into the stud on one end, level it, and the other hole should line up with the other stud.

I did not see any 36 inch bars when I was searching. However, I would check Lowe's, because I bought one of my 24 inch bars there. Next step would be to contact Moen directly on their website. Art

Yes... and no.... It needs to fasten to something SOLID, and a one-piece free-standing assembly with fiberglass or plastic side walls may not qualify if you want the full 250# capability. If the shower actually comes close to studs where you want the grab bar then you can just find them and screw directly into the wood. Otherwise you would have to have access to the back side and be able to put reinforcement in place. If you were installing it while also installing the tub/surround itself then you could easily attach the bar before putting the assembly in place. The one thing you do NOT want to do is just insert screws through the thin walls into air and expect it to hold the weight. Yes... and no....
