How do I install a Delta® or Franklin Brass® grab bar if my wall studs are 18 inches apart? (or other non-standard stud widths)

All FAQs

Grab bars are designed to be mounted into two wall studs spaced 16 inches (406 mm) apart. If your studs are spaced 18 inches (457 mm) apart or follow a non-standard layout, you’ll need to anchor one side into a stud and use a wall anchor (not included with Delta® or Franklin Brass® grab bars) on the other side.

For recommended anchors, check out our options available at Lowe’s, Menards, Amazon, and Ace Hardware. Model numbers are DF549 & DF548
