Can I install it in a shower tub?

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....

I did. Because it was 24" long and the studs in my wall are 16" apart, I decided to install the rail diagonally so that both ends could have at least one screw go into the middle of a stud.

Yes, it can be used for shower only. That requires a pipe plug to be installed in the threaded pipe connection that would normally go to the tub. All water is diverted to the shower.

I had intended this to be used in a large shower at home. Unfortunately I returned the item because the finish was not what I wanted. I don't think you can use it in a bathtub because the surface is not flat. But I am not sure.

You have to straddle the seat with the handle on front of you. I don't think that would work in a shower.

Yes, but i do not think it is designed for use with a bath tub. It is more for a "rainshower" type of setting.

No, this not the intended example use. Get one designed for use in a shower. Sorry

By design, I wouldn't suggest this in a shower. Just outside the shower shouldn't be a problem, but it needs to be secured by tension from floor to ceiling and I fear it might crack your tub/shower with continued pressure. Plus, as you mentioned, it is metal so it will likely rust due to a few holes where residual water will enter and collect. Hope this helps.

This is not for use inside the shower. It is for under the floor in the bathroom only. Do not install this where it will be basically immersed in water

I would not just due to risk of falling is heigh. Shower is wet and slippery and pole could slide out

Yes , you can use it in the shower. Open the slide doors to keep the cutting head clean.

I don't think that it could fit in a regular tub, but you could fit the back legs of the bath booster in though. It wouldn't work well in a small bathroom, best for outside use because you have to hookup the sprayer to the water hose.

The reason for this "Shower Bench" is to be able to "slide" into the tub. Why would you even think about cutting up something so expensive. Just find a cheep bench to sit on that fits your tub.

It would probly work even better! It is adjustable though. As you can see in the photo, it is up against the shower wall, a free standing tub would allow you to navigate better and show the beauty of the piece. I love mine and get many compliments as it is in my guest bath. Dont worry about tub scratches either..its a snug fit with no movement once adjusted and installed.

Yes it installs like a bath fixture. But if you use the valve, it has no lever to operate the shower.

Yes, I'm using it in my tub for my husband. You have to be able to get your legs over the edge of the tub. Make sure it's anchored into the wall securely and it works like a charm!

I don't see why not, I keep mine indoors in a shower and it is great. You may want to keep it in the shade and out of the rain.
