What is needed to install this ( and grab bars) on acrylic shower? The sides of shower are accessible through walls.

The walls, where the folding chair and/or grab bars are installed, must be "beefed up" with solid pieces of wood. Therefore, it sounds like this might be a remodeling situation for a professional.

Installation requirements are the same regardless of shower wall composition. The items must be fastened to 2x4 framing members within the wall with heavy screws. Unless you are exceedingly lucky with placement of wall framing members in existing area, you will need to open the wall & add additional framing members. The same is true for grab bars.

Installation requires the "basic set" which extents from your water pipes through any tile application and fits the shower fixture. The 3/4 in iBox is not required. I contacted Hangsgrophe and they stated that it was an error from Amazon to require this part and in fact it will not work at all with this showerpipe. I contacted Amazon with this problem and they stated that they would remove the requirement. They didn't.

This one can attach in two different ways. It can either be screwed (with two screws) into the wall or shower and/or it also has a full size adhesive pad on the back of it (needs a flat smooth surface of course for it to stick). You can actually do both if needed on this. I just cleaned the shower mounting spot with rubbing alcohol to remove any soap scum and used just the adhesive. Worked great and hold very secure. Make sure it's straight when you stick it on, because it sticks pretty quick. I researched the suction cup types and they either wouldn't stick to the wall or wouldn't hold the shower head. Hope this helps.

I don't know about tubs since I only shower but the vinyl walls of the shower hold the grab bar quite well. I refasten it every time before using it. Only for balance, though.

Any size your walls will accommodate! I used it to get more of a downward aim in a custom shower we built. It works perfectly!

Should attach easily. Surface must be dry...Once u have peeled the plastic, simply hold each end of the suction cups with each hand and push in...Each such says open/close...Once both suction has attached, turn the sections to the right (side with error that says close). Key is dry surface and suction cups when placing it in the shower. This shower device is great for holding hygienial items. Hope my info helps...good luck.

I had the exact situation. I screwed directly into the stud for one anchor and drilled a hole as recommended for the other. This will give you a strong and solid installation. That is what I also would recommend. If you use a standard wall anchor you will downgrade the usefulness as a grab bar. I installed mine because my father(Age 95, 180 lbs) had used the standard toilet paper holder as a grab bar and ripped it out. The Moen holder I installed is as solid as the day I installed it. Moen has it right. Do it right and forget about it. Good luck

Installed on the shower wall there is 2 1/4 inches. Even a large handed person will have room to grab hold.

A towel bar IN THE SHOWER would support this caddy. Although there are those hooks on the back side of the caddy, they probably wouldn't interfere with hanging the caddy. The rear facing hooks are not going to be useful, however, for towels. (Using large pliers to collapse the hooks a bit is possible and would also help ensure the caddy hangs from the towel bar with enough clearance.) If you hung this caddy from a towel bar on the OUTSIDE of the shower, there are those small hooks for a facecloth facing forward, and rear facing hooks which are, again, probably no longer useful in this setup. In either setup, the caddy is narrow, and your original towel bar would still be available for a towel. (This, of course depends on how wide the towel bar is.) Hope this helps . . . I tried to fill in some missing elements in your question.

No, the tub wall has to be a minimum of 3" thick for the grab bar to clamp onto a straight surface.

You have to install a 1/2" threaded copper fitting on the hot and cold water line and it should protrude from the wall about a 1/2". This means eliminating the mixing valve that is currently installed in your shower wall. This is easier said than done and you must measure the shower tower to place the copper connectors at the correct height. So you will need all of the tools for sweating and cutting copper and tools for tile work.

You will need at least 3 walls. 2 walls might work but it would be a small shower. Assuming you have a cubicle, you will not need anything more than a drill to install the curtain.

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

Kathy- There are 3 metal bars that go along the backside, so if you were crafty enough you should be able to attach it to the wall evenly.

I have a corner shower and mine is hanging on one of the side walls. I think it would anything up to 2" thick.

1/2" get a towel wrap the shower arm and a pair of pliers slowly tighten and loosen until you get the depth you need
