Can this unit be installed on fiberglass shower wall panels?

You have to install the blockings at two places behind shower unit. one is between controler ans bottom jet head and the other is just above top jet head.

We have a tile shower and purchased this as a replacement for a similar one we had. The plumbing was already there so we just had to remove the old one and attach this. I would guess the surface material of your shower isn't as critical as whether or not the plumbing matches up. If this is a new installation, you'd have to ask whoever is installing your shower but I don't see why not.

my biggest concern would be existing holes on the fiberglass i would doubt that the shower unit would cover them.

Yes, my husband cut a 4X6 inch hole in fiberglass around existing valve to cut loose from the plumbing and used compression fittings to make the connection. He thinks the hardest thing will be securing the brackets for hanging. He was able to reach the fastening on the back of ours because our wall was open but said if you use toggle bolts to secure the brackets to the fiberglass wall it should work. He also said it takes at least 60 lbs of water pressure to make the message jets work properly. The only negative is the noise that the little bit of noise the hydro generator makes internally which supplies electricity for the digital display (along with the batteries). Overall we really like it. Will probably get another one for our other bathroom.

It would most likely stick to the fiberglass, but it is not really meant to get/stay wet. I'd probably try Bondo instead.

I cannot tell you whether this unit should be installed over a shower. That is something you should ask the manufacturer for guidance on. Call the manufacturer's customer service phone number for guidance.

I think this can work on a fiberglass tub IF the tub does not flex too much as the clamp is tightened. Mine wasused on a standard cast iron tube, so the clamping was certain.

I would think it would, since the surface between a vinyl and fiberglass is pretty close compare to a concrete one. You might want to go on the Hayward site and see what it says or email the company. I really like this gadget.

Yes and it stays put.My shower is fiberglass and I love it! Its very easy to put up as well.Make sure you give it 24 hours for the silicon glue to attach to your shower wall and you are good to go.You will not be disappointed.Finally no more shampoo bottles falling down.

We put ours on a fiberglass shower unit and it adhered just fine. However, I can't speak as to whether or not it is removable without damage. Personally, I wouldn't assume you can remove it without damage due to the chemical reaction with the glue and fiberglass. Wouldn't recommend for a temporary solution or for use in a rental.

I have a fiberglass shower tub one piece unit, I have mine on my left side. It is on the shower unit wall. I do understand what you mean about stability getting in and out. Follow the direction that came with the Super Grip Suction Handle. It is to balance you and not to take the weight. I do not shower without it. Before you get into the tub, make sure it is secured on a smooth surface.

As Jimmy69 advised I would not install in shower area w/o it being on a GFI protected circuit. It is not a waterproof sealed unit.

I would not. This has a rare kind of acid in it. It is designed for fiberglass tubs/showers. As mentioned by others, it does have a very strong fume to it. But it is the only thing I've found that works great on my fiberglass tub to remove the mineral stains from my water. I would not use it on a painted surface.

Suggest you contact Wingits. They were very helpful to me when I had an installation question. I have a tiled shower and can't answer your question.

I use it in a fiberglass shower and it works well. I think It is beginning to wear down which means that it doesn't last a year. I still really like it though.

I have not tried it on glass showers. I have used this product on my fiberglass tub since new and it still looks new after many years. I think will do a great job on glass. I have put it on my front storm door and it left it streak free. Other product could not do that. Great product.

This shower panel is very nice, but the installation directions are nearly worthless. There is a part that is needed that is not included with the purchase. You will need a water outlet box like those used for a washer machine. Check out a similar unit being installed on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Z1Xb5n6F0

The challenge with installing in a fiberglass shower is what do you secure into. The walls of the shower are very thin so you can't use screws as there is nothing to hold into. I have installed a similar bar in a thin walled shower but I used toggle bolts with are metal and provide there own behind the shower wall support. The safety bar was very secure when the toggle bolts were tightened up. You may be lucky to hit a stud behind the shower wall but don't bank on it. Hope this helps.

Yes, ours is fiberglass I think. They are peeling off though. I think my niece really scrubs the shower HARD when she cleans. Going to have to invest in a suction mat.
