Review on 🚿 Moen R8736P Home Care 36-Inch Grab Bar: Enhanced Bathroom Safety with Concealed Screws and Peened Finish by Dexter Diaz

After helping some elderly neighbors install railings I chose the Moen R87xxP series for my own bathroom. Handrails from many manufacturers seem almost identical, so why do I prefer this model? a) Moen's "87" series uses 1.25" stainless steel tubing instead of the 1.50" tubing used by Moen's "89" series and many other companies. The smaller diameter is easier for most people to hold on to, the whole assembly protrudes about 1/2 inch less from the wall and feels less "institutional". ) provides better support. c) Both the "87" and "89" series from Moen have mounting plates that allow three brackets on each end and more flexibility in mounting the bracket than most other manufacturers. Tip 1: If you feel very comfortable, have them installed by a trusted professional. And if you put them in the bath or shower, make sure the professional caulks the mounting plates from the side of the wall and then around the lid to prevent the water from running. into the wall. Tip 2: A 36 inch or 42 inch length is best for a 5 foot tub.
