Project Source Exposed Screw 18-in Stainless steel Wall-mount ADA Compliant Grab Bar ( 500-lb Weight Capacity )
Why are all these grab bars NOT 16 or 32 or 48 inches long--made to install on studs that are 16" on center? Ridiculous!

Grab bar is that size because you will install it diagonally between 2 studs.
Was this Answer Helpful ?I have thought that myself, but on reflection, installing a 24" bar at an angle between 16" studs makes for a wider flexibility of 'heights' for the grip, and is extremely strong. Most of mine have been installed vertically on a stud.
