does this work with old tubs with curved tops

Personally I don't think it would if you are referring to the old claw foot tubs. The curvature of the side would probably cause it to kick out toward the outside & not be stable. It is a wonderful grab bar. You could always try it & if it didn't work send it back.

It can work as long as the tube spout does not have the shower exchange plunger on top! Wish I knew that before I purchased!!

I think it would work, but to be on safe side go to Chamberlain. Web site and ask if the square tubing is the same size. Hope this helps

A lot would depend on the styling of your tub. Older tubs may have a wide enough rim, but newer ones or molded tubs may not. You would need a good 2 inches for the side legs to sit securely, and the normal, wider corner.

If the sides of the bath are flat on the top, it will work. In other words, not fluted or curvy on the top, or higher on the ends. It needs to make contact with the edges of the bath all the way around.

Yes, but it is not as rigid as most tubs, so would have some flexibility if used as a replacement. It seems to be designed as a covering for an existing tub. I am using it to cover a broken plastic tub and it is working well.

Yes, there are rubbery/grippy pieces that wrap around the metal on the ends. My tub also has narrow edges but it works just fine

I am not sure because it would not work in my tub even though the width was within range list in description. Sorry I could not help

I believe it will. My tub was in need of resurfacing. bottom was all uneven. It stuck just fine. Been very happy. Hope that helps.

yes if the unit is placed on a smooth flat surface. a curved surface would not work. a rough or stippled surface would not work.

I would guess that it would if the size fit and the tub surface is smooth. I may try that my self. But, I must bring a large size home from the office. 4/22/15 I tried it. Doesn't work.

No, I have not. The tub is oval shaped. It would depend on the shape of the galvanized tub.

Honestly, I don't think it will work for your type of tub. The rollers use a catch inside the mount that is set and cannot be adjusted. I believe that the angle of your tub would cause the rollers to slope toward the tub. The only way that I could see this working is if you build a wedge behind the mount to account for the slope in your tub. Hope this helps.

It should, i used it as a stopper in sinks as i traveled in Europe and it worked with a curve on sinks.

Yes, this does work in a vintage tub BUT my faucet was missing some internal parts and it broke quickly. I did not try to get my money back or exchange it because we waited several months before installing an did not think seller would exchange/refund. Overall, I wound not recommend buying.

I agree with Minos. My drain is flush with the tub and is just a big giant hole that allows everything to go down it (like this http://pix.soundwag.com/web/drain.jpg). This sits right on top. There is a slight curve to this, and it sits curve side up. If you have the type of drain that also acts as the stopper and sticks up into the tub (like this http://s2.hubimg.com/u/5464035_f248.jpg), this will not work on that.
